John,

You may have heard by now that Trump is accepting a $400 million plane
from Qatar — a “palace in the sky,” as many have called it.

Trump has received a lot of criticism since, and he’s responded to it by
saying he’d be “stupid” to turn down a kind “gesture” like this, as if
this is somehow equivalent to someone holding the door open for him at the
grocery store or offering him a ride home.

This isn’t just a simple gesture,
John. This is blatantly illegal.
The Constitution prohibits federal officials — including the President of
the United States — from accepting gifts from foreign governments without
Congressional approval.

The Trump administration has tried to defend this move by pointing to a
memo signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi declaring the acceptance of the
plane as legal. There are two problems with that: 1) Pam Bondi has
demonstrated time and time again that her loyalty lies with serving as
Donald Trump’s personal lawyer instead of defending the Constitution and
her oath of office, and 2) Bondi previously served as a lobbyist for… you
guessed it, Qatar.

Bondi may not see a problem with this (just as she doesn’t see a problem
with any of the corruption coming out of the White House), but the
Emoluments Clause was put in the Constitution for a very simple reason: To
make sure that every action taken by the President of the United States
was done on behalf of the American people and not influenced by
extravagant gifts from foreign governments.

This very well may be the largest gift ever received by any federal
official, but it doesn’t end here. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is
receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from Qatar for his investments.
His sons, Don Jr. and Eric, are also receiving a ton of money from Qatar
for an investment in a new golf course.

Meanwhile, air travel in the United States is plagued by collisions and
near misses, radar and power outages, high fares, and hidden fees. Prices
are way too high. But Trump isn’t focused on your air travel — he’s
focused on his. And apparently, Air Force One is just not gilded enough
for his taste.

John — not for you or your
family, but for himself. I’m working around the clock to fight back
against his corruption and hold him accountable. If you support this work,
please pitch in today.
