Would this be enough to make TSF turn down the Qatari jet?

Remind him all presidential gifts are the property of the US and by all means accept it because AOC and Bernie will look great in it.

The future home of his library. Plenty of accommodations for his accomplices, no place for books.

to be a good sport grumbling on the inside. Turned out to be really a great tour and I enjoyed it immensely. It would be even better if you could see TSF behind bars.

Very historical. I also found it somewhat unnerving almost scary. But a helluva hunk of real eastate.

Appropriately accentuating the Orange. A wish, per chance to dream. I’d think a coed wing would be appropriate. My one nominee would be the absurdly corrupt Aileen Canon. My two nominee would be absurdly corrupt 59 year old twice divorced graduate of Stetson Law Blondi Bondi.

And on loan to/housed in the applicable presidential library. Which is what he intends. (Aside from all of the big ethical issues/security retrofitting issues) the only post-presidential issue is whether he can be prevented from just pretending it is his own private jet.

Most Esteemed Donald J. Trump Biggest And Best Presidential Library in The Entire Universe means that he won’t personally benefit from it. That would guarantee that Donny and his family would be the only ones using it for years and years.

Plus, if there ever is a Trump Presidential Library, I’m quite sure all it will be is a shrine with a massive gift shop.
