This claim is False the site that they used to get this information was a twitter post and that post has no evidence to support this claim is true. I then looked into this claim and I found multiple articles saying that this claim in not true just a rumor that had started. This was started by the now President Donald Trump wanted an Air Force Jet in stead of a regular jet. Then people started saying that Barack Obama accepted a Sky Palace as a gift from Qatar in 2015. This claim is just a rumor started because they just wanted to stir the pot about Obamas presidency. With this being said there is still no evidence towards this claim. When looking at the website MEAWW they said that they even called up Obamas Post-Presidency office saying that this is not true. When looking up this claim a lot of websites show up all saying that this is false information. Qatar did give Obama gifts the Jet was not one of them. So with this all being said this claim is very untrue and just a rumor that someone had started because Donald Trump got a Air Force jet from Qatar so they wanted it to look like Obama got the same sort of gift as well.
