How has the disgraced, CONVICTED FELON, former but once again President Trump pissed you off today? (Part 1)

I don’t think Trump’s 757 is in a hangar. I think it’s just sitting on the ramp.

Assuming it hasn’t fallen off.

TFG asks his supporters to buy him a new plane after the plane he was flying on to Mar-A-Lago had to make an emergency landing.

They shouldn’t do it - he didn’t take care of the last one he had.

Last year, it was reported that his Boeing 757 was sitting unused at an Orange County, N.Y., airport unable to be flown.

The full-size passenger airliner, which bears Trump’s name across the side in large block letters, has fallen into disrepair. One engine is shrink-wrapped and the other is missing parts, according to CNN.

It’s a very steep ramp. He doesn’t want the plane to fall on its ass.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

He’s so considerate that way.

Trump hasn’t found a printed document that couldn’t be “improved” with his Sharpie!

If the Constitution and Declaration of Independence weren’t under lock and key, I’m guessing, he’d have liked to make some corrections and changes with his Magic Sharpie.

'I got along': Trump avoids criticizing Putin

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday was given several chances during a Fox News interview to reject autocrats and walk back his praise for President Vladimir Putin of Russia but didn’t.

Fox’s Sean Hannity set Trump up multiple times during the 30-minute exchange to criticize Putin, but the former president didn’t go along. He instead touted his relationships with Putin, the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Xi Jinping of China.

The Constitution would have big black redacts of Articles 1 and 3. Like, complete redactions. Don’t need those parts any longer.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

That’s the Trumprinzip for you.

So, does Trump pay the airport for leaving his junky plane there or anything? I wonder how that works?

[DCnDC]

Does it even matter? Trump doesn’t pay his bills. If you invoice him, you get a lawsuit.

[not_what_you_d_expect]

Well, maybe so, but then could they sell it. Put a lien on it or something?

[digs]

The photo I saw, it’s already liening…

[wguy123]

I saw a picture of it and it has a wheel lock on it!

[not_what_you_d_expect]

Whee!

Airports/FBOs charge a tie-down fee for aircraft tied down on the ramp, and also rent hangar space. Think of it like a parking lot for your car where you pay a monthly parking fee, only for airplanes.

Thanks Johnny. Well, I hope they get paid.

The Washington Post just reported on yet another grift-gone-right from Trumpland–and on Trump’s history of stiffing those who enter his “contests”:

…no such winner was flown to New Orleans last weekend, according to four people familiar with the matter. No flight or “very nice” hotel was booked. Trump had no individual meeting with a small-dollar donor, instead only privately greeting a handful of Republican Party donors who gave large checks, taking pictures with some of the party’s most well-heeled members and speaking to a larger group of donors who each gave tens of thousands of dollars.

The email pitches probably raised a sizable sum for Save America. Some similar contests to meet Trump have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to people involved. …

…The Washington Post asked Save America to provide winners for other contests it has held, which included meeting the president at a rally in South Carolina this weekend, meeting Trump at his palatial Florida club last year, playing golf with Trump and Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker in Palm Beach, or receiving commemorative memorabilia — such as a football signed by Trump and Walker, a College Football Hall of Famer.

The PAC declined to comment…

…Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor in Chicago now at Thompson Coburn, said a donor could sue over a prize not being awarded, but that would be unlikely. People motivated to donate to Trump may be unlikely to sue by arguing they were defrauded by the former president’s tactics, he said.

“The obstacles help you understand why so many of these campaign tactics that seem obviously misleading have few consequences…

The lengthy article details many of Trump’s other tactics for parting his fans from their money.

His base members either don’t know they’re being cheated, or don’t care, or if they know and care they find a way to blame it on the Democrats.

Individual 1 said at his rally in South Carolina today that it’s because of him that Ukraine has weapons.

Because of. In spite of. To-may-to, to-mah-to, I guess in what passes for his mind.
