‘Crooks never follow the rules’: Donald Trump wants America to be ’embarrassed’ of questioning his moral degradation

When the election results came out in 2024, a bitter fact had to be digested – enough of America had been brainwashed to the point that they readily believed Donald Trump’s barefaced lies and transparent “truths.” And those who didn’t or the ones who have learn the reality the hard way? The U.S. president demands that they be ashamed of their inability to be blind to his growing corruption.

We all know by now the upcoming addition to Trump’s gallery of riches. While he demands the middle class and those below that income line make do with the spike in prices of everyday things and the hit the economy is trying to survive thanks to the POTUS’ policies, he is practically jumping in his seat to accept a $400 million Boeing jet from Qatar’s royal family.

So, the official story, for the sake of the brainwashed MAGA, is that the jet will be used as the new Air Force One. But the minute Trump’s tenure ends, it will be transferred to the Trump presidential library. Um, that’s not a generous gift, it’s a bribe. And apparently, when a reporter just sought some clarification from the president – something a majority of Americans are demanding – he got reprimanded for his justified queries.

If today, the general public of America asks this very question, will Trump try to blow them off as crassly as he did the reporter?

Well, is he really violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution? Let’s see. 

So, this clause is in Article I, Section 9, and states “No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept … any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Well, since the Congress hasn’t approved it, Trump is in direct violation of the clause since he will be accepting a “gift” from the Qatari Royal family, which is effectively the government of Qatar, and that makes them a “foreign state.” Of course, the implications of accepting an offering worth millions from a foreign government with geopolitical stakes in U.S. policy will be politically damaging, suggesting foreign influence or favoritism.

But does Trump care that his greed and corruption are out on display? NOPE.

And technically, and on every other front, running and representing a nation is widely different from playing golf. But even the Sam Snead saying that Trump has thrown at people has divided opinion and changes status from “allowed” to “cheating” when the type of golf you are playing is shifted. Of course, Trump would swear by a saying whose setting decides if it’s a moral dilemma or not.

But even though the razor focus of the nation on him hasn’t changed Trump’s stance on the subject of this gift, it appears to have affected Qatar’s decision to give the jet in the first place. Qatari officials told Politico that the deal is yet to be finalized and reports of them giving the jet to Trump are “inaccurate” since the decision is “under consideration between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense.”

Oops, did Trump just lose the airborne palace of his dreams?
