Americans willing to pay taxes for the more than 100 million required to prepare the grifted #plane for use by #Trump, are like #Christians, donating money they need for their family to pay for an extra plane for their religious leader, who wants a new one.

No better place to #grift than a movement.

www.bbc.comUS preacher asks followers to help buy fourth private jetJesse Duplantis, 68, said God told him to "believe" for his fourth plane, which is set to cost $54m.

It is more than concerning that an American #president can be bought. Now the 400 million #plane is in the open. But what other bribes does the orange clown accept under the table in order to maximize his personal enrichment out of the presidency?

CNN · Past presidents couldn’t keep gifts of lions or horses. How could Trump accept a jet from Qatar?By Zachary B. Wolf

US President Donald Trump on Monday furiously rejected #ethics concerns over his plans to receive a jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One, saying it would be "stupid" not to accept such a gift. "It's a great gesture," the 78-year-old billionaire told reporters at the White House when asked if the oil-rich Gulf state would expect anything in exchange. FRANCE 24's Eliza Herbert reports.

While the US administration is attacking and defunding US #libraries, #Trump uses his presidential #library to get an upgraded 747 as his private jet, the Washington Post reports:
“The Qatari #plane will first be a time-limited gift to the Air Force. Shortly before Trump leaves office, after it has been upgraded at taxpayer expense, it will be transferred to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, which will then keep it available for the fund’s namesake.”
