Glory days of Trump's gold-plated 757 seem far away as plane sits idle at a sleepy airport

I wonder if he can even pay the storage fees much longer....I know when I wanted to store furniture in a temperature controlled facility it was $200 a month....storing a plane has to cost some $$$$

1. Hey, a little respect: At least there seems to be air in the tires.

It's not up on blocks.

But, just a matter of time before it's parted out for quick cash.

2. It was built in 1991 and apparently he can't afford to fix it.

And come on, is it worth fixing a 30-year-old plane that he bought used anyway? He's not campaigning anymore. That thing is going to get parted out soon to save the storage fees which have to be thousands a month.

Bet on it.

And he's talking about starting his own media platform like twitter to get his message out there.

Yeah, right. He can't afford to fix his white elephant plane but can come up with millions to start a media outlet.

I'll file this in the "I'll believe it when I see it" department.

3. Time for Melania to shoot a new nude series on that dilapidated sky jalopy

4. Do you realize that makes it a tax deduction?

Probably the reason for the nude shoot in the first place.
