Z, there are two differences between what the Saudi prince did and what Trump is doing.

1) The Saudi prince said something offensive in direct relation to the 9/11 attacks. Trump said nothing offensive about the White House tours. Rejecting the former gift is an exercise in principle, while rejecting the latter "gift" based on the race card is an exercise in ad hominem logic.

2) Turns out the 9/11 relief efforts was awash in money. The federal government, in comparison, is consistently on the brink of going default. We didn't need the Saudi prince's money, but the federal government could use Trump's money.

By the way, if this is about "saving jobs," then that's another good reason to accept Trump's money, make him a bit poorer, and keep some of 750,000 Secret Service agents from losing their jobs.
