Gotta scrape up cash for those legal fees.
- Some was found during the hiding of classified docs under the seat cushions.
  
  In case of a water landing, these nuclear secrets can be used as a golden parachute.
- Nah, that's what his supporters are for. He'll just sell more limited edition NFTs for $100 a pop and milk them. They're basically a dumb golden goose.
The plane, a 1997 Cessna jet,

This is NOT the Trump passenger liner with Trump livery on it. That is a Boeing 757 a MUCH larger plane.
- Oh man, c'mon Boeing, do your thing.
  
  The 757 isn't part of the fuckery. The McDonnell-Douglas merger that supposedly doomed Boeing's engineering department (and hundreds of passengers so far) happened in 1997, six years after Trump's plane was built. It's part of the good airplanes Boeing used to make.
  
  Killing whistleblowers? They're already working on it
  
  Lol
  
  The OG 757s are good shit.
  
  It is the new stuff that you want to avoid.
  
  Gravity
- Is that plane worth $10 million?
"sold"
That was Eric's plane. Now he has to take the bus.
- A short bus?
- Oh good maybe more cities will have nice bus systems
Is that a reasonable price for it?
- $10 million is the approximate value of the jet; the amount it was sold for wasn't disclosed.
  
  Oh, duh. Yes, I should have read the article before asking. Thank you for nicely answering!
  
  He probably sold it for $30 million
  
  Between this stuff and the blatantly inflated Truth Social stock, I would be shocked if there weren't fifty different types of campaign finance violations going on. If you want to launder a donation, this seems like a textbook setup.
I wonder how many children this plane took to Epsteins island for Trump to fuck.
- He probably just fucked them in the plane.
So, how many more jets must be sold before he can pay all of his court mandated fines?

  I think you meant "Blowin' In The Wind", but still, points.
Hahahaha broke bitch had to sell a plane. I wonder how much he owed on it...
Oh man, I can't imagine the cost to get the smell out of the seats.
For a real bargain at only $50 million.... (yes this was likely more money laundering/illegal campaign contributions/bribes)
Oh no, not Trump Force One!
Wouldntve bought it for more than a penny on the dollar
