“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
— Article 1, Section 9, United States Constitution
Dear Republicans: No, the President cannot accept flying palaces from foreign princes.
The national security and ethical catastrophe is obvious.
Even more insulting to our intelligence:
Trump intends to take personal possession (via his Presidential “foundation”) of this Qatari jet once he’s out of office (assuming he ever leaves willingly).
***
I was asked yesterday by a well-informed person whether there were any “red lines” Trump might cross that would cause Republicans in Congress to turn against him.
I told him all evidence indicates the answer is “No.”
Brazenly defying Federal judges? No.
Selling Presidential access to memecoin “investors” while his family rakes in billions from overseas? No.
ACCEPTING A $400 MILLION LUXURY 747-800 FROM A FOREIGN PRINCE, SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY TO EQUIP IT, AND THEN TAKING IT POST-PRESIDENCY FOR HIS PERSONAL USE!?!?!? No.
***
No, Republicans in Congress will not oppose this President no matter what “red lines” he crosses.
Please read carefully: they will only stand up to Trump if they believe their seats and power are at risk.
And the surest way to get there is for Democrats to win in 2026 — and win in a landslide.
***
That means holding this Senate seat in Georgia, where I’m the only Democratic Senator running for re-election in a state Trump won.
It means winning BIG.
VICTORY is the only way out of this total absurdity.
So, please: contribute $5 to my campaign today.
Thank you,
