Chris Murphy says Trump strategically visited Gulf states āwilling to pay him offā as backlash rises against luxury offer
Donald Trumpās acceptance of a $400m Boeing jet from Qatar is the ādefinition of corruptionā, a leading Democrat said on Sunday, as several senior Republicans joined in a bipartisan fusillade of criticism and concern over the luxury gift.
Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator for Connecticut, condemned the āflying griftā on NBCās Meet the Press as he assailed the presidentās trip to several Gulf states this week that included a stop in Qatar.
āWhy did he choose these three countries for his first major foreign trip? Itās not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world,ā he said of Trumpās visit to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Rejecting it is not on the table. Are you people in the comments fucking stupid??? Do any of you live here on planet earth??? Heās taking it. Itās done. He doesnāt give a fuck about if it looks like a bribe. He will brag it was a bribe. All we can hope for is to save the estimated 1 billion itās going to cost to gut it and rebuild it to af1 standards. So then heāll have a 1.4 billion dollar plane when he leaves office paid for by tax payer money.
What is public pressure and congressional pressure?
Again I ask if anyone is paying attention or even live on earth.
Public pressure: 0
Congressional pressure: 0
For literally every single crazy thing he has done so far. My god. Itās like yall just live in candy land.
