What is all the ss about a gift of a jumbo [jet] from a foreign country. TWO previous presidents have received from foreign countries and nobody raised any concerns.

From elephants to inline skates, a history of foreign gifts to presidents

Qatar’s gift of a jet to Trump is raising legal questions, but state gifts to presidents have long been used to celebrate international friendships and share a laugh.

A headline in WP: Vance meets with pope as Francis’s Easter message decries ‘logic of fear’.

Recollection from the past: "It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr Gandhi, [...]t, striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, [...], to parley on equal terms with the representative of the kingemperor."

Headline: "Victims ‘shocked’ after Biden grants clemency to ‘kids-for-cash’ judge and $54 million embezzler. "

More & more it looks like he wants to burn down the house on the way out. Please stop before there is nothing to salvage of your legacy. Pathetic

I feel like I am watching "The Producers" being played out in real life. Everyday in every rally he says something that would normally drive away supporters, only to see his numbers continue to rise.
