Last Saturday Donald Trump boarded a borrowed private jet for a flight from a Republican National Committee meeting in New Orleans back to his rat's nest called Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. The aircraft was about thirty minutes into the flight when one of its four engines went out and it was forced to return to New Orleans. Trump, always on the lookout for a new way to fleece his witless supporters, quickly turned that bit of sky drama into a fundraising appeal.
Trump sent out an email to his followers telling them of a new plane that he is having built that will be called "Trump Force One," and then he, of course, invited them to help pay for it by sending along love offerings donations. In Trump's email he made it sound as though the project was a big secret from the media and general public that he was sharing with his followers. Lucky dogs!
One is left to wonder why a person who claims to be a billionaire would be in need of donations to help build a vanity plane. One is also left to wonder how long the Republican Party is willing to stand idly by with its collective head up its ass while Donald Trump siphons off donations that could be benefitting the entire organization instead of instead of just Trump and his useless family.
Donald Trump has his own private jet, a big one, a Boeing 757 with his name painted on the side. It's a flying billboard that he used during the 2016 campaign to highlight his fame and importance. Now the relic from his past sits in a warehouse at an airfield in Orange County, New York, where it is in need of major repairs and unable to be flown. That plane was apparently the original "Trump Force One,"
With Donald Trump it's all about ego, and show, and getting someone else to pay for it!

Perhaps Trump is afraid of international sanctions against Russian oligarchs and doesn't want to use his money when the plane will likely be confiscated. He is, after all, essentially an Oligarch with his fortunes tied to Russia.
Of course, since ₽200 now equals $1.00, or the Russian rubles is now worth 1/2ȼ US. That's the cents sign for you youngsters!
