The Qatari government is paying @realDonaldTrump $135,000 a year for an unused office in a San Francisco skyscraper, an apparent violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause, according to a new book by @DanAlexander21.

The Qatari sovereign wealth fund decided to lease space in the San Francisco building just as the Trump administration was siding with Saudi in its fight with Qatar.
Soon after, the White House patched things up with Qatar.

Today, it is merely the tiniest of blips.

(36,481 posts)I had a surrealistic experience with that building back in the day; I built a fake bank inside of the bank, way, way down in the basement's 'War Room'.
I drove down a ramp and parked in the basement parking garage, then walked through a sally port with a million cameras on me, then passed through a massive circular vault door to enter an elevator to go down three more levels to the 'War Room'. I was escorted by two serious suits with curly wires plugged into their ears. They pressed a zillion digit code on a door marked 'War Room' (I kid you not), and the mysterious War Room opened up, and the guards disappeared, POOF!
The War Room was a massive room with the largest table I had ever seen, the board of director's table, I guess. All my materials, knock together components, were already prepositioned, so all I had to do was knock it all together, and voila, just possibly the first mock-up of a supermarket storefront bank in the nation.
I can still feel the cameras looking at me.
