Yeah, so this is the question about the way the world works. Just really quick, a quick aside of the Qatari plane because I haven't had a chance to get to this. David Frum plugged this.

The royal family also offloaded a jet to Turkey, to Erdogan in 2018, and that jet was even fancier. So we're getting sloppy seconds when it comes to the bribes.
