You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House.

The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself.

And you paid for it. The total cost could be billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.
