"Qatar gives Trump a billion-dollar plane and signs a deal with Trump for a $5.5 BILLION Trump golf beach resort in their country... and VOILA! Qatar now gets a literal air force base INSIDE our country. BEYOND CORRUPT! It's ALWAYS Trump first..." #1,568
Trump’s Biggest Ally Turns on Him Over Shocking Move

Far-right influencer and
informal Trump adviser Laura Loomer blasted the Trump administration on Friday for
gifting Qatar an air force base in Idaho.
“Does this mean the call to prayer will be broadcasted in Idaho 5 times a day?” she
asked sarcastically on X.
“Do we need to pay for the Arabic lessons, or will those be funded by the Emir? PS: Do we need to Chop our c---s off too to appease Mohammed while we walk around in black trash bags? Asking for the women of America!”

The administration’s stunning gift to Qatar of an air force base in Idaho looked to many like a textbook quid pro quo. Qatar
gifted Trump, 79, a Boeing 747 in May. The previous month, the Trump Organization
bought a golf course in Qatar.
While most onlookers have slammed the air base gift as a sign of corruption, Loomer, 32, was angry that Trump had gifted American land to “funders of Islamic terrorism.”
“If the GOP continues to Islamify our country and continues to allow funders of Islamic terrorism from Qatar to come into our country when they have a documented history of funding Islamic terror, I am not voting in 2026 and won’t be able to encourage others to vote either,” she
posted on X.
“If the GOP is going to allow Muslims to have military bases on US soil when they know these Qataris are funding HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood, then voting in 2026 is a waste of time.”
Qatar has provided billions of dollars in financial support to Hamas, according to
Deutsche Welle. In 2017, during his first term, Trump said Qatar “
funds Islamic terrorism,” though apparently his view of the country has improved.
Speaking to Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani at the Pentagon on Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “It’s just another example of our partnership, and I hope you know, your Excellency, that you can count on us.”
Loomer is the second MAGA darling to speak out against Trump and the Republicans in recent days. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has similarly
broken with Republicans in recent weeks over the government shutdown and the release of the Epstein files (Loomer has
slammed MTG for supporting the release of the files). Greene has yet to comment on the air force base.
