Demand Transparency on Trump's Qatar Jet Deal

Donald Trump is reportedly set to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government — which could violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause barring federal officials from taking gifts from foreign powers without Congress’ approval.

Yet much of the mainstream media has failed to treat this as the serious legal and ethical issue it is. Instead of burying it under headlines about luxury, journalists must spotlight the constitutional concerns.

Even some conservative outlets are raising red flags, calling the deal “disgraceful” and “skeezy.” The corporate press should follow suit — this story demands aggressive, principled coverage.

We’re calling on national media to treat Trump’s Qatar jet deal not as a curiosity, but as a potential constitutional crisis. Add your name to demand accountability in reporting.
