We are working to uphold the Constitution by preventing the acceptance of a foreign gift—a plane from Qatar—without Congress’s explicit consent, as it poses serious national security risks and legal concerns under the Foreign Emoluments Clause. Our goal is to ensure that any such plane is controlled solely by the U.S. Government, protecting public trust and taxpayer interests.

If it smells like a conflict of interest, flies like a suit-up gift, and lands on taxpayers’ bills, it’s time for a no-fly zone.

Foreign gifts are how diplomacy lands—turning down a $400 million jet over technicalities might just ground common sense.

A $400 million jet from Qatar? That’s either a constitutional red flag or a very expensive game of political hot potato.

Let’s keep the skies and the law clear—no presidential playbook should include foreign freebies without Congress on board.

So now a private plane becomes ‘illegal’ just because Congress didn’t sign off? Sounds like a bureaucratic joyride gone wild.

When the Constitution says no freebies from foreign rulers, you don’t get to rewrite the rules because you want a fancy plane.

If President Trump’s using the plane after his term, maybe it’s less about corruption and more about efficiency—wake me up when that’s illegal.

Sure, a fancy plane sounds nice until you realize Congress never gave the thumbs-up—rules matter, or they don’t matter at all.

Foreign emoluments aren’t perks—they’re potential bribes, and Congress isn’t here to play pilot to corruption.
