Good analysis. If, as reports indicate, the gifted plane would go to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump's presidency, with Trump allowed to use it, this would appear to be a gift to Trump. His library is his property in a practical if not a legal sense. The gift to the library, and even more so private citizen Trump's right to use it, is like the residuary clause in a will, with Trump its beneficiary. It's just a bad deal all around. Jim Dueholm

I don’t like the optics, but I am very bored by this proposal.

Wait until the NYT finishes its five-part series about it.

Why? Because he's Trump. I had hoped that a Republican administration might rebuke or even punish Qatar. DeSantis probably would have. A Rubio or Haley definitely would have. Instead we go from an administration that delusionally considers Qatar an ally to an administration that is accepting a 400 million dollar plane.
