Trump Defends Gifted Air Force One From Qatar and Makes 2nd Amendment Pitch as He Campaigns for GOP
Trump said Qatar’s leader offered the 747 as a gift and defended using it while rallying Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump defended accepting a gifted 747 jet from Qatar at an Arizona rally, telling supporters he took the luxury aircraft because "when you're given gifts, you take them!"
- Facing delays in securing new U.S. presidential aircraft, Trump approached the Emir of Qatar, Tamim, to borrow a 747 because existing planes are 35 years old.
- Boeing officials identified the best available 747, but Tamim insisted on gifting the aircraft rather than providing a loan, leading Trump to accept the jet.
- NBC News reported in August that Trump plans to display the aircraft at his future presidential library, despite strong bipartisan criticism that followed the acceptance last year.
- The campaign swing serves as a "midterm blitz" for the Republican Party ahead of November 3 elections, as Trump works to maintain congressional control in competitive races.
