    No, it's not. The banks took over the Trump Shuttle when he defaulted on the loans. The banks then sold the business to US Air who eventually sold it to American Airlines last year. The American Airlines Shuttle is still in business.

    Trump Shuttle never made a profit.

    The Pence plane is a 1998 Boeing 737 and you can buy one for under 4 million according to the listings I just looked at. It depends how many miles it flew. Other 737s from 2000 were about 8 million. A 737 comes in various configurations as well. But it's between 4-8 million. So buying it outright is not out of the question for a campaign.

    It's funny that the Trump fanboys are making such a big deal out of this. Did they think Tim Kaine would be campaigning by Amtrak or something?

    Florida and Ohio are far away from each other.

    I don't think it's even paint. Look at the picture. It seems to be a type of plastic wrap they put on the plane, that looks like plastic cut away on the floor.

    This campaign put shiny decals on an old jalopy and these fools are impressed by this.


    Everything about this guy's campaign is mega cringe. He's the guy that wraps a roll of singles with a 100 dollar bill on top and flashes it around town.

    Trump has been funneling campaign contributions into his own companies, so this is just probably more of the same.
    No he hasn't. Use your head.

    He hosts his events at venues he owns. Politicians are legally required to pay fair market value for the use of a venue. That's the law. It's not optional.

    He hosts his events at venues he owns says the guy. Um, yeah, think that over.

    Dude has used campaign appearances on talk shows to argue his Trump University case and flew to Scotland to promote his golf course.

    You have to pay fair market value, but the campaign is supposed to separate from Trump inc. This means he is not getting bids for the lowest bidder.

    Having campaign offices in Trump Tower is a terrible waste of money for a campaign. Because you are paying market rates to be on 57th and 5th. Unless the candidate is making money off rent. Do you think Trump's plane is the cheapest way to fly? It is not. So you if you are Donating to Trump, something like 20% of the donations are going back to Trump business and you are not getting value for those businesses.

    I will give credit to Trump for this he forgave his loans to his campaign.
    http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...nap-story.html

    But through May 31st, he spent at least 15 million dollars of campaign money to business he owns.

    After the wikileak drop, I don't think this is the line of argument you want to be going down.

    This.

    In Avionics history this 737 is highly regarded by many pilots.

    People are clueless when they are saying this plane is old. I hate to break it to you guys but Boeing and other manufacturers are not pumping out planes every year like they do with cars.

    Heck, they don't even make a new model every 5 years.

    They design it the best they can ONCE and put them to service for many many years.

    Age and years is obsolete when discussing a plane.

    Here is NASA's...this particular plane is an icon in avionics.
