**Trump on airfares**

> President [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump) said Tuesday an airplane flight costs $2 or “nothing” while proposing travel alternatives to the [high-speed rail](https://www.huffpost.com/topic/california-high-speed-rail) under construction in California.

Just as a benchmark, fares on Trump Air were $49 to $125 for a 48 minute helicopter flight, according to Wikipedia. And that was back in the 90s. I don’t know what the rates were for the Trump Shuttle, but I’ll bet it was a bit mor than $2.
