Hillary Clinton weighed in with common sense Wednesday on President Donald Trump’s intent to accept a complimentary Air Force One replacement from Qatar.
“No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return,” the former secretary of state wrote on X. “Be serious.”
Since news of the pending deal broke sparking concerns about ethics, constitutionality and security, Trump has offered myriad justifications for saying yes to the offer.
“Why wouldn’t I accept a free gift?” Trump asked Fox News’ Sean Hannity this week aboard the current Air Force One.
At Hannity’s suggestion, Trump also implied the freebie would be compensation for the United States’ expensive efforts to try to keep the Middle East and elsewhere secure.
