Following the President’s second and final term, the aircraft will be donated to the Trump presidential library – allowing him to use it as a private citizen. However, he has reportedly denied that he will fly it then.

WHAT?!

That can't possibly be a thing he could do, dude can't possibly just fuckin donate Air Force 1 to his private ownership can he?

What the fuck? Why the fuck is this a footnote? That's something you fucking lead with wtf

Comparing Captain Dipshit to Zaphod Beeblebrox is like comparing hot boiled puke to champagne and caviar.

Why does a library need an airplane? Is it going to be inside the plane? Because a flying library would be pretty rad. Otherwise it’s a ‘nein, leider gar nicht’

Yeah im great with trump buying it for what they had previously listed it for and take possession and pay for it with his private funds and store it and then use it once he is out of office. Not ok with it or its upkeep being paid for by taxpayers.

Presidential libraries are maintained by us taxpaying chumps.

And he'll absolutely be using it later. If he can afford the fuel.
