- Senator Rand Paul expressed concerns that accepting a luxury jet from Qatar could impair the U.S.'s ability to criticize human rights violations.
- Trump defended the potential acceptance of the jet as a smart gesture, despite other senators' worries about safety and political implications.
- Senator Rick Scott stated he would not fly on a Qatari plane due to its support for Hamas, while Senator John Thune acknowledged delays in constructing a new Air Force One.
- Democrats sharply criticized the situation, claiming that accepting the jet would violate the Emoluments Clause.
"So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA."— President Donald Trump responded to criticism on Truth Social.
