Think even Elvis Presley’s museum has one too.

If the plane is used for private purposes, trump would have to purchase it at fair market value. Same applied to the Obamas when Saudis gave them (really the USA) over a million in jewels.

What does Qatar get, a hundred years or more of publicly with “Gift from Qatar to America.” Sort of like the Statue of Liberty. These countries will pay to be part of Western world. Kind of like an 8 year I knew that rolled 50-cent pieces down the street hoping to attract kids as friends because no one liked him. (No it wasn’t trump.)

Of course, trump will siphon off a bit. On the other hand, Boeing and the new employees needed to produce 160 large planes, will be happy as well as the businesses/people that live off those employees.

trump will sell this as a huge “deal,” and his approval ratings will likely climb a bit among the MFers that supported him.

I despise the MFer, but he’s gonna pull this one out too by simply saying a few words, “I would have been a fool not to take the gift/deal.” And our criticism will once again give him a little victory.

But it’s highly likely I’m wrong.

And he’ll do something tomorrow that is worth severe criticism.
