TRUMP Jet sits and rots

[rightwinger]

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...

It can be an exhibit at his presidential museum.

Good point

Trump can donate it to his museum and then write it off.

I think we paid extra to be able to tour Elvis' plane at Graceland, or maybe it was part of the package that included the museum and plane. I forget now.

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.

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

So....you don't think it's a big deal to pay over 20 times what a plane is actually worth? Would you pay someone half a million dollars for a Toyota camry?

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

Son, the plane isn't made of gold. It has gold plated seat buckles and some fold fixtures inside. That's it.

He didn't buy the plan in 2021, moron. He bought it 10 years ago. The article stated the plane is worth about the same as other 757s of that age. If you paid $30k for a car in 2011, how much could you sell if for today?

Maybe $10,000 worth of gold.
