Sorry that I made the whole Trump airplane part of my post unclear. I seriously doubt Trump rents out his big plane, the one that costs that much.

You’re right Trump does not rent out his 757-200

Total hourly cost is around 10,000 with roughly half to jet fuel

Hilary’s rented Falcon is around 6000/hr

Trump can afford the indulgence

My dad owned all sorts of planes up to Navajos and King Airs but his last personal birds were Beechcraft Dukes which were the Corvette ZR1 of their day......very fast and high ceiling turboprop

But it too was an indulgence he could afford

He could a been functional with some cheaper Piper or Cessna

That’s what planes are

A balance between cost and practicality and performance and even prestige but it boils down to what one can afford
