So Qatar gave Donald Trump a "free airplane."
It will belong to him--although it may be called "Air Force One" it will not pass on to his successor--it will somehow become part of his "presidential library." (Libraries really are spiffing up.)
It will first go to Texas where a top secret facility will strip it down to the joists and then rebuild it at a cost of...well, that's classified--the failing New York Times says $934 million--but apparently the money will come out of a government allotment meant for upgrading and repairing and maintaining nuclear missile silos--what could be more important than doing that work? Well, getting Mr. Trump an airplane for his private use.
And this is not a bribe from the Qatar government to Mr. Trump, you understand because, well, nothing Mr. Trump does while he is in the office of the President can be illegal or unethical or bribery because the Supreme Court Mr. Trump appointed says so. So Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett think it's just fine for Mr. Trump to take a bribe, oh, sorry, not a bribe, a gift which helps him conduct the business of his office, which is enriching himself, and setting up his post White House career.
This America, man.
