00:00Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.
00:03Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:05President Trump was offered this $400 million airplane.
00:09He said he thought it was a nice gesture.
00:12A nice gesture is when somebody passes the salt and pepper.
00:16That's a nice gesture.
00:18A nice gesture is when somebody says, good morning, have a nice day.
00:23That's a nice gesture.
00:25A nice gesture is when some gentleman pulls a chair out for a lady to sit down.
00:32That's a nice gesture.
00:34But to take a $400 million airplane from Qatar as the plane of the United States of America's president
00:42is cheap and demeaning and harmful to our country that has always flown high as the finest nation on this earth.
00:50It's also graft and corruption.
00:52The emperor wears no clothes.
00:55And I yield back the balance of my time.
