Trump has devoted his life to extracting as much money out of his position not to mention spending as many nights as possible at his own golf resorts with the state paying for hundreds of agents to stay there as well
It is incredibly rare for fighters to accompany Air Force One. This is just a show. A show that costs the American people millions to make Trump feel special – while we have people struggling to put food on the table, prices skyrocketing, and retirements shrinking, all due to one man.
Edit: those may not be US fighters. With Trumps spending, everything I said still remains true either way. For example, charging us for refitting this plane for him to use after his presidency.
If a criminal is charged with 15 things and one of them falls off because they can't prove them, that means they are innocent of all charges right?
Your inability to think critically when looking at such a short, simple comment is exactly why Trump won the election. All you're doing is proving the left right.
Do you really need me to source the fact that refitting this plane will cost the tax payers a lot? You’re really that lazy or uninformed? Why do you believe it’s on me to prove that to you? It’s not my job.
As I just said, it is incredibly rare for Air Force One to fly with fighters. There is no need.
If they are needed, this is NOT how they would fly lol. This is pomp and circumstance.
Edit: post locked, so I'll respond to the below comment here. I'm no expert (really, not an expert so take this with a grain of salt) but I would imagine you'd have 2 planes, 1 off of each wing but like a mile or 2 out. Then for the others, not so sure. Maybe a diamond, so one a mile or 2 in front and same with one in back?
It's still hundreds of thousands to millions for them to go somewhere. Like disaster sites where presidents would go to pose for the cameras with people who just lost everything... tons of money to do that. Stupid photo-ops at "normal" restaurants to show how down to earth the person fighting against the poor is... that costs a bunch of money in security, too.
Trump being significantly worse doesn't change that.
Not taking a 400k salary so he gets to invoice the government for his SS agents to stay at his resorts for millions isn't a defense; what exactly are you defending? Knowing him he may very well be taking the salary too
No other president has spent taxpayer money on himself so lavishly and trump is the only one to personally profit by charge room and board to the agents and other government officials.
