Fox Host Criticizes Trump for Accepting Plane from Qatari Royals: ‘It’s Wrong’

President Donald Trump received criticism from an unlikely source on Wednesday over his decision to accept a $400 million jet from the Qatari royal family. Trump said it will be used as the next Air Force One and that he will retain the plane after leaving office as part of his presidential library.

The gift raises obvious ethical concerns, which are turbocharged by the fact that the Trump Organization does business with Qatar, including a pending $5.5 billion golf resort in the country. Trump, who visited the Gulf state on Wednesday as part of a Middle East trip that includes stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has brushed aside the concerns, stating, “My attitude is, why wouldn’t I accept a gift?”

On Wednesday’s edition of The Five, guest co-host Kennedy called the president’s decision “wrong.”

“I don’t think the plane is that great of an idea to accept because I think that if we are forcing Democrats and the Biden family, which was famous for decades [for] grift, if we are holding them to account, then I think it’s a political mistake to be doing something that could be construed as the same thing,” she said.

“You’ve got to act better than your predecessor,” co-host Greg Gutfeld chimed in.

“Yeah, and you have to be able to employ the political golden rule, which is, if it’s wrong for them, it’s wrong for us,” Kennedy responded. “And why distract from the phenomenal wins that have happened over the last 10 days?”

The specifics of Trump’s Middle East policy goals remain murky.

“There is no real foreign policy agenda or aim that has been laid out for this trip that I’m aware of,” Maggie Haberman said as Trump was in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. “[I]n terms of the U.S. and its relationships with the region, they haven’t really articulated a longer arc.”
