The Democratic National Committee (DNC) trolled President Donald Trump by flying a banner that read Welcome to Qatar-a-Lago over Mar-a-Lago Wednesday.

Prior to the plane taking off, DNC Chair Ken Martin said that Trump is using the presidency to personally enrich himself while he bankrupts working families.
His corruption is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who are struggling to get by and put food on the table, Martin added.
Martin accused Trump of not hesitating to sell out Americas working families to the highest bidder, whether that be to billionaires at home or governments abroad.
He added: Today, the DNC is highlighting what foreign autocracies around the world already know: Trump has no loyalty to the American people, national security, or the Constitution his only allegiance is to his bank account and his billionaire buddies.

............Yet many of Trumps loyal supporters and members of his inner circle have also expressed concern over the gift.
Sen. Ted Cruz expressed concern over the Qatari jet.

Sen. Ted Cruz worried about the jet being used as the new Air Force One, noting how it could pose significant espionage and surveillance problems.
Im not a fan of Qatar, Cruz told CNBCs Squawk Box Tuesday. I think they have a really disturbing pattern of funding theocratic lunatics who want to murder us, funding Hamas and Hezbollah, and thats a real problem............................

Either that, or it just dawned on him that he's Canadian-born, with a Hispanic name, making him more likely to wind up in an El Salvador gulag than most. Could just be him trying to stuff the genie back into the bottle. Whatever it is, it's weak sauce.
