Every time I see the Trump B757 I am reminded that Trump bought the Eastern Airlines Shuttle, renamed it the Trump Shuttle, said he was going to make it a ‘diamond’ - and then promptly ran it into the dirt.

Cheap suit, sleazy New York blowhard.

I have the Eastern Airlines stewardess uniform. It was handed down to me and it looks great on.

I decided to research Trump’s business failures and most of the top 10 are laughable. As for the shuttle, seems he needs to learn his market. He has his own ideas of what something should be but in real life, not the billionaire life, where things just aren’t required.

” A lack of increased interest from customers (who favored the airline for its convenience not its fancy new look) combined with high pre–Gulf War fuel prices meant the shuttle never turned a profit. The high debt forced Trump to default on his loans, and ownership of the company was turned over to creditors. The Trump Shuttle ceased to exist in 1992 when it was merged into a new corporation, Shuttle Inc. No word on whether the gold-plated faucets survived the merger.”

He is a top competitor. I wonder how many bankers will vote for him.
