This is at the top of the list of Trump's massive corruption. He's literally stealing money from us. In this case, he's going to spend $1 billion (THATS A LOT OF MONEY!) of our $$ to build himself a luxury plane that he is going to take with him after he leaves. Honestly...
I'm pretty sure CHF and/or dementia will end him before he gets to use it, which would be amazing. What happens to this monstrosity then?
A giant grift
This endless transparent corruption has to have an end point and consequences. How do we turn any of this around? This government and this country are now a banana republic joke.
😡😡😡
WTAF?!? (1) This is what happens when ONE PERSON gains complete and total control over a nation. (2) The $1B could buy a band new American made flying palace!!! (3) #FDT
He’s one giant smelly grifter What can you do about it to stop him?
#NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation #BostonTeaParty2025 #StopPayingFedTaxes #STARVETHERICH
We don’t have money for Medicaid and SNAP, and our deficit is exploding—but we have money for this?
It should be seized the moment he leaves office, is jailed or dies -- whichever comes first. Under no legal circumstances should he or his inheritors be allowed to keep, own, lease or in any way use that aircraft when he is no longer President.
So...FRIGGIN’ DO SOMETHING!!!!
The US has NEVER seen this level of corruption. And no one seems to care.
I think Trump believes that he is the USA, or L'État, c'est moi, as Louis the XIV put it, who died of Gangrene at the age of 76, 3 years younger than Trump is now. They both believed that every penny belonging to their respective nations actually belonged to them personally.
Yup, it's robbery in plain daylight. Of our money. Just like last week when #MikeJohnson sent everyone home in order to protect #Trump from #Epstein questions. We're paying our Republican House representatives to do ... what? "Hell hath no fury like a #taxpayer ripped off."
The fact they are actually doing this leaves me no hope for this country.
Maybe clean your own home first. We have two laws and constitutional protections in CT. One for police and one for police. Groton police has said spitting on someone isn't a crime. youtu.be/xRTG1eRc2bo?...
That's disgusting and a complete abuse of power besides the excessive OT question.
Not to mention fabricating charges to arrest the victims. Barney Fife actually said out loud, while he knew he was being recorded that spitting on someone isn't a crime.
This is definitely a bigger issue than a billion dollar theft. Good point.
Everything is a bigger issue for him. The state of the state is proof positive. If he was the least bit competent and would DO SOMETHING about the plane. You're stupid like him but in his case it's hurting my State you're just annoying
Sticks and stones, loser.
In this case bombs and bullets - murdering at least 20,000 children provided happily by you and your superstar, Murdering Chris Murphy.
Goalpost shifting.
That OR you're too dumb to understand. Could also be both but my money is on you having some sort of chromosomal abnormality/cranial brain abnormality. MurderingMurphy, not so much.
7th grade playground tier. Classic.
That OR you're just another Blue MAGA. Too self absorbed and entitled to care what an evil monster you and those you support are. Could also be... umm 😟 the 7th grade... playground that murdered AT LEAST 20,000 children.
A playground murdered people? Do you smoke your crack with discarded Stephen King rough drafts?
😢
Trump thinks all our tax money belongs to him. 😡
Maybe US state governments should start withholding tax to the feds given public funds are being abused eg ICE, concentration camps and now this plane grift.
Nothing new here he’s a thief! A crook! A felon! What would anybody else expect?

Rachel Maddow did a great segment on this Trump grift last night. Trump plans to keep this Bribery One plane.
Unless Congress authorizes the plane as a gift to Trump, he will be committing a crime if he takes it with him. "Takes it with him" includes his presidential library. Why aren't you also saying THAT?
The plan is not to transfer it to a nonexistent Trump presidential library (which will never exist) but to his personal, private, bullshit "foundation"—which is under no obligation to build anything, much less an official library, nor has any restrictions on what it may use the plane for.
Or this bsky.app/profile/wash...
We know. But honestly I’m worried about concentration camps and a thug army…and how extremist, manipulative Stephen Miller put his nose so up Trumps arse to get all the power.
File articles of impeachment.
who is tracking the emoluments?
