Hillary Clinton Eats Crow After Failed Trump Takedown

Hillary Clinton tried to takedown President Donald Trump receiving a plane gifted to him amid his Saudi trip. Keep in mind that Boeing secured a historic deal shortly after and things seemed to be going in a great direction for international affairs.

However, numerous Democrats, including Clinton, were speaking out against it – but that came to a halt when it was revealed that Hillary Clinton did something similar herself. The Clinton Foundation confirmed taking a $1,000,000 gift from Qatar during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.

Democrats have attempted to claim the plane was offered to President Trump personally, which is not the case. “So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday. (Source)

In 2016, the Clinton Foundation acknowledged receiving a $1 million donation from the government of Qatar in 2011, during Hillary Clinton’s service as U.S. Secretary of State. The contribution was intended to commemorate former President Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday. However, the foundation did not inform the State Department about this donation, despite an ethics agreement requiring disclosure of new or significantly increased foreign government contributions during Hillary Clinton’s tenure.

The ethics agreement, established when Hillary Clinton assumed her role in 2009, aimed to prevent potential conflicts of interest by mandating the foundation to notify the State Department of any substantial foreign donations. The foundation contended that the Qatari donation did not constitute a “material increase” in support and thus did not necessitate disclosure.

The revelation of this donation came to light through hacked emails from John Podesta, then-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, which were published by WikiLeaks. These emails indicated that Qatari officials had requested a meeting with Bill Clinton in 2012 to present the $1 million check, according to reports.

The incident sparked discussions about the transparency of the Clinton Foundation’s foreign donations and the potential implications for U.S. foreign policy. Critics argued that undisclosed foreign contributions could lead to perceived or actual conflicts of interest, while supporters emphasized the foundation’s philanthropic work and its commitment to global health and development initiatives.

Following these events, the Clinton Foundation announced that it would cease accepting foreign government donations if Hillary Clinton were elected president, aiming to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

The $1 million donation from Qatar remains a focal point in discussions about the intersection of philanthropy, politics, and foreign influence in the United States.
