For a real bargain at only $50 million… (yes this was likely more money laundering/illegal campaign contributions/bribes)
Oh man, I can’t imagine the cost to get the smell out of the seats.
So, how many more jets must be sold before he can pay all of his court mandated fines?
One of the less popular lyrics from Mr. Tamborine Man
I think you meant “Blowin’ In The Wind”, but still, points.
Hahahaha broke bitch had to sell a plane. I wonder how much he owed on it…
That was Eric’s plane. Now he has to take the bus.
A short bus?
The plane, a 1997 Cessna jet,
This is NOT the Trump passenger liner with Trump livery on it. That is a Boeing 757 a MUCH larger plane.
Oh man, c’mon Boeing, do your thing.
The 757 isn’t part of the fuckery. The McDonnell-Douglas merger that supposedly doomed Boeing’s engineering department (and hundreds of passengers so far) happened in 1997, six years after Trump’s plane was built. It’s part of the good airplanes Boeing used to make.
This cannot be emphasized or repeated enough. Before the acquisition, Boeing was led and run by engineers. After the acquisition, MBAs and Finance people were put in charge.
This happens at all large companies, eventually, and it’s why they all inevitably shit the bed. It’s just in this case, it’s killing a lot of people in the process.
It’s the basis of Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal novel, a biting send-up of modern corporate kleptocracy.
Also a BBC miniseries.
Gods I love Going Postal. I remember reading it when I was much younger (almost two decades ago) and loving it, but had forgotten enough of it that it almost felt new during my current reread of the Discworld series. Now I’m on Making Money and it’s just as good.
Gotta scrape up cash for those legal fees.
Oh no, not Trump Force One!