How can this be legal??? Shouldn't the plane go with the office? It's like if he renovated the White House using TP dollars and then retained ownership after leaving!
We know
Rachel Maddow show last night said trump is taking the money from the Pentagon that is to go to fixing nuclear silos that are 60 years old to fix his plane instead. www.thewrap.com/rachel-maddo...
Wowzers. The fancy gold embossed jet to match his gold trimmed Oval Office & ballroom that he will keep as his own. Just like the WH he will never leave willingly.
Isn’t that called “embezzlement”??
$934 million, Donald Trump is using your money you paid in taxes, for his own personal use. And, donald Trump and his administration are robbing all funds that help America, so the richest people get even richer, with your hard earned money.
So what are you going to do about it it's nice to know you feel the same as most Americans but you have more power to stop this then we do.
Trump’s Making Russia Great Again, looking the other way as it expands west while he steals US defense funds for the repair of aging nuke silos. Ukraine could fall on his watch, easing further Russian expansion. (The Admin uses China as an excuse. Russia & China are allies.) bsky.app/profile/pama...

Unless the Congress approves the plane as a gift to him, Trump is committing theft if he takes the plane and could be arrested for that crime. Make this known and force republicans to vote for the gift, as in it’s an emolument.
youtu.be/qWUVwFU0DPI?...
The question is not whether he's stealing money from us, as the federal government is a currency creator. The question is why does he get access to those resources and we don't?
Don't let it happen.
How about you at least get it returned to govt upon his death....
How can he be stopped??? I know I will be voting for Democrats! What’s happening is awful!
When do we say, and mean, enough already?
We're witnessing in real time the imperialization of the US Presidency by those who have greater power through extreme wealth and will benefit most. They own major media, influence stock markets, donate heavily to political parties and major elections. They helped pack the Roberts Court.
Someone please contact Ukraine and request one of their aircraft attack drones and blow this thing up. Offer $1M; it will save us taxpayers a buttload of money.
Yet the Dem Party in all its political acumen has somehow convinced the public that they are more corrupt than Trump. Trump! the most corrupt mutherfucker in US history. Hey Sen. You had the gang might want to try something different? Or just stay the course, everyone loves Schumer after all.
This is an impeachable offense. Speak of it in those terms, so that the public understands it.
I don’t understand. Was it given to him personally or the US. If it was him, why are we paying for the renovations; if it was the US, why is he entitled to take it?
Surely there’s some law to stop this!!!!
What an absolute disgrace this man is. It’s a train wreck in real time.
He's not planning to leave.
and they are moving the money to support our nation's defense !
In that case every tax payer should receive an equal portion of that billion dollars as a refund in April 2026.
The corruption is wide out in the open! It's not just Trump and his evil minions. The backers of this regime is white Christian nationalist s.
Why isn't anyone stopping him from accepting until he's no longer President?
I'd put the concentration camps profiteering at the top of the list, myself, Senator, but sure, this might be a good choice as a messaging target. The issue is simple and clear, and there's a visible, tangible object we can focus on. That said, #Epstein #Trump #TrumpEpstein tho
Two things can be true at once.
It’s on us if the felon takes that plane! I thought it was a gift to the American people!
So do something. Anything. Don’t worry if it wouldn’t stand up to a legal challenge, do it anyway. That’s how the GOP are operating - Dems need to do it too. Stop tsk tsking & be bold. Be outlandish. Fight. (And please consider this my reply to any Democratic Rep complaining about anything)
Frankly, old news, NO ONE gives a s*** Two things you need to focus on today: 1: Epstein 2: When you're gonna do this it's called fighting for democracy
Who authorizes this release of funds? why? Teachers can't accept gifts totally over $50 for year - even if have 100 students as High School tchrs - 50 measly dollars as it Could appear to be a bribe from parents - to influence preferential treatment While taking away Sesame St to save $? WTAF??
Not to mention A billion dollars could recover cancer research studies just cut by Trump - restore SNAP food for children - I just don't get how it is even allowable?
Why does he get to keep it if it’s going to be AF1?
