CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins criticized President Donald Trump's reversal on Qatar, highlighting his acceptance of a $400 million jet gift after previously denouncing the country as a supporter of terrorism. Critics have raised concerns about this perceived hypocrisy, dubbing it a form of bribery. Trump's upcoming trip to Qatar, following a lavish historical precedent, poses questions regarding the motivations behind such foreign relations and the true cost of these diplomatic gestures. The Boeing jet will serve as an interim Air Force One, later transitioning to his presidential library.
If it's anything like his first visit to the Kingdom, in 2017, President Trump's trip will be full of pageantry, maybe even sword dances, his face projected onto the side of hotels.
Critics from every quarter have denounced the move, which some have cited as grounds for criticism due to Qatar's support for terrorism.
