You (taxpayers) paid for a plane with a "level of luxury that nobody has ever seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House. The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.Way to go on offense, Sen. Murphy!

(3,161 posts)No doubt if Congress is in total Rupuke control they would rubber stamp it, but if it flips in the midterms I would imagine they could put the brakes on that. Otherwise could he just take the Presidential limo and keep Camp David too. Hell he could transfer the deed of the White House. There must be some limits.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself.

And you paid for it. The total cost could be billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

and, of course, any R in congress would rather die first.
which reminds me -- is mitch mcconnell still in the hospital?

(85 posts)Trump now is 80 and despite the spin and denials, his physical and mental decline is increasingly apparent. He knows his time is limited and seems focused on enjoying it, regardless of the consequences. Hes surrounded by cowards and sycophants, while the systems meant to hold power in check are failing. The media, too, is falling short. As a result, our country and our democracy feel closer than ever to a worst-case scenario.
