The National Archive helps with the maintenance but the Reagan Library is mainly funded by an independent foundation, the Ronald Reagan Library Foundation, of which I am a donor.

Character is important. But that's not how it works. Look how long Pelosi had been in office. How long Newsom has been in office. How long obama was in office. Go check out aoc and walz for God's sake. creepy joe the pedo became president and was about as sick as can be both perversely and physically.

It's called liberal brainwashing cult activity that keeps it alive. 

I think it’s a question of values. There’s the constitutional, security & foreign influence issues which are totally separate. To me it’s something that should disqualify someone for office by itself. So for instance if there were factual findings about a president molesting minors - something more than online claims, some web of corporate entities, a lawsuit or mere close association with a convicted pedophile (as disgusting as that would be) - then I think such a person would & should be removed from office. But it goes way beyond that subject. I’m sure you think of yourself as a conservative, that’s a basic tenet of conservatism.

Donald Trump should turn the 747 over to the State Department. That's the proper way to handle gifts over $500. Trump needs to read the emoluments clause of the United States Constitution.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Man your head is going to spin when you see what Trump is going to get away with.

Not surprising. Trump never released his tax returns or divested his businesses and launched a bitcoin scam while in office. His supporters are 100% down with the grift.

Joe Biden Used Tax-Code Loophole Obama Tried to Plug

Former vice president structured his speaking, writing business in a way that cut his tax bill

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden used a tax loophole that the Obama administration tried and failed to close, substantially lowering his tax bill.

Mr. Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, routed their book and speech income through S corporations

100% agree with this. There isn't such a thing as a tax loophole.  But make no mistake Biden tried to close the biggest tax "loopholes" for normal folks. Build Back Better would have closed all the backdoor Roth contributions.  Thank God for Joe Manchin, Amen praise Jesus.

And thanks.  I'm just glad now everyone is all for using the tax code to the best of their ability.  Maybe now we won't have to hear anymore about the Trump tax returns.

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you both. However, for a guy that spent years lecturing us on the need for the rich to "pay their fair share", to use any means to lower his tax burden, seems a tad, hypocritical.

I think it may very well be legal. I think it’s a terrible look though. It’s one of those things that defines a Presidency and not in a good way. 100 years from now when people think about the Trump Presidency this plane may be one of the first things they think of.

He is being given a luxury jet by a foreign government that he will get to keep for his personal use after he leaves offfice. 

How can that be legal?

This would never be legal before Trump. It is an OBVIOUS violation of the emoluments clause, which used to mean something, like so many other things before this gasbag tore it all down.

Example #10,000 of things MAGA would lose their shlt over a Democrat doing, but give Trump an endless pass on.

Distinction without a difference. The way this is being done will allow him to use the plane as his own private jet once he leaves office. It has not been confirmed that he plans to do that, but if you believe he won't, you aren't paying attention.

Don Jr will be picking up hoars in this thing from Eastern Europe in 4 years of he can float the maintenance.

[Engorgeous George 2,173]

An updated Air Force One.  That is fine by me as the gift was disclosed.  An updated Air force One that then devolves to the President leaving us without the updated Air force One upon the president leaving office, that is improper.

 

Also, how careful do they have to be in review of all of the systems on that plane to make certain there is no espionage occuring, no avionics interruptions at critical times, no evesdropping?  When the Greeks present me with a beautiful multistory rendition of a horse I look inside before taking possession.

This plane is a stopgap due to Boeing being years late on the updated Air Force One Trump contracted from them in his FIRST term.  So, we should have that by the time this one is deeded to his library.
