Poor Trump: you can't even accept a luxury jet from Qatar without being called corrupt these days | Marina Hyde

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : This, of course, is because the most useful thing Trump was ever gifted, possibly by a fairy at his christening, is the 21st century's greatest superpower.
57% : Again, because people can't see a nice gesture from an expansionist autocrat without having to read something deep into it that simply isn't there ... there has been a certain amount of consternation that Trump would accept a portrait from Putin.
50% : Trump calls this entire deal with a foreign government "very transparent" - and I think we can probably agree on that.
43% : For many, it's becoming hard not to think that Trump is being played by his gifters.
38% : Certainly, it wasn't long before an oil rendering of Trump punching the air after the assassination attempt on him last July was winging its way from Moscow to the United States.
36% : In many ways the most opaque thing about it is the notion that Trump is even planning a presidential library.
36% : Literally the only reason you wouldn't be able to wheel a giant wooden horse straight through the security gates of the White House without even having to scan it is that Trump only likes elaborate repro gilt, and would find this particular equine aesthetic too hideously rough-hewn and low-key.
34% : Alas, now Trump is back in office, there are six news cycles/shit-floodings of the zone per day, meaning it is incredibly easy to forget that on the day when it emerged that his defence secretary had discussed operational details of a bombing raid in Yemen in a group chat, then added some journalist rando to it, we also learned about 20 other nutty things.
25% : The weird thing about the luxury jumbo jet is that it isn't even the most eye-catching present to Trump we've got a look at in the past month alone.
23% : And so it is that Donald Trump is STUNNED that anyone could be so dumb as to not think he should accept the offer of a state-of-the-art griftliner from the Qatari royal family.
