But it is pretty much my reaction (minus the slander on Islam, which is as foundational to Western culture as the Hebrews and the Greeks. And honestly, Muslims didn’t start the Crusades. But anyway…).
Gonna be pretty interesting to see who else reacts this way.

If Loomer isn’t your cup of tea, how about Norm Eisen?
Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbiddenOf course, this raises another question:
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal
could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?Inquiring minds want to know.
But there’s always an out:
Trump is going to blame Joe Biden for the Qatar jet.
