The president boasts the plane, which will be used as Air Force One until he leaves office, is a "gift, free of charge," but Democrats fear it is "bribery."

President Donald Trump told critics of his decision to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to pipe down Sunday in a late-night post on Truth Social. The issue seemed to unite both Democrats and Republicans in outrage Sunday after ABC News broke the story that Trump planned to take the $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to use as his new Air Force One.

The Trump administration is set to accept a luxury plane from the Qatari royal family that will be retrofitted and used as Air Force One during the president’s second term, two people familiar with the agreement told CNN.
