ABC News reports it may be the “most valuable gift EVER extended to the United States from a foreign government:”
The Qatari royal family is preparing to gift Trump a $400 million “palace in the sky” that he plans to use as Air Force One — until he transfers the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to his presidential library foundation.
It’s a security risk. It’s a corruption concern. It’s likely unconstitutional. And nothing is free.
But the cost is so much higher than private jets and tech: These “gifts” and “investments” come amidst news of record-breaking arms sales: including nearly $2 BILLION in advanced MQ-9B drones to Qatar.
If you’re thinking “someone should do something,” the good news is that someone is. The Senate has the authority to check Trump’s self-dealing weapon sales, and Senator Chris Murphy has vowed to force a vote to do exactly that. The thing is, even a Senator can’t work alone.
