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.

Qatar is reportedly giving a $400 million luxury jet to US President Donald Trump as 'government-to-government' transaction. An old video of Trump has re-surfaced which shows him lambasting Qatar and calling the country' funders of terrorism'.
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.
