An ex-GOP strategist has a wild and vivid plan for one of the most controversial foreign gifts that Trump has accepted.
Steve Schmidt said on his podcast on Wednesday that he has “fantasies” about calling White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on the eve of Trump’s departure from the Oval Office in 2029. He imagined explaining to her what the U.S. military is going to do with the $400 million luxury jet Trump accepted from Qatar.
“Wherever you’re taking the jet, it’s best you be on the ground by noon at the moment of transition,” Schmidt imagines telling Wiles. “Because if you’re in the air, that jet is returning to Joint Base Andrews,” outside of Washington, D.C.
“It lands, you can walk off the tarmac to the gate and try to find an Uber,” Schmidt said, continuing his fantasy. “That Jet is going to be taken, must be taken, seized by the U.S. military, and no f— around with it.”
He said he’d like to see the U.S. military “environmentally remediate” the Qatari jet, then “put on a barge and by sometime the next day on the 21st [of January, 2029], there needs to be video of it being dumped into the Atlantic Ocean off of Mar-a-Lago.”
At the bottom of the ocean, the jet can find new life as “an artificial reef” and a “national marine park,” Schmidt suggested. He then encouraged Trump to use the sunken jet to “moor a low-income floating dive center there for all the Black kids in West Palm Beach to come and learn water sports.”
Schmidt said that when the press asks what happened to the plane, the new administration can tell them, “It’s in the ocean, and it’s never coming back.”
