DNC to fly 'Qatar-a-Lago' banner over Trump's Mar-Lago estate

The Democratic National Committee is planning to fly a banner about Donald Trump's Mar-Lago estate in Florida today and to mock its connections to Qatar and the Middle East. The banner, which reads “Qatar-A-Lago”, is said to fly between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. (ET) and with Trump's visit to Qatar coinciding first international trip to his second term.

The step follows the criticism of the acceptance of a luxury catar by the Trump government for use as Air Force One. Since then, Senator Chuck Schumer has sworn to keep the candidates of the Ministry of Justice until further information is published.

Trump and his family have long-term business interests in the Middle East, including real estate and golf companies. In a statement, DNC chairman Ken Martin said that the banner should highlight Trump's alleged self-help.

“Trump has no loyalty to the American people, national security or constitution – his only loyalty is his bank account and his billionaire buddies,” said Martin.

Trump allies say that the tax would prevent illegal immigration and to target illegal financial currents. Critics argue that it would hurt families and companies that depend on the money to survive.

“When Donald Trump won, many people sent up sending transfers or they started saving money,” said Vail. “The business broke a lot.”

He also calls on the department for foreign agents for foreign agents of the Ministry of Justice to disclose all activities by Qatarian foreign agents that could benefit Trump or his companies.

The democratic representative Shri Thanedar enforced a votes from the house on his office items against President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Thanedar went to the House Floor on Tuesday afternoon to notice his seven officials as privileged.

This means that Republicans from House have two legislative days from House to discuss the decision. They most likely hire a movement to plan it, which would effectively kill them.

Thanedar presented the charges that accuse Trump of crimes, including the disability of the judiciary, bribery and corruption and tyrannical presentation last month.

“It is time for us to take measures,” he said on Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter. “I call on my colleagues from both sides of the Ganges to support my office articles, to stand up for this country, to defend their oath and to protect the American people. It is never the wrong time to stand up for our constitution.”
