Greedy, corrupt, and an easy mark

 Of course Trump thinks getting a gift of a $400 million 747 airplane whose interior looks like a Las Vegas casino is a wonderful idea. And, of course, receiving it is a massive violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. It is an impeachable offense.

But there is another part of the story. It seems that this giant, ugly old plane is a white elephant that Qatar has been trying to get rid of for years. And the Orange Puffed Up egomaniac was easily suckered into thinking it was a wonderful tribute to his super duper rich self. It is old, hugely expensive to operate because of old fashioned engines, and really way too gauche and ugly for normal people. 

And, of course, it will cost hundreds of millions to tear apart and debug by the U.S government. 

It turns out the dumbass is an easy mark for conmen to flatter and fool.  
 
Thanks, sucker!
