Veteran political strategist James Carville weighed in on how Democrats should frame their messaging after President Trump drew controversy after Qatar’s royal family offered him a luxury

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a $200 billion deal between Qatar Airways and Boeing, a lifeline for the beleaguered American aerospace giant and a powerful symbol of the diplomatic maneuvering defining his presidency.

WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic Leaders Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that he is placing a hold on all political nominees for positions in the Justice Department in response to President Donald Trump's planned acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar valued at $400 million.

Republicans are attacking congressional Dems who traveled to Qatar for a double standard with their criticism of President Donald Trump accepting a jet from the emirate's royal family.

Meanwhile, an unprecedented offer by the royal family of Qatar to donate a jumbo jet for Mr. Trump's exclusive use as a presidential plane has sent shockwaves through the political sphere back home.

"There will be plenty of scrutiny," Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota told reporters.
