Dear god, this is just embarrassing. The corruption knows no bounds.
Also, let's not forget that Qatar bankrolls HAMAS.
In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration 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 Donald 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, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.
The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.
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.

If it is not an emolument, don't do up the interior in gold.
If it is an emolument, it is for the benefit of one person and it will be done up in gold.
They use the word in the article, but in stenographic fashion.

(1,320 posts)What is about this hateful, ignorant, conceited thug that so many people want to bow and kiss the ring on his stubby little hand? Are there really that many evil people in the world? is God giving us what we deserve? Has Karma deserted us? Is the universe unfolding as it shouldn't? Do we all have to reap what we didn't sow?
