It seems as though Donald "Enormous Balls" Trump misses the days when he was fake running for president and fake caring about birth certificates; since then, the living hairpiece has begun reasserting himself into political conversations, criticizing Obama, handicapping the Republican candidates, and even fake flirting with a 3rd party run. But who cares about all that when we can take a peek at the "yards and yards of gold silk" inside his private 747 Trumplane!
Trump posted a video tour of the incredibly classy and not-at-all over the top plane on his YouTube channel today. In the video, Amanda Miller (the secretary from The Apprentice) woodenly takes us on a tour of the Rolls Royce-powered plane to the soundtrack of some cheesy Cribz-esque music. The seats are embroidered with the Trump family crest! The seat belts (along with everything else) is 24-karat gold plated! There are thousands of Trump-approved movies available! The guest bedroom has mohair!
And best of all, the master bedroom is covered in those "yards and yards of gold silk." What else would be appropriate for the man who eats his pizza with a fork and knife? Watch the video below:

Quiet, peasant. The Donald is going to need someone to scrub the toilets on this crate....so shut your ungrateful gob and get to work. If you do a really good job, after five years, The Donald will give you a brush. How is that for "trickle down"?
I like his old 727 better. It had that cool 3 engine retro style.

As much as I hate to seem like I'm defending Trump, the Rolls-Royce that produced the engines has nothing to do with Rolls-Royce the car company.

What? No gold leaf and Louis XIV furniture? I has a disappointment.

Rolls-Royce engines? So much for Trump's "buy American" jingoism. And who is this "Amanda Miller" on the video? She must have slept with somebody important to get that assignment, because she moves totally without poise or grace. She wouldn't be able to get a job as one of the models on The Price is Right.

She was on "The Apprentice" - whatever the hell that is. And most engines are RR I believe. I still can't get over the fact that Trump has "favorite movies" since it's hard to believe the guy ever enjoys himself. Seriously, he terminally looks like he's about to take the world's most painful shit.
those rich russians sure know how to class it up ghetto style.

One of Trumps favorite movies is "Air Bud."
In all seriousness though, a 757 is pretty ghetto. 747 or GTFO - am I right?

A380 or bust. You can't be a good presidential contender if you can't make it look like a step down to have to start flying in one of the VC-25As that are normally AF1.

Airbus? Seriously? A french plane for the man who knows what's best for America? I don't think so. (Not that Boeing isn't outsourced to all over the world know - which is why they can't bring in a plane on time...)

Problem with the 74 is it won't fit in the 75's parking space at LGA.
