Boy, anything to distract from those Epstein files.

You mean Trump the child sex trafficer and child rapist/rapist? That trump? I didn't know they still let him on planes.

[–] KumaSudosa 8 points 6 days ago

Nono, they roll out the red carpet for racist, trafficking rapists.

Making the project even more absurd, because the renovations will take one or two years to complete, Trump will only fly in the plane as president for a short time until he leaves office and the plane is ostensibly transferred to his presidential library in 2029 — at least that is what Trump has said will happen. (Unless, that is, Trump finds a way to extend his time in office beyond this four year term, as he has often hinted at, though that would be extremely unconstitutional.)

Trump pursued the gift from Qatar, he said, because Boeing is years behind schedule to deliver two new planes to serve as Air Force Ones, a project that has already cost $4 billion.

To be fair, a lot of shit he’s done in both his first and current terms are extremely unconstitutional. For instance, that one time he incited a right-wing riot and aimed it at the US Capitol while a joint session to certify the results of the election he lost was occurring.

trump is an idiot if he think it was a gift, and not because qatar was trying to get rid of it because of its high maintanace cost.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hasn't the US paid for it anyway?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

he thinks hes getting a DEAL from a free expensive jet, because its so GAUDY, AND gold everywhere.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 38 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It would be cheaper to sell that plane for scrap and build a brand new one from the ground up. Perhaps Little t thinks the plane is an underage girl.

[–] tylerkdurdan@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

they literally are building a new VC-25. Boeing got the contract already but it wont be ready in time for Trump so he got this other one as a bribe from the Qataris...

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Yeah. That plane is far too old for him.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

why bother? there's not a single Maga voter who would care if he was spending it on hookers and blow

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 5 days ago

He should open a venmo for his plane. People would gladly pay for it.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 29 points 6 days ago

Just another turd on the roaring dumpster fire that is this administration.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There was an article about they couldn’t even sell it for years. Now they dump it on rump and he thinks it’s great. Why am not surprised?

It's as if a fat guy who brought a bike for exercise and then threw it in the garage gave it to his pot dealer so the kid could deliver faster.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

In the Epstein Files? How unusual.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ugghhhh. Who cares. I’m way more concerned with the ICE budget.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 3 points 6 days ago

Slow news day.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 days ago

Make sure to take all the listening devices out.
