WTFGOP @DogginTrump
Now this motherfucker has plane issues?
I keep telling you all, these clowns are broke. Dont be surprised when they start flying around in planes that have propellers
Cliff Schecter @cliffschecter
In all seriousness, w Vance's campaign plane making an emergency landing 1 wk after Trump's plane did the same...maybe they should spend less of what they raise on Trump's legal bills, more on airplane maintenance?
Vance comparing the size of his plane to AF2.

(24,259 posts)when I chartered a plane for an organization it was like a menu, with certain checks and safety measures optional...so I am sure they bottom lined the deal

(2,583 posts)I thought I saw something here about that. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if Trump is also skimping on maintenance; after all, his plane sat for more than two years at an upstate NY airport, slowly degrading and corroding (harsh NY winters are not kind to aircraft). The main reason it sat there was the plane needed a new engine and other significant maintenance, and Trump was broke. He eventually conned his fans into donating the funds to repaint and restore it to airworthiness.
Trump's plane is basically obsolete. There's a reason so many airlines have dumped their 757s.
