Too Stoopid Twice

Bob Cesca: "Trump always makes things worse for Trump."

45* was too stoopid or too stubborn - or too stubbornly stoopid - to get after COVID, making it nearly impossible for him to get re-elected, which made it even more nearly impossible for him to make the money he needs now to keep his sorry ass afloat.

So...


Trump's personal Boeing 757 was always the crown jewel of his wealth -- the ultimate sign that he had made it. He's used it as a backdrop for sleek photo shoots, campaign rallies, VIP tours, for shots of him eating his Big Macs and KFC, plated, with a knife and fork. Trump loved to show it off -- the customized cream-colored leather seats, gilded bathrooms, the seat buckles layered in 24-karat gold.

But today it sits idle on an airport ramp in Orange County, New York, about 60 miles north of Manhattan.


One engine is missing parts. The other is shrink-wrapped in plastic. The cost to fix and get it flyable could reach well into the high six-figures, a price-tag Trump doesn't appear to be dealing with right now. Though the current state of his finances aren't public, the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the hospitality industry home to so many of his businesses.

  1. No matter the hard luck stories written with him as the subject, I cannot muster even the smallest semblance of sympathy for that turd in a wig.
