In defending the gift of a super luxury jumbo jet he’s preparing to receive from the royal family of Qatar to use as Air Force One, President Donald Trump described it as a brilliant deal. Not for the American people, it isn’t.

Norman Eisen is the publisher of The Contrarian and the executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund, for which Virginia Canter is the chief anticorruption counsel. Richard W. Painter is a law professor at the University of Minnesota. They served as ethics counsels in the Obama, Clinton and George W. Bush White Houses.

Trump said accepting a luxury 747 from Qatar is a no-brainer. But critics say the plan threatens to turn a symbol of American power into a collection of legal and counterintelligence concerns.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned President Donald Trump not to make this “mistake.” Paul weighed in on the ABC News report that said Trump was ready to accept a $400 million luxury Boeing jet from Qatar. While Qatar has said the deal has not been finalized, Trump confirmed Monday that he would accept the expensive jet.
