rewrite this title Rahm Emanuel Sparks Heated Debate After Criticizing Trump’s Luxury Aircraft Deal | Celebrity Insider

When Rahm Emanuel, the former Obama Chief of Staff and Mayor of Chicago, gave his viewpoint on Donald Trump allegedly accepting from Qatar a $400 million luxury aircraft, the political circus was set ablaze for the second time. It went viral with critics coming from all directions-they questioned Emanuel’s credibility, while others defended him.

The former blunt Tsar of Chicago essentially asked, during one of his excursions, how it looked for Trump to accept such an extravagant gift while trying to sell himself as a populist leader. But the internet had something else to say, really from the right end of it. One reply after another started pouring in accusing him of being hypocritical on this matter since he had his days in Chicago and during the Obama administration.

“Who would listen to this man? What did he do for Chicago? What did he do in the Obama administration? Nothing,” said Bill White, hurting some feelings with the simple yet brutal question. The JOTUS responded by claiming Trump had signed executive orders on drug prices, which Biden immediately wiped away and then proceeded to claim credit. It was then alleged receipts were posted, but verifying that would be a deep fact-check.

Then came the slave to comparables-“Joe_S_Pure” posted a pic of a $17 million helicopter supposedly gifted to Bill Clinton by Saudi Arabia followed by, “Not one single Democrat had anything to say.” Classic whataboutism, but really, politics is just one loin arena of deflections.

Things went darker with Quin4Trump spinning an extremely bizarre story involving bathhouses, Satanic cabals, and forced testimonies. It was… too much. At the same time, others, like John 3:16-17, would paint a picture of “real America” versus the political elites, stating, “Over 70 million of us voted for Donald Trump and his agenda to make America great.”

Those who sympathize with Emanuel are rare, but they’re there: I’mthatgirl praised Emanuel: “We need a party that is focused on ‘Groceries not Greenland’.” A moment of solidarity in an otherwise war-torn online battleground.

There were those whose attacks against Emanuel did not stop at sheer policy grounds. Some took it to a more personal direction, dragging his record as Mayor of Chicago for the rising crime rates and corruption scandals in the city. One user said, “You helped to destroy the once beautiful city of Chicago.” Another referred to him as “excrement.” Politics.

With all that is going on, The View, never shy to controversy, has once more stirred audiences. If you loved him or hated him, one thing is for sure: this man really gets people talking. There might be nothing else in today’s political climate both can agree upon.

That said, the plane-the sky’s the limit! And if you are true to history, maybe that won’t be the last luxury item to cause turmoil here in Washington. Maybe next time they’ll just stick to fruit baskets.
