In the opening of the segment, Stewart showcased a series of news videos capturing Trump’s conversation with Qatari royals. The clips highlighted that the jet, valued at around $400 million, would be used by the President during his term and then transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation shortly before he leaves office.

Is it true that Qatar is giving us a plane for Trump to keep? That’s like the opposite of Oprah, he said jokingly. ‘I get a jet…and that’s it! I get a jet…for my library!’ But why does his library need a jet? What kind of presidential library requires air travel? It seems like Europe is so eager to learn about Trump that they need a book by morning, and the only way they can get it is through Qatar’s luxurious jet.

Another video segment followed, detailing the features of the jet, such as “an expansive sky-high master suite, luxurious living spaces, and multiple private workspaces.

Stewart remarked, “Oh, that’s a plane from Qatar! We can rely on them. They don’t raise any red flags like Canada does.

Later on, Stewart presented a clip where he said, “People often view Qatar as an American friend, yet it’s also allied with Iran, China, and even Hamas.

Later on, the late-night commentator played a video where Trump spoke about receiving the jet as a gift. In this recording, the President expressed gratitude for the free plane and mentioned that he could have declined it, perhaps asking to pay for it instead, or offering a large sum of money like $1 billion or $400 million. However, he chose to say thank you instead.

Stewart clarified, “It’s not a complimentary plane,” he said. “That’s the crux of the matter. You understand the saying ‘Nothing in life is free?’ It refers to being cautious when someone offers you something seemingly for nothing. But consider now that this ‘something’ isn’t just a sandwich, it’s a sandwich with an engine, multiple bathrooms, and the ability to finance conflicts!
