Democrats missed their first chance in the focus of repeated violations of the Trump Constitution. They don’t have to miss the second.

Once again, the indignation about the brazen corruption of the Oval Donald Trump’s office was still a novelty, a group of former national security officers provided A short amicus In the court lawsuit, the leaders of the 2019 Democratic Congress brought Trump repeated violations against the Constitution. They called one scenario as a clear and current threat to the interests of the US national security: “The nation that plays the central role in the Balance of Forces in the Middle East, one of the richest regions for the US national security in the world (can) benefit from the president, gaining real estate in one of its companies.”
Like most of the gloomy constitutional prophecy about this past era, this hypothetical illustration now looks ridiculous. Of course Signs with Saudi billion dollars. And yet Trump’s own Recently announced transaction with the royal family of Qatar To provide him with a new jet, $ 400 million, notes the exciting new level of the president’s corruption. Indeed, a transaction that was hastily packed as a “gift” from the Katar government to the Pentagon is an illustration of the textbook of imperial corruption, which the founders are aimed An enamel itemprohibiting the president to use his office for personal enrichment. Trump announced an agreement on the eve of his first in the Middle East in the second term. The President’s visit to Qatar is sure to be imbued with the magnificent assessments of his individual Boeing 747-8, which his original owners are bizarrely called “palace in the sky“
You can instantly evaluate the depth of self -government here, overheated Trump Defense Defense. In X POSTThe president announced: “The fact that the Defense Department receives a gift, a free aircraft 747 to replace the 40 -year Air Force, temporarily, in very public and transparent transactions, so it worries the curves of the Democrats they insist that we pay by returning the dollar for the plane. Anyone can do it!
This explosion demonstrates every element of Trump corruption, starting with the statement that bends the president’s isolation from foreign financial influence is somehow a “crooked” political maneuver, unlike the central constitutional control board. There is also a ridiculous concept that the Qatari emulment is a savvy piece of transactions, not an arrangement for Quid-Pro-Qu to benefit the donor. Here he says that Trump listened to the temporary transaction; If it was such an obvious good in the country, shouldn’t it be permanent? In reality, of course, the ownership of the Airborne Palace will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Fund at the end of the term-in transactions the federal government is used as a corporation fencing, which conducts a passing agreement on the security of the aircraft in the gilded Trump empire.
Qatari payment is also not falsified by Trump as a heroic savior of the American industry because he has left his way to develop a catastrophic global trade war to preside over the “golden age” in American production. The US Boeing Aerospace Giant has a $ 5 billion contract to replace both Air Force planes – a project, which is now five years for the company’s registered losses more than $ 2.5 billion. Part of this overcoming is related to the technical problems of the plane settlement with the basic security guarantees and communications needed in the presidential plane – in case Trump can boast that it reaches in the Qatar “Gift, Free”, quickly evaporate if the government should essentially disassemble and restore the crafts.
In addition, Boeing has become a provider of dangerous and aircraft running on the execution, thanks Main Engineering Protocols and Guarantees. In other words, Trump is in a hurry to a foreign monarchy to satisfy the requirements for air travel, since the American contractor, which is initially accused of making a couple of the Air Force, has not fulfilled its commitments within the Trump commercial model, which privileges the ransom due to funds. Not surprisingly, Trump’s own tirade goes into the call rancor: “Anyone can do it! Democrats are world-class losers !!!”
But, unfortunately, Trump is not mistaken to call democratic disorder. During the first term Trump, the leaders of the Democratic Congress were not charged with impeachment against the president. That is why national security advisers were to weigh a civil lawsuit against Trump for numerous Emol violations, which ranged from trades with a trademark with China for the organization of Trump to the proposed use of its Dorral Golf to meet the G-7 fees for the Mar-A-Lago initiation to $ 200,000. And the civil lawsuit eventually flared up as soon as it reached the US Supreme Court, which predictably announced the issue after Trump completed his first term. .
Democratic leaders in such a brazen abuse could not use the political opportunity. At the time, Trump used an oval office to benefit with an invisible scale in the chronicle of presidential corruption – and exposing his falsification of business practice to raise the main basis of his demagogic attractiveness as a manufacturer. Instead, the Democrats first entered into an effort to bribe the President of Ukrainian Volodimir Zelensky with a package of military assistance, and then sought to finish Trump for strengthening the uprising on January 6 in the US Capitol. Both of these shameful criminal episodes were founded in Trump’s belief that he was an unmatched gamer of a management racket, and the police in the congress would be very advanced, which accused of false fake Trump as a maestro.
The same basic dynamics today corresponds to authenticity – nothing prevents the Democrats emphasizing the ways that Trump’s corruption is an integral part of how it manages, and its transformation of the Federal Government into the transaction syndicate of the mafia, which is performed by Elon Musk, Stephen Miller and patel. Really the impeachment permit The Michigan Democratic Representative Sri Tanetar, introduced last month, includes an article about “bribery and corruption”, which refers to “enamel”. The Democratic Party, which is serious about the fight against authoritarianism and in charge, can begin with the abolition of its policy Tanador’s treatment as a terry bar.
Instead, the functional silence of the Congress on the emolles even more allowed to put impunity as possible in the second term Trump, which, among other things, turned into January 6 into Model right control. The diversification of Congress corruption to corruption is also because for all Trump’s nagging over Qatar, democratic answers somehow manage to deteriorate. “Nothing talks about” America first “as the Air Force first, brought to you by Qatar,” said the Senate Chuck’s minority leader The statement on x. “It is not only bribery, it is a premium influence with the foot place.” No, Chuck-nothing says that “without coping with your work”, for example, thinking that you can fight the impact of the executive branch with a fashioned employee’s social media Zinger.
