Trump’s Son Just Rode On Air Force One And It Didn’t End Well
You would think that with the heavily reported controversy over the costs of President Trump’s frequent and extravagantly expensive trips to Mar-a-Lago at massive taxpayer cost, that his son Donald, Jr. would have a little more discretion when he hops on board Air Force One for a free ride.
But, nooooooo, Junior had to flaunt his first ride on the Presidential jet by posting on Twitter and Instagram for all the world to see.
Leaving Air Force One after our trip back from Florida with @realdonaldtrump. Incredible… https://t.co/2Z414oRWzd

Of course, the folks on Twitter let him know what they thought about getting to ride on Daddy’s big plane:
Might be your last trip on it. Criminal

With the amount of bankruptcies, i would say silver plated spoon, not full silver

With a record deficit & $20 trillion in debt, your family spending $84 million of Tax payers money on your family vacations so far is wrong!

We hate all of your family and will rejoice on impeachment day when you all have to leave America in shame.

Hope you enjoyed the taxpayer funded vacation while millions are homeless, starving, can't get basic services. Is this #makingamericagreat

I want my money back … I'm tired of paying for your vacations at properties that you own. Stop lining your pockets w/taxpayer $$$

There are lots more scathing replies on Twitter. Perhaps Junior will keep his boasting to himself next time.
