The Qatar Jet: Cost, Gift, and Trump's Defense
At 9:00 · chapter starts 8:40
A reporter asks Trump directly: what did it cost American taxpayers to renovate the Qatar-donated jet? Trump's answer — 'very little relative to what it would have cost if we did it a different way' — offers no actual figure. He explains the Emir of Qatar offered the jet as a 'contribution to the country,' that Boeing called it the best 747 ever built, and that it was brought to presidential security standard in about five months. Ben Meiselas tears into the answer, calling Trump a fraud and a con artist. He then widens the lens: while Trump shows off a billion-dollar foreign-donated plane, Americans are struggling with groceries, rent, gas, and healthcare — and Trump, Meiselas argues, thinks they're stupid.
