The reported plan for Donald Trump to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari royal family is not just unethical—it’s blatant corruption. No legal loophole or bureaucratic sleight of hand can hide the truth: this is a foreign bribe dressed up as a gift. It violates the Emoluments Clause and spits in the face of every principle of public service. The excuse that the Department of Defense will “receive” it first is a disgraceful sham. The American presidency is not for sale—yet here we are, watching the degradation of our democracy for the benefit of one man’s ego and greed. This isn’t just unethical—it’s dangerous. It undermines our national security, invites foreign influence, and sets a catastrophic precedent. I demand immediate investigation, accountability, and a full-stop to this insult to our Constitution.
