Yeah, and Statue of Liberty remained in ownership of the country, no one "moved it" to "personal library" for personal use, what Trump is planning to do with the jet. Are they really that stupid or think people are that stupid?

Exactly! The French gave us (The American people) the statue of Liberty. They didn't give it to one specific person, even if the then-current president was the one who accepted it.
