1. needs swastikas nt

[Autumn]

2. Have the repairs and the paint job been paid for?

[Joinfortmill]

3. Lol! I wouldn't bet on it.

[GoCubsGo]

22. I have my doubts most of the repairs have even been made.

Trump is all about appearances, so the first thing he's going to do is re-paint the damn thing. The cosmetic work is just enough to keep up the hopes of the suckers who have been forking over their money to him, and keep them doing so. It's all a tease.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. My Instinct Says That As Well

I could see him getting a paint job, ONLY, to keep up the appearance of uber wealth.

[llmart]

4. It would be an awful shame...

if the mechanics found some problems they couldn't fix.

[CentralMass]

5. Pant Load One

[Mr.Bill]

6. That plane needs to be searched by the FBI before it leaves the ground. n/t

[marmar]

7. Looks like....

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Is he going to have the flight crew work for FREE?

Gee! Wonder who paid for all the repairs and paint job?

Looks like lipstick on a pig.

[pandr32]

9. Our flag adorns it and shouldn't.

Disgusting.

[kacekwl]

17. No worries it peels off easily depending

on which country he flees to he can add the appropriate flag.

[Emile]

10. We should confiscate it, he is a Russian oligarch sorta.

[DET]

11. Uh huh...

“Trump said his remolded plane looks ‘great’ and could be back in the skies by this fall.” Yeah. I bet.

[niyad]

19. Fall is two weeks away. I wish he was.

[brooklynite]

12. I'd say he's getting it ready for the 2024 Presidential campaign...

If you imagine he's going to use it to flee, consider that 1) it doesn't have range to get further than maybe Iceland and 2) he could just take a charter flight if he wanted to leave tomorrow.

[allegorical oracle]

13. Yep. Getting his Liar Liner all spiffed up. If he flees, wish he'd take along the whole family. nt

[purr-rat beauty]

14. He's a flight risk

Ground him now!

[Tetrachloride]

15. let the plane get completed

Trump can be arrested or extradited or renditioned.

Repaint the plane and give to DOJ

[allegorical oracle]

32. Finished when the shredder is bolted in place... nt

[70sEraVet]

16. I hope it flies as well as most of his business ventures.

[purr-rat beauty]

18. He's a flight risk

Ground him now!

[EarthFirst]

20. Remember when he was grifting in '22 for repairs?

Aside from the entirety; I wonder exactly how much.

[Hekate]

21. Did they get their money up front?

[Angleae]

26. They've more than likely been paid.

With a customer like this, a repair station won't usually do the final sign-off without being paid. Without the final sign-off, the plane stays FAA grounded.

Note: I used to work at a place like this. I've seen this done. Basically it's "You don't want to pay? Fine, we'll keep the plane."

[msfiddlestix]

23. well, ain't that effing special?

And yeah, this psychopath has the world by the tails.

including our world.

this is so fucked iup, I can just spit nails, but instead we have to go pound sand.

and ain't that special too?

[Deuxcents]

24. I keep hoping to turn on tv n see that karma has paid him a visit.

[Brother Buzz]

25. Why is my Magic 8-Ball screaming Mechanic's Lien?

[Baitball Blogger]

27. Where does Trump get the money for this?

[wishstar]

28. He gets $1 million per year and Melania gets $500,000 yearly for travel allowances from US Govt

One of the many perks of former Presidents who also are getting $500,000 yearly for office space rental

[Baitball Blogger]

31. What a crime.

[Better Days Ahoy]

29. Giant flying gold toilet

Except the crap never gets flushed out

[Hotler]

33. Still walking free.
