Right-wing commentator, author Ann Coulter joined the MAGA voices that defended President Donald Trump accepting a Qatari Boeing from the royal family and said the Statue of Liberty was also a gift to the US, accepted by then-president Grover Cleveland. While social media users reminded her that Cleveland did not keep the State of Livery with himself unlike what Trump plans to do with the Boeing jet, the debate on this expensive gift went on.
"I can't wait for the press to find out about France's so-called "gift" of the Statue of Liberty, accepted in 1886 by then-President Grover Cleveland," Ann Coulter wrote.
Trump embarked on his four-day Middle East trip, the first official trip of his administration making his first stop at Saudi. The gift was supposed to be announced when Trump reached Qatar but now it remains to be seen what the administration decides, as a lot of controversy has already been created. Trump, however, made it clear that he will never turn down a free, expensive plane from a country that US supported throughout, he said. Trump also called Democrats world class losers for creating the controversy.
As the Statue of Liberty comparison dominated, one wrote that it would be like State of Liberty gift from France but only if Cleveland had installed it in his yard when he left office.
The Qatari jet is supposed to be transferred to Donald Trump's museum once his term ends.
"I missed the part where Grover Cleveland rode around on the Statue of Liberty & then packed it up and took it with him for personal use when he left office and struck a $5.5B real estate deal with France while in office enriching himself," another wrote.
"MAGA can’t tell the difference between accepting the Statue of Liberty from France, and Donald Trump accepting a $400 million jet from Qatar to use as Air Force One so he can fly around on it. This is where we’re at," a third user wrote.

So the “palace in the sky,” $400M, Uday Hussein jet is actually a gift to Defense Department that will be used exclusively by Trump and he gets to take it home?
