DONALD TRUMP JETS & CHOPPERS IN LIMBO
tmz ^ | 1/17 | tmz

Posted on 01/17/2017 8:23:40 AM PST by RummyChick

Donald Trump has a problem on his hands ... what to do with 2 private jets and 3 helicopters. Our Trump sources say the fate of Trump's 757, Citation X and 3 choppers are in limbo. He can't sell them because if he does it will look like he's profiting off the presidency. Likewise, he can't charter them out because it will open the door to criticism that he's getting a POTUS premium. Trump, we're told, will not let the kids use the planes ... they fly commercial and if they choose private it's on their own dime. And putting the aircrafts in storage poses other problems. They need to be maintained, which is a complicated and expensive process ... requiring pilots and mechanics. POTUS problems.

Whoever is running the Trump businesses while he’s president should be able to make use of them. I don’t see the problem, actually. I don’t believe putting them in storage wouldn’t be a huge deal either.

She could use Trumps helicopter but is it safe enough?

It could be, as long as there's no way to easily identify it with her.

Aw nuts! So much for that ideas.

“The average commercial pilot makes $76,000.”

Good lord,that’s not too comforting——I thought that they were paid at least twice that amount.

I don’t think I trust TMZ to give insight into what the President Elect is thinking.

“Commercial pilot” covers a lot of ground, even regional puddle-jumpers.

I don’t understand why he can’t sell them. There has to be a market rate for these craft...just sell them for market rate.

Wait, you mean he CAN’T divest himself of an asset? But that’s what the left was demanding! Of course to be fair, that was a week ago.

Trump can’t do anything because whatever he does he’s going to get attacked by the swamp creatures.

In the meantime the Clinton Crime Syndicate can fly private, using NGO funds, with impunity.

Why cant he sell them?...Obama sold his car.. I remember at the time it was a Chrysler 300 and the Press made a big deal about the guy that bought Obama’s old car how luck he was to have a bit of history

When ever has this been a rule?.. the president gets a house a car and a plane at his disposal... but he can’t sell his personal house and car and if he has one, his plane

Bull ...Obama when he came in he sold his house and he sold his car ...Trump can sell his planes if he wants to
