Also violative of the letter and spirit of the Foreign Emoluments Clause.
Also a bribe.
Trump has a thing for gold-encrusted jet interiors, like his gold-encrusted 757 that sits parked at LGA for some reason.
Completely unsurprising that he would spend massive taxpayer dollars (I'm presuming) on a bigger version covered in gold.
And that's before you consider the impossible amount of dollars that Boeing and their subs (read: prime contracts funded by taxpayer dollars) would need to spend to convert it into a VC example.
