Default Interesting Catch- Donald Trump and Qatar CEO

If you type in Donald Trump and Akbar Al Baker into google images together, it will be interesting what you will find. It shows Donald Trump and Melania with Qatar Airways CEO at a party sponsored by Qatar Airways to celebrate NYC service in 2007. Interesting, I thought.

Politics were put to the side in the interest of making hoards of cash at a 25K per plate dinner!!

What's really interesting is that Akbar Al Baker can be loosely translated as Al the Great Baker, as in Al who makes good cookies.

I'll get my coat.

Appearances are often very deceiving...an uncomfortable and often ignored truth to those attempting to push a particular perspective (ie. "narrative").

If one didn't know any better, they might think these two guys were best friends, based on appearances...

The thing is that Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways CEO and billionaire himself, claims to be good friends with The Donald.

One of them held the SA boss's hand and the other one bowed deeply to him. 6 of one half dozen of the other.
