"How are we supposed to ever see the U.S. under the Trump admin designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization if the U.S. is now going to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar to fly the U.S . President and his staff around on?" Laura Loomer wrote in a passionate X post on Sunday, May 11."This is something we were promised would happen during the first admin, but it never happened," she added.

Laura Loomer later slammed Donald Trump's budding diplomatic ties to several Middle Eastern nations."Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, and this week, @POTUS will be having meetings with Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Qatar funds HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood," Loomer stated.

Laura Loomer later noted that it could become challenging for Donald Trump to distance himself from various terrorist organizations if he accepts the plane."It's going to be hard for the admin to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and obliterate Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah when Qatar funds the Muslim Brotherhood, harbors HAMAS, and the US just accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar," Loomer shared.

"It's very disappointing. It's also worth noting that President Trump just signed an executive order on April 23, 2025, requiring U.S. educational institutions to disclose the source of their funding," Laura Loomer continued. "Guess where most of that foreign funding is coming from? Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The biggest lobby in D.C. is the Qatar lobby. We are watching an Islamic takeover of our country in real time."_
While the decision hasn't been finalized, Laura Loomer later declared her devotion to Donald Trump before stressing how unethical using the aircraft would be."I love President Trump," she wrote. "I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade."
"We cannot accept a $400 million 'gift' from jihadists in suits," Loomer added. "The Qataris fund the same Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah who have murdered U.S. Service Members. The same proxies that have worked with the Mexican cartels to get jihadists across our border."

Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar's media attaché, said in a statement that the transfer of an aircraft for "temporary use" as Air Force One is currently under consideration by Qatar's Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense."The matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made," Al-Ansari shared.
