Hillary Clinton Rips Trump Over Qatar Plane, Gets Slapped With Reminder of the Gifts She Accepted

Death, taxes, and Hillary Clinton being a raging hypocrite - all things that are a certainty in life.

Clinton opted to weigh in on the Qatar plane controversy currently circulating in the media as if it were the smoking gun that would finally bring down Donald Trump's presidency. Trump, you see, agreed to accept a plane gifted by Qatar for use as a temporary Air Force One until the new Boeing models arrive.

The jet has been described as a "palace in the sky." It's pretty sweet, and thus very expensive. And Trump snatched it up for the low, low cost of ... nothing.

On its face, it is a breathtaking money-saving move on Trump's part, an argument he has consistently made in his defense while Democrats hound him on the matter.

“Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Hillary couldn't help herself and had to join in by making her thoughts known on X.

"No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return," she wrote. "Be serious."

Dems' Effort to Troll Trump Over Qatar Plane Shows Just How Unserious They Are

Clinton, ever the grizzled political veteran, had to know that critics' responses were going to come flying in fast and furious, even with the comments on her posts being turned off.

And they most certainly did, many of which involved gentle reminders that Clinton was embroiled in countless pay-to-play donation controversies while serving as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Not to mention, while preparing to run for President.

One such gift came from - you guessed it - Qatar.

Reuters reported on a $1 million donation sent in 2011 by Qatari officials to the Clinton Foundation in honor of her husband's birthday. The Foundation was forced to confirm that it received the gift from Qatar "without informing the State Department," while Clinton was Secretary of State, after hacked emails published by Wikileaks years later revealed they wanted to meet Bill in person to hand him the check.

According to the same report, the Qatari government had donated up to $5 million to the foundation over the years, which were significant gifts to a former and, what many thought at the time, future President.

And it didn't stop with Qatar.

Beyond accepting the Qatar gift during her tenure with Obama's State Department, Clinton lifted the foundation's self-imposed ban on accepting foreign government donations as she ramped up to run for President in 2016.

They collected significant contributions from foreign governments like Saudi Arabia ($14.5 million), along with Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Oman, all dropping between $1 and $5 million.

"All, of course, are Middle Eastern countries with poor human rights records," CNN reported at the time. "And poor records when it comes to women's rights."

Excellent point, @HillaryClinton. No one knows this better than you.

To use a random example in support of your assertion, let's look at foreign government contributions to the Clinton Foundation while you held positions of influence in government vs. contributions after you… https://t.co/iXP3KCH2lW pic.twitter.com/3kD8G5WdqV

Further emails revealed that the king of Morocco agreed to host a Clinton Global Initiative summit and give $12 million if and only if Hillary attended the meeting in person in May 2015.

The hypocrisy involved in her critique today is spellbinding.

Or, as WorldStrat President Jim Hanson wrote on X, "The Clinton Foundation is the Gold, Platinum, [and] Diamond standard for buying and selling influence."

"Just shoosh."
