And Jill is First Lady. She can't hop in the car and drive the dogs to Delaware anymore. She is driven everywhere by the Secret Service now.

He’s early 30s and it’s a bitch. It’s been like 6 months. I’m sure Joe is not healed.

Not sure whether he can afford to fly it any more, or if it's been repo'd.

The plane has been in storage at Stewart Airport in New York since 2019, and Trump hasn’t been keeping up on the maintenance for the plane, since he expected he wouldn’t need to actually use the plane until 2025 at the earliest....

There has been a search for a Rolls-Royce RB211 engine that’s needed for one cycle (one takeoff and landing), which would be enough to get the plane out of Stewart. The plane would then fly to a maintenance facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where the plane would undergo significant maintenance. The conclusion here is that once Trump’s plane flies to Louisiana for maintenance, it also means he realizes that will be his primary form of transportation starting in January, which also means he realizes he won’t be president anymore.

So it’s worth keeping an eye on the movement of N757AF.

Personally I wouldn’t assume with 100% certainty that he’ll get his 757 back into airworthy condition. There are a variety of reasons he might choose not to fly the plane, with factors ranging from finances to where he may choose to relocate post-presidency.

I know he would like to take the train but the fuckers have made it so he has to have extra security. But I've made that drive from DC to Wilmington, it's not a bad drive at all!

But it's Air Force One because the president is in it. A Piper Cub with the president in it would be called Air Force One.

There's a theory (I hesitate to glorify it with that word) going around that it's significant that he hasn't been on Air Force One yet, it's a sign that he's not really the REAL President and the military won't let him use it, they're just waiting for the mass arrests and executions, any day now...
