A recent YouGov poll reveals that 47% of Americans find it unacceptable for President Trump's administration to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar, designated for Air Force One during his presidency. Trump defends the acquisition, claiming it is a generous offer without strings attached. Nevertheless, notable conservatives, such as Ben Shapiro, have criticized the decision, especially by drawing comparisons to scenarios involving the Biden family, suggesting that reactions would be vastly different if the roles were reversed. Overall, the poll reflects public skepticism about the ethical implications of accepting the gift.
By a 47-30 margin, the respondents said taking the gift is unacceptable. Twenty-three percent said they were not sure.
Trump has vigorously defended acceptance of the jet arguing it came with no strings attached. I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer, Trump said.
Many prominent figures on the Right have come out strongly against taking the plane, indicating concerns over ethical implications.
Shapiro said if the situation were reversed with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, there would be outrage on the Right.
