Erick Erickson, a conservative radio host, harshly criticized President Trump for his willingness to accept a $400 million luxury airplane from Qatar. He pointed out Qatar's connections with Hamas and Iran, emphasizing that the funds used to purchase the plane could be linked to violence against American citizens. Erickson stated his disapproval wasn't about corruption or legal violations but rooted in moral grounds, asserting that the President shouldn't utilize an aircraft funded by a rogue regime responsible for harming Americans. Other Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul, echoed similar concerns about Trump's dealings with Qatar.
"It's not a bribe or corruption, my concern is that the plane was purchased with money used to murder American citizens. Qatar is a rogue regime."
"Other Republicans, like Sen. Rand Paul, also criticized Trump for accepting the gift from Qatar, reflecting a growing unease in the party about ties with such regimes."
