"One thing almost all of America is against is bribery. And Trump is taking bigger and bigger bribes."

There's one thing all of America hates — and Trump can't stop doing it

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-bribe-plane/

Trump is overplaying his hand.

Not just by usurping the powers of Congress and ignoring Supreme Court rulings. Not just abducting people who are legally in the United States but have put their name to opinion pieces Trump doesn’t like and trucking them off to “detention” facilities. Not just using the Justice Department for personal vengeance. Not just unilaterally deciding how much tariff tax American consumers will have to pay on almost everything they buy.

Polls show all these are tanking Trump’s popularity.

But one thing almost all Americans are firmly against — even many loyal Trumpers — is bribery. And Trump is taking bigger and bigger bribes.

1. A RWNJ radio talk show host tried to justify

TSF accepting the jet on two fronts:

1. It secured the release of the last Israeli-American hostage from Hamas, and

2. In the Arab world, if you refuse a gift, it’s a great insult.

4. And on #2, in the Arab world, one also cannot question the motivation behind the gift

I just can't wrap my head around an "altruistic gift" from the Arab world, with zero ulterior motives.

Also, "respect" is a two way street.

A "greatly insulted" Arab probably wouldn't understand the concept of not accepting a "gift" because it is in direct opposition to the laws that govern our country. You cannot "give" a president a $400 million plane.

America's going to be "greatly insulted" if Trump accepts it.

Among the demands, Roth recalls, was Trump's signature "abundance of gold" as well as marble.

"Even the seat buckles received a 24-carat coating," Forbes reported. Trump also asked for a "big TV, with a great sound system, to watch movies." He also reportedly loved the idea of having his Trump family crest stitched into the headrests, the report continued.

But one request Roth found "unusual."

"An area in the galley for Oreos,” Roth recalled to Forbes while laughing. “I said to him, ‘Mr. Trump, really?’ He goes, ‘I love Oreos.’”
