Mother’s Day today.
The big news of the day is reporting, originally from ABC, that the Qatari government is about to gift a luxury 747 to the U.S. Air Force, to be used in the near term as Trump’s Air Force One, but with ownership to pass to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation at the end of Trump’s turn (so that, presumably, he can continue to make use of it). Apparently the administration has prepared a legal opinion indicating that this would not violate the Emoluments Clause, or any other laws. Hopefully that will be made public as it should make, umm, interesting reading.
In other news, Trump has signaled that in the morning he will be signing an executive order intended to significantly reduce drug prices, under some form of “most favored nation” rule. As this is getting reasonably close to my professional interests, I’m eager to see exactly what it says and what reaction it garners.
