Don't call it a gift. It is a $400 million BRIBE!

As a Democrat, I am done taking a pillow to a gunfight with these MAGA Republicans. Trump accepting the $400 million dollar jet from Qatar (which as we know is an Emoluments clause violation), with its solid gold plated interior, and which he will bring with him for his own personal use after leaving the White House, is nothing more than a bribe. Don't call it a gift. It is a bribe. Pure and simple. For all the rubes who voted for him to lower prices on day one, instead they get to watch him fly around in a 400 million dollar bribe. What are the Qataris getting for this Bribe? Only Trump knows.
