Donald Trump is threatening to sue Americans for discussing the apparently cozy relationship he has with Qatari leadership. In a post on Truth Social, the president publicly threatened to sue ABC News for reporting on the super luxury jumbo jet he received as a gift from Qatar.

The 47 cabal LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Of course he approached them. He found out it was for sale and Capt Penis Envy saw how huge it was and knew that he would not have to pay for the maintenance and operating costs so of course he wants it. Nothing is too good for him if the taxpayers are paying for it.

He wants the taxpayers to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade this bribe to be secure for the office and then wants to take it when he leaves office.

Such a ------ grift that the GOP (who wanted to impeach Biden over being reimbursed for loan payments he made on Hunter's truck) will ingore.

The entire GOP is corrupt to it's core.

Now we got GOP sh*tbags on TV saying Biden started the acquisition discussions.

No lie to too big when it comes to the GOP.

You can't make this stuff up.

Could you imagine if a comedy writer had pitched this years ago as a story for a White House drama? They'd be laughed out of the room.

Yet here we are.

Americans will wake tomorrow to a rant posted online at 3:45am by this idiot, who will state (1) he never said it was a gift, (2) friends give things to each other all the time, in exchange for other gifts, and (3) he never wanted a new plane anyway, because AF1 is 'the best and most beautiful' plan in the known universe.

Clip and save...

Trump has credibility only with the insanely credulous.

Trump is a megalomaniac, wannabe dictator.

His corruption is so blatant it's sickening nothing has been done about him.

Trusting the 30k+ World Record Lyin' King over almost anyone else means you are in a Cult.
