"Not to worry. Attorney General Pam Bondi—once a registered lobbyist for Qatar, as it happens—has concluded that the transaction is permissible under U.S. law and the Constitution." Of course!

in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything
REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?
TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

Nothing fishy here.
So let me get this straight.
On April 30th Trump announced a new $5.5 BILLION beachside golf course in Qatar.
Then 11 days later reports on Sunday reveal that Trump'll likely accept a $400M jet as a "gift" from Qatar.
Trump's conflicts of interest are fawking next level! Emoluments Clause much?
