Overview
- Trump posted a captionless image of himself with a model jet on the Resolute Desk, and the White House account shared the same photo.
- The model features 'America First' on the fuselage and '250' on the tail, which appears to reference the upcoming U.S. semiquincentennial.
- The post was part of a high-volume Truth Social burst the day after Christmas, with posts at times averaging every two minutes.
- Replies questioned whether the model alluded to the $400 million Boeing 747 Trump accepted from Qatar, a donation DOJ and White House lawyers deemed legally permissible.
- The administration has floated 250th-anniversary events including a UFC card on the South Lawn and a youth competition called the Patriot Games, following a combative Christmas Day post about Democrats and Jeffrey Epstein.
