Trump isn't even trying to hide the fact that he has turned on the "International Bribes Now Accepted" sign at the White House.
In a BRAZEN bit of bribery and corruption, Trump has agreed to take a $400 million plane gift from the royal family of Qatar. The plane is known as a 'flying palace' and is being described as a gift to Trump, NOT to the United States.
Even though the plane is a gift to Trump, Trump plans on using taxpayer dollars via the Air Force to upgrade the plane to Air Force One standards (and I WOULD PRAY sweep the damn thing for listening devices and cameras). Then, right before he leaves office, the plane would be transferred to his Presidential Library for him you use privately. Trump is getting a sports car plane and having the taxpayers pay for the bulletproof glass and the super-duper, limited edition detailing package.
Coincidentally, Trump lawyers have a prepared release stating it's not a conflict of interest to receive the plane because no stated benefit to Qatar was guaranteed. This LAUGHABLE argument has already been endorsed by the worst Attorney General in US history, Pam Bondi.
This plane would be the most expensive gift to a US President in history. And I guarantee that when Qatar wants something, Trump will quickly pick up their call.
The Constitution does specifically state that any gift to the President MUST be approved by Congress, but considering how little this Administration thinks the Constitution applies to them, and Congressional Republicans obediently forgoing their obligation to ensure their true God Trump is happy, everyone involved will likely just shrug their shoulders and let it happen, as they always do with Trump.
