The statue of Liberty was also not transferred to Grover Cleveland after his term.
Yeah I’m sure bribing someone with a statue in a city they don’t live inis the same as planes and money to a personal account. Shut up.
Though if a congressional vote was held on the Qatari golden airliner, it’d pass along party lines, as no Republicans want to incur the wrath of the King. A few may hem and haw and express how troubled they are by the, ahem, highly irregular nature of this deal, but would ultimately wave it through. (Bonus: a handful of Democrats may vote to approve, out of an instinctual desire to reach across the aisle and build bridges or whatever.)
