Why did a disheveled looking Trump just turn up in DC

It’s his. The registration number is N725DT. (N-numbers aren’t like licence plates, always randomly assigned. You can request personalization, like your initials.) It’s registered to DT Endeavor I, LLC. Here’s the registration info:

According to this Salon article, that company belongs to Trump.

Flight records suggest that the $16,800 funded a short round-trip flight from Washington to Philadelphia on the day after the election.

The Trump Organization owns a number of aircraft, including a screamingly Trump-branded 757 jumbo jet. But that particular plane has been grounded since 2019, Jon Ostrower, editor-in-chief of The Air Current, recently reported. Trump’s Cessna Citation X — a 1997 nine-seater which he used extensively, and for a time illegally, on the 2016 campaign trail — appears to have made these flights.

In order to re-legalize the plane in 2016, Trump created DT Endeavor I. Until last month, this Trump company had never been directly paid by the Trump campaign, even in the campaign’s early days, according to FEC records.

I am aware of this. I was simply being jocular.

He appears to have arrived in his own personal aircraft.

Bruce Wayne’s been spending too much time in his man-cave. I just hope that vigilante Batman can bring him to justice!

Just pointing out, a lot of modern golf shoes are essentially athletic shoes - with smoothish soles. The days of metal - or even ubiquitous rubber - spikes are long gone.

He looks like a fat slob - which he is. But I don’t know why folk say, “Dragged from the golf course…”

Someone on twitter said it and everyone wanted it to be true so it became true in their minds.

People really, really need to stop getting their news from Twitter.

So, why did Trump decide to fly to DC, wearing his usual garb and flying in his own jet?

It’s still an interesting question.

Dulles is in Virginia. He was in golf clothes, last seen getting into his secret service vehicle (you can tell by the plates), heading towards his golf course in Virginia which is 10mins away from the airport. I’d guess he’s going golfing.

But my fingers are crossed.

One of his drives went way out of bounds, and he didn’t want to waste an almost-new Titleist.

I spend quite a bit of time on golf courses. Can’t remember the last time I saw anyone golfing in a sport coat! :smiley:

Yeah given its now the next day and there is nothing in any of the major news sites about this, I’m gonna say its probably something very mundane and unexciting :frowning:

Trump - mundane and unexciting? Oh how one wishes!

I always try to understand what the other guy is thinking even when I don’t agree with it. But I can’t do it with the MAGA crowd.

I can understand how a person might think every politician is a corrupt liar who is only looking for what they can take for themselves. I don’t agree with that viewpoint but I can understand it.

But even after several years of trying, I can’t understand how a person can think every politician is a corrupt liar who is only looking for what they can take for themselves - except for Donald Trump, who is the only honest non-corrupt man in politics.

It’s pretty sickening how deeply deluded they are, as evidenced by the apparently genuine belief that Trump is going to be reinstated as POTUS any day now. They’re not just removed from reality; they’re more like anti-reality.

Well … yeah.

:smiley:

It’s a cult. That’s the genuine explanation.

Sane and rational. How refreshing. How rare.

There’s a qualitative difference in speculating about how Trump may be about to be arrested for his pretty obvious crimes, which is the sort of event that happens every day in the US, and thinking that Trump will be reinstated as president two years after losing an election and leaving office, and will be jailing and executing everyone in the Democratic Party for Treason&Pedophilia, which is something that’s never happened in the entire history of the United States, even including the Civil War.

Caution doesn’t get clicks. Social media is cultural poison.

I was specifically referencing this thread and others like it. Or do you consider a message board to be included in “social media?” (I don’t.)
