It's official!  "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has accepted a
Boeing 747 from Qatar" on behalf of the U.S. Air Force on behalf of
President Donald Trump for (provisional) use as Air Force One.

The deal proceeds without regard to the Constitution of the U.S.,
which plainly states:

"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no
Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall,
without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument,
Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or
foreign State."

  Emoluments Clause." _Constitution Annotated_. n.d. 22 May 2025

"During the Articles period, American diplomats struggled with how to
balance their legal obligations and desire to avoid the appearance of
corruption, against prevailing European norms and the diplomats’ wish
to not offend their host country. A well-known example from this
period, which appears to have influenced the Framers of the Emoluments
Clause, involved the King of France’s gift of an opulent snuff box to
Benjamin Franklin. Concerned that receipt of this gift would be
perceived as corrupting and violate the Articles of Confederation,
Franklin sought (and received) congressional approval to keep the
gift."

You know what I'm thinking?  I'm imagining Trump imagining himself,
delivering Zaphod Beeblebrox's famous pickup line.  He'd shake his
orange locks, smile his horsiest smile, and say, "I'm from another
planet. Seriously!  You want to see my spaceship?"
