I saw it in some xitter screenshot. The tariff was the 5.5 billion golf course on his name.
Tariffs for thee, not for me.
Maybe we will get lucky and he’ll invite musk and other billionaire backers into the plane for its first official flight, at which point Boeing plane does what it does best coupled with a crippled FAA… one can dream.
I would like that. Reminds me of that time when 16 Russian admirals bit the dust due to their grift...
Corrupt piece of shit.
Of course he cannot accept it. It is not American made. We know American first. And then think of all the tariffs he would need to pay for it!
747-8...
not American made
No...that's not the problem.
He ain't got no mind to lose.
First of all, he is not "losing his mind". You cannot lose what you already lost decades ago.
I mean, dementia, Alzheimer's, syphilis syndrome, 70 years of big macs, all impacting a brain that was so fuckin' dumb he lost money running casinos.
hard to say...
I'd go even further. You can't lose what you've never had.
What the fuck? Trump ordered new AF1 and 2 from Boeing not long ago.
1 is used for secret communications with RUSSIA, msb, and qatari.
I am kinda hoping that Grand Theft Aviation happens, with AOC and Bernie leading Free America from those two jets.
He ordered them in his first term. They are currently slated to enter into service in 2029.
One man's beautiful gift is almost everyone else's blatant corruption.
So....is anyone not thinking that the plane is absolutely chock full of spying devices? I mean sure Trump is too stupid to think of it as anything other than a tribute to his greatness but is there a single sane person there?
The ol' Trojan plane trick...gets em' everytime.
There probably is, hence "bipartisan critics"
Oh, this jet is going to have more bugs than a rainforest. It will be hilarious and compromising.
And just wait until he starts keeping classified documents in the airplane lavatory next to the photocopier.
i dont think you need to bug trumps planes, he has a big mouth and will say anything for money.
No need for spying devices, he's for sale they can just buy the info they need.
I can't remember did I actually read it or hallucinated it, but I remember something about trump "selling" (auctioned?) "dinner with Trump" events and most of the tickets are bought out by "foreign influence". He is clearly selling "chance to influence trump over dinner" tickets knowingly.
Yea the auction ended yesterday.
Loses his mind? Well, that's redundant.
Can't lose what you never had 🙂
No it's impossible
Cannot lose what you don’t have …
