Lawrence O'Donnell made a prediction last night [View all]

He said he thinks trump will have to back out of his agreement to receive the luxury jet.

I'm not seeing the backlash that I think would be necessary to force that, but maybe he has inside info. Anyway, hope he's right, and as we have all seen in the last few days, backing down is kind of trump's thing.
