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.

As many critics pointed out, the Qatari jet is not like the Statue of Liberty since Americans will be unlikely to pay a visit to it. Also, Trump will reportedly be keeping the jet after he leaves office. Journalist Yashar Ali poured cold water on the comparison on Sunday.

The US is poised to accept a jet from Qatar. But legal experts previously told BI the reported gift raises both ethical and constitutional concerns.
