He hates long flights.

So he doesn't like Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary? What Ryan Zinke wasn't available? Oh, that's right. Ryan had to resign for some pesky little corruption problems.

Shut up Donald. We are so DONE with you.

He will be charging the government and people for every penny he can get away with. Plus a little more.

Junior and his girlfriend Kim Gargoyle to Alaska. He doesn't like long flights or the cold, and October in Alaska can get pretty nippy. Besides, he's going to have plenty of litigation to keep him busy. Flights to Alaska just aren't in his future. By then his stature as "head of the GOP" is going to be severely faded.

... so it's unlikely he'll be visiting there.

He also doesn't seem to like staying in hotels, (other than at his own branded golf resorts, maybe) if I remember from his campaigning habits. He seemed to mostly schedule things so that he got to sleep in his own bed (be it in Manhattan in '16 or the WH in '20)

Plus I guess his style of campaigning to fly in and have an "airport rally" (where he barely mentions the name of the candidate he's supposedly campaigning for) may be hampered somewhat by not having AF1 to use as his backdrop. I guess he can put as tacky a paint job as he likes on his plane in his Drumpf Airline and find how many Alaskan airports and Air Force Bases are willing to accommodate it for a vanity rally with Murkowski's opponent as an opening act.

But more likely he just stays on the golf course.
