Well, I will say I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to find a private airstrip that can accommodate a 747, if such a thing exists, which it likely does not.
But seriously, Donald Trump had better own something smaller than a commercial heavy passenger aircraft like Trump Force One, because if he plans to light out for the territories his chances are becoming slimmer by the second.

Imagine "John Barron" trying to purchase a Gulfstream on the down-low. LOL

Trump's rickety jet is a Boeing 757-200 and was built in 1991. That's 32 years of take-offs and landings. Landings especially are hard on aircraft frames. smile

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

It is? My bad, I guess I assumed it was a 747 haha.
Well anyway, it did SIT for almost a decade tagged as not airworthy and suddenly Trump poured a few million into it to get its certificate restored.
This much I DO KNOW, you have to have an A&P (airframe & powerplant) mechanic go through it with a fine toothed comb if you parked it with a non-operable tag and it is costly.

Donald Trump faces six looming trials. Many of the trials overlap with key presidential primary election dates.

First up is the NY Civil suit against the Trump Organization | October 2, 2023

New York Attorney General Letitia James last year sued Trump, his company and two of his sons, accusing them of inflating the former president’s assets on financial documents by as much as $3.6 billion a year to get better terms from banks and insurance companies. An appeals court on Sept. 28 denied a last-ditch effort by Trump to delay the trial.

Trial Judge Arthur Engoron has already handed state Attorney General Leticia James a summary judgement victory finding Donald Trump liable for fraud. The judge then ordered the cancelation of all business certificates issued to the Trumps under New York law, raising questions about whether he’ll be able to maintain control of Trump's biggest assets.

The trial will now resolve the six remaining claims in the case, including issuing false financial statements, conspiring to falsify business records and insurance fraud. The judge will also decide on penalties. James wants Trump to hand over $250 million in allegedly ill-gotten financial gains. She’s also seeking a ban on the Trumps serving as officers of New York-based companies.

Trump's comptroller testified today that the "worthless clause" Trump keeps on bring up as a defense, is actually from his accounting firm Mazers. It's Mazers saying "this report is worthless because Trump changed our numbers." The documents even contain added notations that the final evaluations have to be approved by "DJT", Donald J. Trump. (Then he admitted Trump was worth MUCH less than he claimed. No wonder he loves George Santos so much.)

So this is very like Trump claiming the Presidential Records Act says he can keep anything he wants. Both complete fabrications. Works for talking to true believers. Not so good for court, since his claims actually amount to confessions.

Trump is accused of changing the evaluations of his properties drastically for paying taxes and applying for loans. The Florida tax assessor said Mar-A-Lardo was worth $26 million. Then Trump sent his lawyers to court to claim it was worth much less because of all the property covenants. So the judge said, "Okay, how about $18 million." So Eric went on a rant the other day claiming it was actually worth over a billion. He just admitted to the fraud, but claimed it was a much greater fraud! The best fraud! The biggest fraud ever!

Colorado is now in the news

Colorado judge paves way for trial on whether 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump from office

https://www.yahoo.com/news/colorado-judge-paves-way-trial-230139113.html?.tsrc=1026


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
