Even The MAGA Faithful Are Calling Out Trump For Reportedly Accepting A Jumbo Jet From Qatar

After reports came out that President Trump is accepting a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari royal family, even MAGA diehards like Laura Loomer spoke out to criticize the move.

After news outlets revealed that President Donald Trump is accepting a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatar royal family, one of his prominent supporters—far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer—spoke out to criticize the move.

In a Truth Social post Sunday night, Trump claimed the Pentagon would be accepting a Boeing 747-8 “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE” to serve as a temporary replacement for Air Force One. Trump’s comments come just ahead of his planned visit to Doha, Qatar—part of his first major overseas trip since taking office in January.


The statement followed reports that his administration had agreed to take a luxury aircraft from the Qatari royal family, which will be outfitted for presidential use during a potential second term, according to two individuals with knowledge of the arrangement. Trump described the handoff as occurring “in a very public and transparent transaction.”

The news quickly caught the eye of far-right activist Laura Loomer, who earlier told Politico that she found the reports "concerning" and later took to X to address the matter in more detail.

She wrote:

"I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million “gift” from jihadists in suits. The Qataris fund the same Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah who have murdered US Service Members."
"The same proxies that have worked with the Mexican cartels to get jihadists across our border. This is really going to be such a stain on the admin if this is true. And I say that as someone who would take a bullet for Trump. I’m so disappointed.

Far-right provocateur Tim Pool—who has lately had a place during official White House press briefings—also criticized the move, sharing Trump's Truth Social post with his followers and noting that the administration's move "bothers basically everyone."

When even the MAGA faithful are up in arms, that's saying something—and people mocked Loomer profusely.


Other people have criticized the Trump administration more directly.


Loomer's rebuke is all the more striking because she recently made headlines after meeting with Trump in person.

During that meeting, Loomer reportedly presented Trump with a list of individuals she viewed as disloyal to him—and Trump appeared to take her concerns seriously. Soon after, he dismissed six officials from the National Security Council following what sources described as an extraordinary Oval Office discussion.

The decision followed a meeting on Wednesday in which Loomer personally attacked several National Security Council staffers by name. Armed with a stack of printed materials, she entered the White House and questioned the loyalty and character of multiple officials.

Then-national security adviser Michael Waltz arrived partway through and offered a limited defense of his team—but it was evident he had little influence over the outcome.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
