MAGA media stars bash Trump’s reported Qatar plane gift

So it was bound to be explosive when ABC News reported Sunday that Qatar’s royal family would make a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet available to Trump as Air Force One, after which it would be donated to his presidential library foundation for his use after leaving office.
Several top Republicans in Congress have expressed concerns about the 747 deal, including that the plane would be a security risk.
A number of Republicans, including some MAGA loyalists, have since urged Trump to not accept a potential jet from Qatar. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Fox News that it would be a “mistake" to accept the jet, while MAGA loyalist Laura Loomer said she was “disappointed” that Trump was considering accepting the jet.
