The revelation that President Donald Trump intends to accept a $400 million airplane from the government of Qatar to replace Air Force One has sparked concerns about Qatari influence-buying in the United States. Scholar Charles Asher Small has been raising alarm about Qatari donations to American higher educational institutions since 2012, linking them to an increase in campus antisemitism. Small argues that Qatar's funding contributes to the spread of antisemitism and anti-democratic culture in the US.
