Accepting a statue is not the same at all as accepting a 747 jet.
President Cleveland can only equally enjoy the Statue of Liberty as much as anyone else. Trump would enjoy that plane infinitely more than the rest of us.
If the plane crashes and takes Trump with it, the rest of us would enjoy it infinitely more.
You best believe that for as long as Trump’s using the plane he better make sure that he doesn’t speak ill of his benefactors, otherwise that plane is likely to suffer an accidental de-planing.
Thats the scary thing about this. Not only is making it AF1 capable going to be a multi years long retrofitting process, costing millions upon millions of dollars alone, but it’ll still be questionable in regards to kill switches and snoopers.
There is literally zero chance that the bribe plane will be considered secure enough for the president before 2030, which makes Trump saying he would keep it after leaving office a confession that it is a personal bribe.
You optimists never cease to amaze me!
Hey, the Saudis might have put in a kill switch together with all their listening devices.
Honestly I’m hoping for Rapid Unplanned Disassembly the first time it hauls his dumb ass into the air.
That would be so RAD…
I bet he totally got special access to go up to the crown or torch whenever he wanted.
Checkmate!
Especially if his plan is to keep it for personal use, rather than as federal property
You mean people can’t just say whatever they want on Twitter anymore! They’re actually going to get fact checked!
Yep. The year is 2016 and we’ve all decided honesty in the media is important.
that fuckin date format tho
And that’s how we ended up with a Cleveland Tower in Paris and Grove-a-Lago just outside Nice.
Fuck Ann coulter with a klan poster
c/uncommoninsults@…?
What a disingenuous cunt.
She just needs to sit down
I don’t think Grover Cleveland got a lot of personal use out of a 305 foot statue.
Its ridiculous for you to say something so dumb, you have no concept of how many miles he put on that statue during the course of his presidency.
Does it have a flared base?
skeptical ER doctor face
I tripped.
Million to one shot, doc. Million to one.
I just sorta fell and it was there and wouldn’t you know it … here we are.
This is true! There no way to know exactly how many miles grover put out in that thing.
Ah, that explains her expression.
Well he collected all the money the statue collects from yours and such right, right.
wat
I was trying to say sarcastically Grover cleavlabd makes money from the people who visit the statue of Liberty. But rereading my comment I’m not sure if I had a stroke or something because it makes no sense.
Which one of you guys went down into the crypt and woke Coulter up for this?
Haha, I was coming here to ask who gave her a blood meal. If 80s movies taught me anything, it was some suspiciously mature looking “teens” that went to party in her tomb.
Come to think of it, I’m a little surprised that Musk hasn’t pulled the feature yet.
Most likely because if he would, it would remove one of the last barriers Twitter has to being sanctioned even harder by eg. the EU.
He said not long ago that they were looking at it as a feature because it consistently kept correcting him and calling him out lol. It was one of his (many) dumb ass tweets where he just said “investigating” or “looking into this” or some crap. I would not be surprised at all if it’s changed or removed very shortly.
I’d also accept that nobody left they’re knows how to remove it
…left *there
My dumb trick for checking, in case it helps another: T(here and there), which also helps with here and hear.
English is dumb, and after writing this out and spelling it several times, needing to correct the autocorrect… it all looks wrong now, and I am questioning my spelling abilities entirely.
Well it was auto correct from swipe typing that got us into this mess in the first place.
I thought this notch anti trump she back on maga again? These people flip flop every day
big difference in accepting a gift on behalf of your countrymen and accepting a gift in opposition of your countrymen.
The big difference really is accepting a gift as the POTUS, and accepting a gift that they keep as a personal item.
Many presidents receive gifts from foreign nationals (with congressional approval). The big difference is they always had to leave it when they were no longer the president (they go to the National Archive). Trump already declared that after he steps down, he will keep it for himself.
Last time he left the White House they took anything that wasn’t nailed down.
Because giving a gift to the whole country, for its help in knowing CK NG the Nazis out of theirs, is exactly the same as giving a personal gift to one person, a Nazi, with strings attached.
It was actually given as a tribute to America from France for ending slavery, the idea was conceived in France right after the civil war, as respect for passing the 13th amendment.
We never should have ended reconstruction…
I wonder if it was a Trojan statue, but the exit got blocked a tree or something, and there’s a few dead Frenchmen inside
You can tour the inside and go up to the flame though
Your joke simply isn’t factually accurate!
I don’t believe Grover took it with him when he left, either.
