Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘13-Year-Old 747 No Longer Good Enough for the Emir of Qatar’ Is What’s Being Gifted to Trump

EXCERPT:

O’DONNELL: “It’s a 13-year-old 747, no longer good enough for the emir of Qatar, where no one dares object to the dictator giving the plane to the author of the Muslim ban in the first week of the first Trump presidency. In Donald Trump’s social media posting tonight, he insisted that the 747 is free. 'FREE' in capital letters. But that is another one of those Trump lies in capital letters. When someone gives you a gift that you then have to spend several hundred million dollars to make usable, or $1 billion or $2 billion to make usable, that is not free. Every one of those billions of dollars it will take to make that plane a usable Air Force One will come from American taxpayers.”
