The 747s left at Boeing by Russia will be done about the same time. His Insufferable Idiocy would take a dumpster full of giant pigweed if it was smothered in flattery. Look up giant pigweed, it’s actually a fit gift for that bad excuse of a human.

Amaranthus makes a decent salad/pot herb. Like Portulaca, it is disparaged by the wealthy westerners, but is chock full of vitamins A and C.

If the plane won't be ready with the upgraded security systems until just before he leaves office why bother? Wouldn't they have to take all that tech out before 'gifting' it to his 'library'?

And are WE paying for the two planes on order and the security upgrades for the bribe plane? I think it’s time for taxes in escrow.

Good question!! I was thinking along those lines as well. What a waste of time and money.

Wow there is a lot more to making a Boeing airliner into Air Force One than I knew.

Meanwhile, millions of children went to bed hungry tonight, and hundreds of thousands of people are living in cardboard boxes because they have no home. 😢 This world has its priorities f*cked up!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...

Why the hell would WE pay for HIS jet? Have his adoring MAGAs pay for it. Hell, they're already paying for his coins and tweets and everything else.

We could look at it that it is a Boeing.

Even Al Capone put on a facade of innocence. Trump doesn't bother.

I imagine that with Pam Bondi writing the appropriate legislation Agent Orange will try and have the Emoluments Clause repealed. Unless that happens, this is yet another impeachable offense. Also an offense against good taste.

Wasn't there an episode of the West Wing dedicated to this? (Yes, there was; the gift was a flag.)

Mystery Train, a wonderful film by Jim Jarmusch with excellent performances by Screaming Jay Hawkins and Joe Strummer. And a small role for Steve Buscemi. The Japanese couple are hilarious, as is the bellboy. Listening to Screaming Jay, with Tom Waits up next.

$400 million gift, he’s moving up the ranks of grifters. Plus a security nightmare, the plane has to be essentially taken completely apart and checked mechically, for spy devices, etc. Just give it to him when he leaves office.

The USA has become a cross between a Dollar General store and a Big Lots - check out the orange one's wish list and pay your crypto or stoke his fragile ego. Will the USA ever recover from this?
