    “The campaign had no awareness that the charter plane had been owned by Mr. Epstein,” the spokeswoman said, adding that the charter was commissioned by a vendor that has often been used by the campaign. “We heard about the former owner through the media.”

    Pretty funny, honestly kind of believable that Trump is just so cheap that he coincidentally wound up using the only charter service that would buy a used plane from Jeff Ep's estate.

    Not sure how many private planes get flipped yearly but it was probably only dispossessed relatively recently amongst the lawsuits.

      For any other campaign this would be an PR embarrassment due to the optics. Also - people might get fired. But I love how Trump does whatever he wants without any planning and if there's a fuckup - it doesn't even matter. He's on to the next "no planning" fuckup.

      I thought it was immensely sad how media outlets asked "Why did Trump choose Vance?" and had entire articles answering the question. It's always the same answer to such questions. There's no planning or thought or consideration. Trump is massively stupid, foolish, and impulsive and he sometimes does what last person who whispered in his ear suggested.

    Why do they even care, it's not like the aircraft has some sort of pedo hex on it or something.

    Trump’s own private plane, a 727 named “Trump Force One,”

    The actual funniest part of the article

        What power do they get in return? There's no way Epstein bought a hexed plane that didn't also give him a power!

        Maybe something like the power to kill himself while making cameras malfunction or something.

    It is not the plane nicknamed the “Lolita Express” which Epstein replaced around 2017. The Lolita plane has since been destroyed.
