What happened during Donald Trump's press conference in Qatar?
donald trump just held a disastrous presser in front of the new qatari air force one qatar of course gave donald trump a 400 million dollar jet which was then renovated to the tune of over a billion dollars by american taxpayers this is his first trip on Qatari Air Force One, and he wanted to show it off, but this press conference went sideways very quickly. Donald Trump was asked by members of the press how critics say that you are profiting off the presidency. Your latest financial disclosures show that you made close to $2 billion off of crypto and stock trades, 21,000 stock trades, one every few minutes at this point while you were in the Oval Office. What's going on there? Watch his response.
Let's play this clip.
Well, you know why I'm profiting?
Because the stock market's going up. Everybody's profiting. Do you have a 401k? How's your 401k done? It's about up 85%. Thank you, President Trump. So we're all profiting. I'm profiting because I have a lot of money and a lot of cash and I give it to institutions. I don't know if they know what they're doing or not, but they buy a vast array of things.
Then Donald Trump says, yeah, this new Qatari Air Force One, it's really the pride and joy of the American people. This Qatari jet, it represents true patriotism. And the American people love when Middle East countries like Qatar are now the donors of our Air Force One. Here, play this clip.
So we're very proud of this. The country is very proud of it. And you can do two things.
How did Trump respond to questions about profiting from the presidency?
You can low key it, or you can show it. And I think the country should be very proud of it.
And it's beautiful, and you'll see that in a little while when you board. And so a reporter said, OK, but what about the cost? We've heard over a billion dollars. Yes, they donated this to you, but you're going to steal it. When you're out of office, you're gonna keep it as your own personal plane, you've said that. But how much did it cost the taxpayers? And then Donald Trump's like, very little relative to what it would have cost in a different way. The hell does that even mean? I'll tell you what it means. It means Donald Trump is a con artist. He is a fraud, and while you suffer, while you can't afford your groceries and gas or anything, or rent and have your healthcare ripped away, he thinks you're stupid.
Let's play this clip.
Mr. President, what's your favorite upgrade to the new plane, and how much did it cost American taxpayers to upgrade the plane?
Well, of course, very little relative to what it would cost if we did it a different way. So this was a gift from a country that's treated us very well. And they're an ally of us over in the Middle East, Qatar. And I went to Boeing. I said, who has the best one? They said, Qatar. There's never been a plane like it. Frankly, we couldn't build a plane like this because we wouldn't be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollars.
What financial disclosures were revealed during the press conference?
So the head of Boeing said, this is considered the best 747 they've ever built. And I went to Qatar. I said, I'd like to use it. for a period of time because the other ones, as you know, are under construction. They'll be here in two years. And because, you know, the plane is 35 years old. So I said, I'd like to use it. And the Emir, Tamim, who's a great gentleman, he said, no, no, I'd like to make a contribution to the country. So it was very nice. And we're able to do it in about five months, you know, bring it up to the presidential standard, meaning security-wise. And you're going to get a kick out of it. There's just nothing like it.
Then Donald Trump was asked more questions about his financial disclosures, which show close to $2 billion were made trading stocks and crypto in the Oval Office. And again, he says, look, Look, you know what rich people do, okay? When you're rich, they let you do it, so just stop asking me questions. Here, play this clip.
You know, I don't get involved in my personal, we have funds that run my money. Well, I've made a lot of money before I became president, and they invest my money, and I don't talk to them, I don't even speak to them.
