02sled Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yup... By law he thinks he is required to accept something like $1. They can keep the other $399,999 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 A good example that all those in Congress should follow given they have the means, which is probably 90% of them. Would be a good step to show the country that they are serious about the fiscal situation we are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebsell Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 That's how you lead by example. Around here the first thing they do after an election is raise taxes and cut services and give themselves a fucking raise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I certainly don't expect this transition from a "status quo" Presidency to this one to be completely painless for America. But I think things like this start to show some doubters what voting in somebody other than a career political lackey may bring to the nation. A successful business team runs things much more efficiently and knows what it tales to grow and succeed.efficiently. I honestly believe we're gonna see some great trade deals, some excellent paths for business to start and grow (and profit), and some companies to either suspend their plans to leave or maybe consider coming back (that's a tough one though). I'm hoping we can maintain and even grow some numbers back into the manufacturing sector, union strangleholds will diminish even more than they already have and bring more opportunities to aspiring workers. Ahhhh......private industry growth with real career, decent paying jobs....it's what the doctor ordered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for such a big and inefficient plane these days. Trump maybe will give those boeing employees in south carolina an order once he is prez.

02sled Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Isn't that 747 set up as a mobile office / command centre and not just transportation. Seems to me I saw something about it being intended to be able to be in essence the mobile White House. Maybe replace it with a twin engine Cesna. As for comfort it's probably a step down from his own 747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a full on military command and control center with all the defenses built in accordingly with the guise of a commercial/private type charter. It is not going anywhere, anytime soon. I couldn't imagine what it would take to fit a new plane. Much better off retro-fitting this one. I'd bet it will get used less under Trump than it did under Obama though....much less. Something to watch for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
