When Is A Gift Too Lavish?

The Morning Run crew condenses the top conversations from the week and keeps you clued in on the stories you might have missed. In the mix today: reactions to Qatar's $400 million gift to President Donald Trump; the cause and implications of public Chinese vernacular schools becoming more multiracial; and when the A-grade is just not enough.
