TRUMP Jet sits and rots

[Synthaholic]

Article says he's worth 2.3 billion

Good grief

The TRUMP empire is dwindling
He once claimed to be worth $10 billion

It is now $2.3 billion and dropping. Even worse for the TRUMP brand, it ain’t what it used to be. While TRUMP once signified class and elegance worth paying more for, it is now a failed political brand that people will stay away from

He's not a billionaire. He has wealth on paper that is decreasing. All his properties are worth much less than when he bought them. Doral is in disrepair, nobody plays at Turnbury, Beddington doesn't make money unless Secret Service agents are filling the rooms, Trump Tower has major issues and is bleeding residents, and Trump Vegas has always done poorly, since he can't get a gaming licence due to past criminality so he has no casino. Non- smokers like it, though. Mara Lago may be the only property that he could sell at a profit. Only because he paid so little for it.

Once the pride f the TRUMP empire, his beloved TRUMP 757 no longer is airworthy. It’s engines are in disrepair and the aircraft sits at Stewart Airport in upstate NY.

Trump no longer has the funds to maintain the obsolete aircraft.

Glory days of Trump's gold-plated 757 seem far away as plane sits idle at a sleepy airport

Trump's personal Boeing 757 was always the crown jewel of his wealth -- the ultimate sign that he had made it. He's used it as a backdrop for sleek photo shoots, campaign rallies, VIP tours, for shots of him eating his Big Macs and KFC, plated, with a knife and fork. Trump loved to show it off...

Here is where airlines are parking all those grounded planes as travel dries up

With demand for air travel in a nose dive, U.S. airlines are taking hundreds of commercial planes out of service and parking them in remote desert airports, with the hope

Agree

Notice they fly them down to the desert where the dry air will not damage them. Trump leaves his pride and joy in an airport in upstate NY where the snow and elements will destroy it.
Must not be airworthy and Trump can’t get it running

Trump is broke and owes $421 Million. He can't even afford the less than 1 million to fix this old plane.

He probably wants to get it fixed on credit

The prestige of the TRUMP brand has diminished. Before the Trump presidency, people would pay a premium to use a TRUMP property.
Since then, the Trump name is dirt. Nobody want to admit they went to a TRUMP hotel or golf course

And then stiff the creditor.

I'd qualify that as "a certain type of people". And I would characterize them, uncharitably, as rubes from the sticks. MAGA, basically. The "Donald Trump is the unsophisticated person's idea of a rich person" crowd. I think fellow rich people tended to avoid his properties, and they definitely avoided him.

I loved the nugget that this airplane that Trump is so proud of spent it's first 10 years in service as a Mexican commercial jet. How many "Dirty Mexicans" spent hours crammed into it over 10 years?

MAGA cannot afford TRUMP properties and frankly, would not be welcome.

Correct, but I was thinking of the tourists from Hicksville planning their big vacation or 40th wedding anniversary, etc., looking to splurge.

Say, whatever happened to that chain of low-cost hotels without the Trump name that they were supposedly going to start to lure the MAGA crowd?

What can we say about the Hussein "empire"? Barry's V.W. bug sits and rots?

Racist much?

 

[whitehall]

The Trump empire built things and met payrolls and offered living wages to people. What did "community activist" Barry Hussein ever accomplish?

Imagine paying 100 million for a 757 that can longer fly. If a fully working 757 is only worth 7-10 million, then this thing is a piece of junk. The cost of repairs alone would not be worth the value of the plane. This is typical Trump logic. It's no wonder his cult loves him.

Who said he paid $100 million, and who said it's only worth $7-$10 million?

The article did. And we are talking about 100 million in 1991 dollars, which is equal to nearly 200 million dollars today. Incredible.

1991 is thirty years ago, so it's hardly worth that much now.

Dim talking points - lies, in other words.

The article also said that similar planes are selling for $7 to $10 million, so what's the big deal?

Those planes do not have tens of millions of dollars of gold plating and TRUMP branding

Trump's plane does not have tens of millions of gold plating. It has touches of gold leaf here and there. The interior looks quite ordinary for a business jet.

Your ilk claims that "Trump branding" is a detriment, not a plus.

Who would be dopey enough to fly in a Trump airplane?

It can be an exhibit at his presidential museum.
