    I’ve been inside a jet that was a “sultan’s” and it was tacky af. Nothing in there was cool, not even a little bit. Gold everywhere just because, hideous religious murals, tassles and gaudy fabric everywhere. Everyone else i know who saw it said the same thing. This aircraft had a fucking operating room in it because this person traveled with a surgeon like most normal people.

    It was a disgusting display of wealth and really that people this rich often have no taste. I’m sure this is no different.

      I know rich people can be very extreme with their health… but if you travel with a surgeon and have an operating room in your private jet I’m gonna assume you’re up to some really nefarious shit

      HitlerPig is well-known for his gaudy bad taste. Years ago, before he stole the presidency, I saw him give a walkthrough of his HitlerPig Sty in NYC, and it was horribly ugly. Lots of dark red velvet and gold.

      Just look at the pictures of the Oval Office, now that he’s pimped it out with random gold trinkets.

    The tackiness isn’t the issue, it could be covered in bright pink fur and that still shouldn’t be the main story

      But if you constantly generate headlines discussing everything BUT the fact that the big Nugget got a half billion dollar bribe you can eventually normalize it.

    Whos paying for the fuel because the heavier the aircraft the more fuel it uses?

      Taxpayers. It’s always taxpayers. All the cost with none of the benefit. Taxation without representation.

        Taxation without representation

        Maybe I’m taking this too literally, but… Huh? Half our representatives suck, but they are the ones voted in.

          Don’t think any of our reps voted on him getting a new air force one much less one from Qatar.

        We will also be paying twice. Remember, we are already paying for the original Air Force One replacement that’s still being built.

        Only the working taxpayers. The wealthy ones aren’t expected to contribute, they have their own planes to maintain.

    First order of business is a walkthrough with one of those Gordon Ramsay sperm finder flashlights from Hotel Nightmares.
