Democrats have raised serious, weighty objections to President Donald Trump’s move to accept a $400 million plane from the governor of Qatar, with many arguing it’s a clear violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution and a possible security threat.

On Wednesday, they’ll also be trolling Trump, hoping to draw some public attention to the issue.

On Wednesday, the Democratic National Committee is having a plane fly a banner near Mar-a-Lago, the president’s beloved home and club in Palm Beach. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. it will identify the location as “Qatar-a-Lago.”

“Donald Trump is using the presidency to personally enrich himself while he bankrupts working families. His corruption is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who are struggling to get by and put food on the table,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said in a statement.
