"Even the seat buckles received a 24-carat coating," Forbes reported. Trump also asked for a "big TV, with a great sound system, to watch movies." He also reportedly loved the idea of having his Trump family crest stitched into the headrests, the report continued.
"An area in the galley for Oreos, Roth recalled to Forbes while laughing. I said to him, Mr. Trump, really? He goes, I love Oreos.
Trump "once told Rolling Stone that Air Force One is 'a step down' from his 757 'in every way.' But thats pure delusion," recalled Jeff Wise for New York Magazine's "Intelligencer" last year.

(52,901 posts)The Maximum Takeoff Weight of a Boeing 747-8 is 987,000 pounds.
The Operating Empty Weight of the passenger variant of this jet is 485,300 pounds. The cargo version is lighter, but that's not the one involved in the Qatari Bribe.
The distance between OEW and MTOW is 501,700 pounds.
If we can wedge 250 tons of marble into Donald's latest homage to Grandpa Friedrich, we won't have to worry about whether Trump has this plane because it'll be too heavy to fly. Marble weighs 160 pounds per cubic foot, so 3125 cubic feet of marble will be enough to solve the problem. For reference, that's a marble floor covering the entire lower deck that's 9.5 inches thick.

(9,286 posts)In order to have a real family crest, someone in the family would have to have done something positive. Dodging the draft in Germany, opening and running a whorehouse in the US, cheating people in real estate, Being such a terrible parent as to drive a son into alcohol abuse and an early death, dodging the draft in the US with a falsified document, becoming a Russian asset, winning the Presidency with Russian help on social media - and that's just three generations - I'd love to see the crest that that list of "accomplishments" would lead to.

If he really wants it then put a delivery date of January 20, 2059 on it and he can accept it as a private citizen.
How about just denying the gift. Would make things easier and LEGAL.

(2,451 posts)Let's see, what would a trump family crest include? A bounced contractor's check? A Big Mac? A field of Orange? Vlad's ding-dong? The Motto would be "Cofefe!"
All sinister, of course.

Ignore the goofball...he will do nothing of the kind.

(21,783 posts)...while the Saudi nonsense rules the news, the media's spending less time on:
1). The deportations
2). What Republicans are attempting in terms of Medicaid & SNAP cuts
3). The cost of Trump's tax cuts for millionaires
...and that's just the top items.
