Trump's $400M Qatari jet: Letters to the Editor -- May 16, 2025

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : They opened the border to all -- including criminals and traffickers -- and gave millions to non-governmental organizations (a lot of so-called Christian charities) to harbor these illegals.
34% : After all that Goodwin has written about the president, I think that he still doesn't really "get" Trump.
32% : Trump sees Qatar's offer of a $400 million plane for use as Air Force One not as a bribe, but as a "diss" at Boeing for the company being unable to deliver a new plane on time.
30% : It does open the door for a chorus of criticism toward Trump.
23% : Shame on Trump for keeping the so-called gift.
15% : About the Qatari plane: President Trump said it would be "stupid" not to take the gift ("Prez is acting plane reckless on Qatar," Michael Goodwin, May 14).
13% : As for Goodwin's concern about how the Democrats will try to use this "bribe" against Trump in the midterms, I dare say that when Trump has inflation normalized, food prices down, interest rates reduced and the tax cuts made permanent, voters will look at their swollen IRAs and say Trump should keep the plane as a token of their appreciation.
