Don't worry.

We will spend $400 million fixing up its security systems so Trump can use it for a year or two in office and then for a 10-15 years after he leaves office.

If Obama or Biden had done that people like Jeff would be livid. Absolutely livid.

Jeff's too busy sucking on Biden's prostate.

The expert estimate I saw for tearing this plane down to it's bones and adding all the security and other equipment was about a billion dollars.

Such a deal!

Trumpers keep proving Trump correct.

They lack all morals and integrity to stand up to him.

Even after he murdered a retired firefighter for a publicity stunt.

Not one republican has had the courage to denounce Trump's corruption.

This is what being in a cult looks like.

The last number I heard was a frosty one billion to upgrade that plane.

It's allegedly one that Qatar couldn't sell for several years.

Trump has no humility or shame, so naturally he yearns for a sky palace.

He feels inadequate when arriving at dictatorships in anything less.

Beggars can't be choosers, and Trump, whatever else he is, is a shameless beggar and freeloader. As with some women of his acquaintance, identification of the species is easy; it's just a question of establishing the price.
