Former President Donald Trump floated the idea of repainting his private Boeing 757 plane to resemble Air Force One and fly it around the country "as a way of taunting" President Joe Biden, according to a new book.
The reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa write in their forthcoming book, "Peril," that Trump raised the idea to his golfing friends on at least one occasion. Insider obtained a copy of the book ahead of its September 21 release.
"The American people love that plane," Trump said after one golf session, according to the book. "I am thinking of getting it repainted red, white, and blue. Like Air Force One, the way I think Air Force One should look."
Trump said the aesthetic of Air Force One was his "brand," the authors write, quoting Trump as saying: "I don't do the corporate jet thing. I'm not going to show up in a little Gulfstream like a fucking CEO."

(93,844 posts)Trump has show no ability to develop, much less implement, strategic plans. Strategic thinking would requiring developing a plan to meet a goal...and then carrying it out. Trump has impulsive thoughts (on the golf course or elsewhere) and then never follows up on them.

(36,362 posts)Which makes this even more laughable. He can't even afford to get the damn thing in working order, let alone give it a new paint job. And, it's not like Biden gives a rat's ass about how he paints that hunk of junk.

May have had to strip out the gold faucets to pay for fuel when it was running.
I did see him falling out of a Learjet or something. Probably not even his. Doubt he can afford a Gulfstream these days.

(24,320 posts)According to what I just read, it does have one engine removed awaiting either repair or replacement.
The mere fact that it hasnt moved in 2 years tells me he cant afford the upkeep any longer.
Storage alone is likely running several thousand a month.
Various flight tracker sites do not carry flight logs or movements per the owners request, which started in 2015.

Why wouldn't he want to paint his plane to match his bigly new idea for Air Force One?

Let him (it'll probably never happen) paint his plane and stick his name in big letters on it. It'll look like the no-class cheap trash he is famous for.

And...I thought he WAS a fucking CEO.

(2,375 posts)I'm not going to show up in a little Gulfstream like a fucking CEO."
is a tell and a half.
Part of the reason he barely travels NOW is because he cant do it bigly on the publics dime. His actual passenger jet-sized personal plane is rusting away out in the open on a tarmac (its safe to assume that this is probably due to an inability to afford a dedicated hangar to spare it from New Yorks harsh environmental elements) in upstate NY. The repairs it needs are well over a million dollars worth and that kind of liquidity isnt in his wheelhouse. LOL.
So when he DOES travel? Its in a little Gulfstream like a fucking CEO." LOL! Hes embarrassed. 😂😂😂

I've heard owning an airplane is worse than owning a boat and you gotta use the boat all of the time or things just break.
