Let’s dig into the swamp of Trump’s administration and its cozy ties to Qatar’s deep pockets. From lobbyists to nominees, the stench of foreign influence is hard to ignore.
Pam Bondi: Attorney General, was Qatar’s hired gun, raking in $115K A MONTH in 2020 to lobby for the regime. She just greenlit a shady deal for Qatar to “gift” a $400M Boeing jet as Air Force One. Justice for sale? You tell me.
Lee Zeldin, tapped for EPA, got cozy with a Qatari royal’s firm, Heritage Advisors. He claims he didn’t lobby, but why hide the cash flow, Lee? Qatar’s betting big on Trump’s team, and we’re supposed to believe it’s all clean?
Jared Kushner, Trump’s golden boy, scored up to $1.5 BILLION from Qatar post-White House. During Trump’s first term, he played fixer in Qatar’s Gulf spat. Now he’s cashing in. Family first, America last.
Barry Bennett, Trump’s 2016 campaign guru, pocketed $2.1M from Qatar to push their agenda and trash Saudi Arabia on the sly. No FARA disclosure? No problem in Trump’s world. Ethics? What ethics?
Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s ex-campaign boss, ran a firm Qatar paid $150K/month to “consult.” He bailed when it got too hot, but the checks kept flowing. Loyalty to Trump, not America.
Stuart Jolly and Marc Silversmith, Trump campaign cronies, got Qatar cash to set up meetings and push a “grassroots” pro-Qatar vibe. Minimal work, maximum payoff. Sound familiar? It’s the Trump way.
Why’s Qatar so obsessed with Trump’s crew? They’re buying access to dodge accountability for human rights abuses and Hamas ties. Trump’s golf resort deal with Qatar’s state firm and that sketchy jet “gift” scream Emoluments Clause violation.
Trump’s ethics pledge? A joke. His team’s Qatar ties prove he’s running a pay-to-play scheme. From the White House to Mar-a-Lago, it’s all about the Benjamins—or Qatari riyals. America deserves better than this circus.
Trump’s administration is a revolving door for foreign cash, with Qatar leading the charge. Where is Congressional oversight? Where is the media calling out clear evidence of corruption and emolument violations?
Demand transparency NOW!
In 2017 Trump decried the country of Qatar as a ‘funder of terrorism’.
Donald Trump in 2017: Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.
Today: Accepts a $400 million jet from Qatar, praises its leadership, and is set to visit it as one of the first countries in his second term while his family builds a luxury golf resort there.… pic.twitter.com/WiXBuWuzpd
