It’s not but the GoP congress are just a bunch of Trump hangers on.

Very simple: there is no one to say "nope".

The American people allow it. They don't do anything about it. They could, but they don't.

What options does the average American person have to stand up against this specifically?
MegaButts · 23h ago
The same options the average citizen of any country has - protest followed by rebellion. America was founded by rebelling against the tyranny of unfair taxes.
Until Americans understand that this isn't going to end without violence (or a very real threat of violence, meaning people actually show up prepared to fight), they will continue to be increasingly oppressed. You may disagree with violence, but the oppressors see that as convenient.

Oh man. Do you mean like carrying mass protests to the Washington Mall? Organizing non-violent protests around the blocks of Federal buildings?
I guess we're all just helpless bystanders, vote and pray. No organzing resistance anymore like in the 1700s, 1800s or 1900s.

Wow who could have guessed this story from
@jonkarl
is a lie?
>Trump would then use the 13-year-old plane as the new Air Force One until shortly before the conclusion of his second Oval Office stint, at which point it would be transferred to his presidential library foundation no later than 1 January 2029.

A Xitter link that goes to the DailyMail as its source. By chance have any more reputable links to explain your side?
Edit: not only are the sources dubious, but they don't even refute the main controversy, which is that Qatar is giving the plane to the US/Trump Foundation for free.
Perhaps payment in karma in exchange for piercing the thin skin.

Or is congress just gonna sign off on this, since apparently that’s the loophole?

Here's the actual story of Trump renovating a plane that Qatar once owned, because Boeing has failed to deliver a new air force one https://x.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1921590297940701539
