Even some Maga Republicans are outraged by Trump's youngest scandal

Even Republicans are not too satisfied with President Donald Trump.

On Monday, Trump confirmed that he was ready to accept a super luxury -boing jet as a gift from Qatar -a country that he describes in 2017 as the “bank promoter of terrorism”.

Since then, a number of Republicans, including some Maga Loyalists, have asked Trump not to accept a potential jet from Qatar. The US Senator Randa Paul (R-Ky.) In Fox News said it would be a “mistake” to accept the Jet, while Maga loyalist Laura Loomer said she was “disappointed” that Trump is considering accepting the jet.

The criticism continued on Tuesday – two days after ABC reported messages about the potential gift for the first time.

Ben Shapiro, a right-wing extremist Podcaster, beat Trump about the report during his podcast episode this week.

“Take the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Jazeera, that is not first America,” said Shapiro. “If you want President Trump successful, this kind of Skeezy has to stop stuff.”

The US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on CNBC that he was “not a fan of Qatar” and expressed concerns about potential security problems.

“I also think that the plane has significant problems with espionage and surveillance problems, so we will see how this problem affects. But I certainly have concerns,” he said.

Gop Rep. Dusty Johnson also aimed at Trump on the report: “I don't like it. There is a reason why people can't even buy a steak dinner. It is not necessarily that they can prove that I have an ethical problem, but that the appearance of IT does not look great. I don't know how much I trust the Qatar government.”

Nikki Haley, Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations, who supported him last year, tore him about the potential gift.

“It is never a good practice to accept gifts from foreign nations. It threatens intelligence and national security. Especially if this nation supports a terrorist organization and can live these terrorist regimes on the ground. Regardless of how beautiful the plane is, it opens a door and implies the president and we can be bought.

And US Senator Lisa Murkowski just laughed when he was asked if he was turning the potential Qatar jet into Air Force One.

“You sweep this plane better from front to back,” she said.

Trump defended the view of a new aircraft in a social post of truth on Sunday.

“The fact that the Ministry of Defense gives a gift from a 747 aircraft, which the 40 -year -old Air Force One, temporarily replaces in a very public and transparent transaction, receives a gift.” Everyone can do that! “

ABC News reported that Trump leaves the aircraft as a presidential aircraft until shortly before he was transferred to the foundation in January 2029 when ownership of the foundation was transferred.

The gift was expected to be announced when Trump visits the first extended abroad of his second term as part of a trip that also contains stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Before Trump's post-trumpet of the idea, Ali al-Ansari, Katar's Medien-Attaché, said in a statement that “the possible transmission of an aircraft for temporary use as a Luftwaffe one is currently being considered between the Qatar Department of Defense and the US Department of Defense”.

“But the matter is checked by the respective legal departments and no decision was made,” added the explanation.
