The plane not just a giant grift, it is a giant waste.

So... I'm curious. The Ketamine Crackhead gave $270M to the SCROTUS* campaign and was installed as a (temporary) "Government Employee" to run roughshod and massively fuck around with deeply personal and important US Government services. I wonder... for $0.6B (the estimated cost of the 747) which Saudi will be installed to replace the Crackhead in the Cabinet meetings?

When it arrives in the U.S., they'd better check to make sure it's not full of ancient Greek soldiers.

..... never mind corruption, that has to be an intelligence fucking nightmare!

Question. If T**** does eventually leave the White House and happily take ownership of his "palace in the sky", does he actually have enough cash to keep it running?

Yeah, there's a lot of stories about how much all his corruption is making him, but it seems to me a lot of his gains are on paper, which can evaporate if/when his companies go bust.

There's also the question of how much debt he owes. Maybe his desperate desire for more and more amd more money is impelled by his need to meet his payments?

Cos I remember back when he was running in 16, and again in 20, there were reports on how much he owed the Chinese and Russian banks. Some were said to be due in 22. What happened to them? Were they paid off? With whose money? I can see Putin dangling Donnie on a string, constantly promising to forgive his debts in return for just one more little favor.....

But the MSM is owned by billionaires, so they're not going to look into it.....

Be sure to say “thank you! Might I have another??”

This could not be more of a set-up if they had the plane underneath a wooden box propped up with a stick.

Plane? I don't see any plane. All I see is that gigantic wooden horse over there.

NOT a "quid pro quo? You can by a lot of quids with $400 million, a bunch of pros and quos too!!

Trump gets to keep it when he leaves office? Why not include the Presidential Limo,the WH China, silverware, and the west wing furniture as well?

BUT BUT BUT HUNTER BURISMA LAPTOP !!1!

The thing I find most amazing about that “sky palace” is that it reportedly has only *two* bedrooms; that’s not a “palace”, that’s a Park Avenue bachelor pad.

Pretty sure they used the same interior designer as Marriott ...

Trump gets one bedroom, Karoline Take-It-Or-Leavitt gets the other. The rest of those mooks can fight over the couches.

I’m assuming that the Tangerine Tyrant’s flying palace won’t have all special avionics and countermeasures like the real presidential plane. I’m sure everyone out there is aware that the new one will be much more vulnerable to attack.

There's a 100,000.01% chance that that plane will arrive with all sorts of handy dandy bugging devices in ungettatable places, like the US Embassy in Moscow, so kindly built by the Soviets (who took no chances with letting "friendly" Americans build their Embassy.....)

Pixeloid's avatar

All his properties are filled with foreign spies and just monitoring all the devices there keeps them very busy. They would have to hire a lot more people to monitor bugs on his plane.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

True, Pixeloid, UNTIL the flying palace is refitted with all the requisite communications and defensive upgrades, at taxpayer expense.

Pixeloid's avatar

That equipment takes up a lot of space and I don't know if he'll be willing to give up the space for his golf simulator, Fox viewing lounge, sex dungeon, and wank cubicle next to the women's toilet behind the one way mirror.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Excellent point! He wouldn't want to be without his toys.

Additionally, I read that retrofitting all the comms and defense utilities would take more than a year, which seems hard to believe, but might be a deal breaker. OTOH, your original point is well taken. Maybe the orange blob might insist on flying in the new plane despite the lack of comms and defenses..... I certainly wouldn't be one to discourage him....

I once saw a walkthrough of the unclassified areas of one of those planes and they're just packed with special systems. It's got to serve as a self-contained command center and even has a hospital. All of the electronics also have to include the shielding to protect them from the EMPs of nuclear detonations.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

So...a really long time to refit isn't unreasonable. Wonder if anyone has told the blob that??
