It wasn't his plane
I'd have to do some digging, but I recall that a year or two back, his plane was not flight worthy due to lapsed maintenance. Sound familiar?
This plane was donated for single flights.
And now he is asking for donations to buy a new one. Wait, I thought he was rich enough to buy his own. It's a grift. It has always been a grift.
Meanwhile, the governor of Florida has signed a bill authorizing him to have his own private jet using taxpayer money.
The Kleptocracy proceeds.
