Why Qatar is bribing Trump [View all]

Why Qatar is bribing Trump

https://open.substack.com/pub/popularinformation/p/why-qatar-is-bribing-trump

Qatar wants:
- U.S. weapons
- Military protection
- U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East
- Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities

Trump wants:
- bribes

So Qatar gave him a 0 million plane and a .5 billion golf course deal.

This isnâ€™t complicated.
