Murdoch’s New York Post Blasts Trump Over Qatari Jet

From the New York Post editorial board:

The plan calls for the jet to be donated later to Trump’s presidential library, arguably making him its personal owner. That not only looks bad; it creates all kinds of conflicts of interest and runs smack into the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which prohibits foreign gifts.
