"Trump is accepting a 747-8 'flying palace' jumbo jet from Qatar as a gift. ABC: 'The Trump admin is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar - a gift that is to be available for use by President Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.'”

“The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term. Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as ‘a flying palace,’ while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.”

"CREW: 'During the 4 years that Trump serves his 2nd term, real estate developers will be working on, planning, building and opening a total of 20 Trump-branded projects around the globe. In 9 foreign countries, these developers will seek subcontractors, buyers and permits from the govt. The developments that are underway—being planned, constructed, sold and delivered to buyers—will nearly triple the number of Trump properties operating abroad.'”

"The President of the United States is quite literally selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Donald Trump. What exactly is Qatar buying with this $400 million 'gift'?"

Trump caught in major corruption scheme

Even for Trump, the overt corruption is staggering.

"Access? Influence? Favorable trade terms? Military protection? We don't know, and that's precisely the problem. When foreign governments can simply purchase the president's favor with luxury gifts, American interests take a backseat to the president's personal enrichment."

"The arrangement is all the more corrupt because the US Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly co-authored a memo concluding that the transaction is permissible under US law and the Constitution."

"Although gift exchanges are common between heads of state, the Constitution prohibits federal officials from receiving personal gifts from foreign heads of state without the consent of Congress."

@wdlindsy Exactly one of the problems….WHAT CONGRESS?!?

@leswarden @wdlindsy

That would be MAGA Republicans in Congress.

They control all of the levers of oversight and impeachment.

@joeinwynnewood @wdlindsy Oh I would say at this point it’s not just the MAGAts, but the entire GOP has jumped in bed with #DevilDon. Basically there IS NO CONGRESS OVERSIGHT OF ANY KIND!

@leswarden @wdlindsy

Absent actions that say otherwise, they're all MAGA now.
