It's not like he owns it though, it's just a chartered plane that probably had tons of previous users and will fly someone else tomorrow.
Sure, just another instance of a decades long coincidence with trump and his pedophile friend Epstein.
Total coincidence
So these 5 planes, sold off after Epstein's death and bought by a chartering company cannot be used ever again by anyone, because Epstein used to own them? And people chartering planes have to research the history of the plane their chartering company is offering for their flight?
When you're a former president who is also accused of being a pedophile rapist, yeah, you really fucking do.
No they shouldn't, they should be in prison, not be able to charter any planes.
I don't know, when I get a taxi I don't ask the driver who owned his car previously. Seems very wasteful to consider vehicles somehow bad based on previous owners.
Of course they should be in prison. But we don't live in a sane society, so this is what we have currently.
Are you running for president? Because if so, you probably should be making sure you're not accidentally giving yourself bad press by doing something stupid. But this is the Trump campaign we're talking about, and they can't even be bothered to double check their venue is a venue and not some random parking lot next to a sex shop.
I absolutely agree it's their fault for getting bad press, and that they should have checked in order to not get bad press. I just don't think the bad press is about something of importance, especially that there is no shortage of illegal things Trump did to write about.
