I wonder if Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk ever have plane trouble? Probably not, since they’re not known to just abandon their jets on a New York runway and then have the State of New York come after them for storage fees.
Apparently Donald Trump thought he’d have the use of Air Force One forever. But no, it didn’t work out that way and so he went back to his old plane and the old plane apparently was not maintained properly while vines grew on it and birds built nests in it. But not to worry, Trumpty found himself a buddy with a spare plane to loan him.
Life in the fast lane, right? The yous and mes go next door to borrow a cup of sugar, the Trumps borrow a jet. We need to find out who loaned him the jet. That person will be the front runner for Secretary of State, should Trump ever pick another cabinet. Politico:
The plane was in the air for between 20 and 30 minutes before one of the engines failed and the pilot of the private plane decided to turn around and return to the New Orleans airport, one of the sources said. The plane was en route to Palm Beach, Fla., where Trump resides at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Audio of the communications between the pilot and the air traffic control tower revealed that the landing was described as “emergency in nature,” according to the source, who had been briefed on the recording.
Once the plane was on the ground, the RNC scrambled and reached out to a donor and found the former president another plane. Trump eventually landed in Palm Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday.
Spokespersons for Trump and the RNC declined to comment.
Trump delivered a rambling 90-minute speech before donors Saturday at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, where he spoke on a range of topics. According to a recording of the speech, he jokingly suggested the U.S. “bomb the shit out of Russia” with planes bearing the Chinese flag; called one of his nemeses in Congress, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, a “watermelon head;” and called another critic, attorney George Conway, a “son of a bitch.”
I wonder if Trump knew the plane was in trouble? I was thinking that maybe he tried to rush for the exit and his entourage blocked him as he screamed, “It’s okay. I saw Keanu Reeves do it in a movie. I don’t need a parachute.”
Maybe Schiff and Conway stuck pins in a voodoo plane. Oh wait, that was probably Melania. If it would be to anybody’s advantage for Trumpty not to come home, it would be hers. And she hates the Trump plane anyway, after she posed in a James Bond-esque shoot in front of the plane, wearing a bikini and packing a gun. It went viral on the internet and she was resoundingly mocked.
How amusing that the “stable genius,” “mango messiah,” “he-who-knows-and-understands-everything” can’t straighten up and fly right!
Takes money for that. And he clearly doesn’t have enough to charter a jet.
It’s all Hillary’s fault!
Glad nothing happened or it would have been a conspiracy. Or……..bummer. Take it where you will.
*in his best maxwell smart voice*
Missed him by THAT much!!!
To paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson…if there were any true justice in the world, Trump would be in the belly of a hammerhead shark headed south of Easter Island.
