‘Two Dolls Donnie’ is getting a $400 million ‘flying palace’ for Christmas

Donald Trump thinks your 11-year-old beautiful baby girl can get by with two dolls this Christmas, while he’s busy accepting a $400 million gift – a gift, not a bribe! – from the royal family of Qatar.

But her emails, the price of eggs, let’s go Brandon – amirite, MAGA?

ABC News broke the news on Sunday. The $400 million gift is a “flying palace” that Trump will be able to use in place of Air Force One, before he has the U.S. government officially transfer ownership of the luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to his presidential library foundation before his term in office ends in 2029.

Well, isn’t that special?

Trump had the White House counsel’s office and the Department of Justice draft a memo concluding that it’s “legally permissible” to accept the gift because the gift is “not conditioned on any official act.”

Now, let’s imagine that, say, Joe Biden was getting a gift of a $400 million luxury plane from, oh, let’s say, Xi Jinping, or that Barack Obama was getting a gift of a similar $400 million luxury plane from, oh, for sh*ts and giggles, the King of the Oompa-Loompas.

Republicans spent how many years and how many tens of millions of dollars investigating the Clintons over scrub brush in an Arkansas town with 1,300 residents?

But now, the royal family of Qatar giving Trump a $400 million “flying palace” is kosher.

Also kosher: your kid can make do this Christmas with two dolls.

Suckers.
