Batya Ungar-Sargon: The Qatar Gift Is a Bribe But I Don’t Think Trump Would Do Anything in Exchange for It

EXCERPT:

UNGAR-SARGON: "I don‘t like the plane. I disagree with you. I think it‘s a big deal. I don‘t think there‘s such a thing as a $400 million gift. It‘s a bribe. I don‘t think Donald Trump would do anything in exchange for it, but the Qataris certainly think they will get something out of it. I can admit that. Can you all admit that what he just accomplished in Qatar and in Saudi Arabia, attracting $2 trillion of investment into this country, is a huge deal, and that what he accomplished in his speech, laying out a new world order based on peace through commerce and peace through strength, is a huge deal, that these are gifts to the United States, the likes of which it‘s very hard to imagine anybody else being able to do? Can we all, like, create a consensus here that the plane is bad and the trip has been amazing for the United States?"
