(27,855 posts)Hope all is going well in your part of the state. It's FREEZING in Flint. Spring arrives at 11:06 pm tonight. Friday we could get 3" of snow. Fingers crossed we don't get one of those freak Easter snow storms!! I'm keeping an eye on the forecast.

I think his followers will understand.

(20,950 posts)During the height of COVID?
TSF will complain he cannot campaign because he is BROKE! So is the RNC!.
I guess no big and splashy party for him.

Then I realized she probably hates him and would certainly be smart enough to know that parking brake thingie was on.
She might even know it's a "boot".

(28,369 posts)The encumbrances on it will mean jumping through a lot of hoops to seize it. So pop another batch of popcorn--we're gonna be here awhile............

A HERETIC I AM
(24,876 posts)And those round things, you mean below the M? Looks to me like they are access hatches. The long looking silvery thing to the rear is almost assuredly the latch to open a baggage bay.

(53,261 posts)Most people who want to buy a B757 want to haul freight in it, and stripping out Trumps interior plus painting it white will cost more than its worth. They could conceivably sell it as a business jet, but people looking for airliner-derived business jets - both Airbus and Boeing make them - are looking for intercontinental range the 757 does not have. IIRC we calculated back in the days we thought Trump was going to flee the country that hed never make any country without an extradition treaty from LaGuardia without landing in England
where, of course, Scotland Yard would be waiting to grab him and send him back strapped to an airlift pallet.
The best use of Trumps jet is as a source of spare parts. Hes got two low-time engines on it and his hydraulic pumps work, so why not?

(42,552 posts)The presumptive GOP nominee for President is desperate for $464M (and counting) which he cannot personally access. That fact alone makes him a massive national security risk; any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price.
