joe biden handily beat donald trump in the 2020 election so trump had to say goodbye to
air force one however the former president still has a private jet of his own a 100 million dollar
boeing 757 at least that's what it used to be worth the once glorious private jet has
high grade leather seats rare mahogany cabinets and even a bathroom sink made of 24 karat gold
there's just one problem trump's jet is in serious disrepair and lying idle on an airport ramp in
orange county new york even though the plane is exposed to the elements and rusting in the rain
it's still worth millions of dollars the parts alone are worth a small fortune let's take a look
at trump's gold-plated private jet trump's boeing 757 is absolutely massive fitting for a guy with
such a big personality it's 47 meters long and has a 38 meter wingspan that means it's about
three times larger than most private jets trump has appropriately dubbed his flying luxury palace
trump force one but he actually didn't use the jet at all while he was in office presidents can
only fly on air force one trump force one is one of the largest privately owned corporate jets in
the world and it's quite obvious that it's owned by the donald trump has his name plastered on
the side of the jet just in case there is any confusion as to who owns the flying fortress
would you expect anything less from a man who's obsessed with putting his name on everything
trump's 757 is configured for 43 passengers which is significantly less than the 239 passenger
capacity of a commercial 757 18 of the seats on the jet are executive class trump completely
modified his 757 and turned it into a spacious flying mansion trump force one has plenty of leg
room unlike a commercial 757 trump force one isn't just luxurious it's powerful too it's equipped
with two rolls-royce rb211 turbofan engines each engine provides forty thousand pounds of thrust
that means the jet can reach forty one thousand feet in just twelve minutes the interior of trump
force one is decorated in trump's signature style it has customized cream-colored leather seats
rare mahogany cabinets ultra suede ceiling panels and plenty of 24 karat gold oh so much gold trump
must love gold more than gold member the light sockets are gold there's decorative gold trim
throughout the cabin and even the seat buckles are gold even the bathroom is filled with gold
the sink is gold-plated as are the faucets if you were to melt down all the gold found in trump
force 1 it would be enough to cover the outside of a greyhound bus trump was heavily involved in the
design process of the jets interior he contacted an interior design company that specializes in
private jet modification even before he bought the 757 from microsoft co-founder paul allen
it took six months to renovate the 757 into a gold-plated marvel and trump insisted that gold
leaf cover anything metal in the plane's interior the entire process set trump back about 250
thousand dollars we all know how much trump loves to watch tv so it's no surprise that trump force
one is equipped with a state-of-the-art screening room it's about the size of a typical home theater
and comes complete with a 57 inch tv the plane has two bedrooms both of which have ultra luxurious
bed spreads with high thread counts the pillows are adorned with the trump crest something you'll
notice throughout the interior the trump logo is emblazoned on every surface including the
headrest of the opulent leather seats the plane even has a small gourmet kitchen where food can
be prepared and reheated the kitchen sink also has a gold faucet would you expect anything less
when trump used his 757 on a regular basis he employed an entire crew to operate the jet
the pilots flight attendants and kitchen staff were all at trump's beck and call trump's skilled
executive chef often prepared five-star meals before flights of course trump doesn't always
eat like a king we all know how fond he is of fast food trump also enjoyed chomping down on big macs
and buckets of the colonel's finest while aboard his 757 trump force one was spectacular in its
heyday but things aren't so rosy for the jumbo jet today trump hasn't flown his 757 since before he
was inaugurated and he's still not using the plane now that he's left office it's currently sitting
on a runway in need of major repairs we're not just talking about a tune-up it will likely cost
millions just to make the plane operational again one of the rolls-royce engines is missing a few
parts while the other isn't even on the plane it's in need of serious repairs and sitting in storage
shrink wrapped in plastic fixing the broken engine could cost as much as 100 000 and some believe the
total repair bill could be as high as 6 million dollars trump hopes to fly high in trump force
one again someday he recently revealed that plans are underway to not only repair the jet but give
it a complete makeover you might see trump force one grace the skies once again in the very near
future trump expects the jet to be back in service and fully operational by the end of the year
the job won't be easy because leaving the plane exposed to the elements for so long certainly
wasn't a good idea private jets like trump 757 usually aren't left in the open in cold climates
most are sent to warmer areas like arizona or nevada when hangar space isn't available
until trump's 757 is fully operational once more he will have to keep using his 10 million dollar
1997 cessna 750 citation x it might not be as luxurious or powerful as the 757 but it's no
slouch when the cessna 750 citation x was first released it was the fastest business jet in the
world the 750 citation x can reach speeds of mach 0.92 that's just under the speed of sound
it's still quite popular today many millionaire ceos and celebrities use the super midsize jet
on a regular basis it's just not something you see billionaires fly around in very often
gulf streams and learjets are simply more popular with people who are worth billions
like the 757 the cessna 750 citation x has two rolls-royce engines each engine provides more than
six thousand pounds of thrust the citation x was quite groundbreaking when it was first released
as it was the first aircraft from cessna to use rolls-royce engines and fully integrated avionics
trump's cessna 750 citation x isn't as flashy as his 757 he hasn't plastered his name across this
one but it's still obvious that it's trump's jet near the cockpit you'll find trump's signature
gold crest trump still gets to travel comfortably when heading to rallies as his cessna 750 citation
x can hold up to nine passengers and has a top of the line interior however you won't find any
gold trim inside this jet here's a fun fact did you know that donald trump is selling one of his
helicopters his 1990 sikorsky s76b is expected to sell for between 1 million and 1.5 million dollars
it's quite obvious that this is trump's chopper because the interior has cream white leather seats
gold fittings and opulent mahogany furnishings trump actually sold another of his sikorsky
helicopters last year for an undisclosed price he used to have three choppers but will soon
only have one that's it folks thanks for watching stay tuned to this channel for more great videos
