There’s something about Hill Republicans and media conservatives going after President Trump for accepting a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar that just catches your attention. They seem to be really fired up about it, with some stammering and others shouting their disapproval. But hey, Trump isn’t the only one in hot water here, so hold your horses for a minute.
Ben Shapiro, the founder of Daily Wire, didn’t mince words when he called the deal “skeezy.” He thinks the gift isn’t some kind gesture from Qatar out of the goodness of their hearts. According to Shapiro, it’s more like a way for them to influence whoever can help whitewash their image or cover up their shady terrorist dealings on a global scale. Ouch.
The National Review, in an editorial titled “Poison Plane,” raised some serious concerns about the security risks of the jet. They’re worried about all the places where listening devices could be hidden in such a massive aircraft. And let’s not forget the ethical concerns either. Qatar, the gift-giver, has ties to funding anti-American propaganda and terrorist groups like Hamas. Not exactly the kind of buddy you want to owe a favor to, right?
Now, onto the juicy stuff about the former president, Joe Biden. A new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson is making waves with some shocking revelations about Biden’s declining health. Apparently, his mental sharpness took a nosedive after that disastrous debate with Trump. And get this – his aides were so worried about his physical deterioration that they actually discussed the possibility of him needing a wheelchair if he got re-elected. Can you imagine an 81-year-old president rolling around in a wheelchair? Not a pretty picture.
The book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” spills the beans on how the White House tried to hide Biden’s health issues during his re-election bid against Trump. It paints a grim picture of a president struggling to keep up appearances while his team scrambled to keep his declining health under wraps. Sounds like a real nail-biter, doesn’t it?
And let’s not forget the drama with George Clooney, who raised a boatload of cash for Biden only to have the president not even recognize him at a fundraiser. Awkward much? Clooney ended up writing an op-ed in the New York Times urging Biden to step down. Talk about a Hollywood twist in this political saga.
So, while Trump is catching flak for accepting that swanky jet, Biden is facing his own set of challenges with his health and political career. It’s a wild ride in the world of politics, folks. Who knows what twists and turns lie ahead for these two presidents and their tumultuous journeys in the public eye. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the political drama never fails to surprise.
