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.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
