Former GOP campaign consultant and current full-time Donald Trump critic Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC on Sunday morning and pounced all over a report that the government of Qatar is gifting the president with a $400 million jet that he will be allowed to keep when he leaves office.
Late Saturday ABC reported, "The royal family of Qatar is prepared to gift a 747-8 jumbo jet for Trump's use as Air Force One until the end of his term, when the aircraft will be transferred to his presidential library."
With the jet being dubbed a "flying palace," Wilson had another suggestion when speaking with host Ali Velshi.

"First off, this is what we call a bribe," Wilson began. "It's not a gift, it's a bribe, this is a bribe. This is a very, very expensive 740 7-8, it's a very fancy plane."
"In fact, the reason, I think that Qatar has been so smart about this is the interior decorating style.," he continued. "It looks like Saddam and Liberace's decorators got together and said, let's make a flying brothel that will appeal to Donald Trump."
"It is the most vulgar thing you've ever seen in your life, he added, "But that is his –– this is a bribe. This is not a gift, it's not a, it's not a loan, it's not a deal –– it's a bribe. And you need to, I mean, we need to just recognize how transactional and corrupt this is."
