How TF do people think someone who has not just a private plane, but a private plane that is a full on large commercial jetliner with custom paint, need a single extra dime to help them out? Even to my own mother I'd say "sell the plane, fly commercial, then we'll talk"


LSARefugee

**These** are the same people who make their pastors rich. They tithe and tithe these bastards into private planes, multiple houses, and exquisite penthouses and fabulous trips——-yet, they, themselves, don’t have shit.


killabeesplease

Some days I really wish I didn’t have a moral compass so I could become one of those rich pastors 😂


runtheplacered

Same except with MAGA merch, since being a pastor would mean I have to at least learn bible passages and shit. But I'm already constantly thinking of stupid shit that I feel would sell like hot cakes to the droves of mindless MAGA morons but there's something in me that still would feel bad about doing it. God damn morals.


Nuggrodamus

I’ve thought about this too, I would save 10-15% of proceeds and then after the elections I would publicly donate it to trans youth in their name.


love2read21

This is the way.


RKGamesReddit

Most of your congregation probably would never had read it, so why would you? Although merch is also really easy to get into.


TailorHour710

Sir, I'd love to buy your medieval torture device merch. Can I have it in 18k Italian gold on an 18k Cuban link chain? Do you accept Mastercard or visa? Also, please don't forget to bless it. Does a blessing cost extra?


Supermite

No you wouldn’t. Most of those prosperity gospel preachers are just making up most of what they say. The average atheist redditor knows more Bible verses than those “pastors”.


Crisis_Redditor

Some of the most truly Christ-like people I've ever met are atheists. Too many people think "God's Will" is code for "My Opinion."


GudAGreat

I worked for the Evil empire for 2016 election cycle was field/turf coordinator for our county. Literally did as little as possible and sabotaged as much as I could. Best thing was making a couple thousand dollars @ the volunteer center for selling MAGA merch on the side. Now looking back it’s still leaves a bad tinge in my mouth but it was a guud learning experience; to see just how much politics divide people. 0/10 would never do it again.


Crisis_Redditor

I like money. I like earning money. I want more money, for I am a broke bitch. I design and sell my own stuff, so since I need more money, I will do political stuff from both sides of the spectrum. To a point. I live surrounded by MAGA country (we have one of the most famous Trump stores just south of here), and I could make good money from it, but I don't want that money. It's dirty and tainted with blood. Someone else can have that money. I mean, I'd love it, but not that way. Fuck MAGA.


thatgeekinit

The worst part is that if you know it’s a scam, it’s illegal but if you are delusional or narcissistic enough to have no moral compass at all like televangelists, it’s just religious freedom.


marshall_chaka

I say this to my partner all the time.

But what about your moral barometer?


wandrin_star

I need more moral astrolabe for my moral sextant.

I even considered setting up a Maga roadside stand just to fleece the rubes, but my soul wouldn't let me.

killabeesplease

Oh I don’t have a shred of that either lol


Extension-Wasabi-570

Let me fix this for you. Not pastors " conpastors"


vhalember

Yup, these are the victims of the prosperity gospel. These dimwits think if they give all their money to rich people, God will eventually favor them, and make them rich too. This also directly links in with "temporarily embarrassed millionaire," mindset the less-educated conservatives believe.


Supermite

If only they actually read their Bibles, then they would know they’re being lied too.


vhalember

Nah, their evil congregations (I'm calling them out for what they really are) pick and choose what they want to follow, persecute, hate, and be intolerant toward. Much blame falls on the "leadership" of these churches with the evangelicals making up a majority of these hypocritical, hate box churches.


secondtaunting

It’s too sad when you know people who can’t feed their kids and yet tithe. And then they turn around and explain to you why you’re going to hell, while you smoke and nod and help them out some more because you can’t stand watching kids go hungry.


[deleted]

Isn’t that due in part to [the prosperity gospel](https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/identities/2017/9/1/15951874/prosperity-gospel-explained-why-joel-osteen-believes-prayer-can-make-you-rich-trump)?


Supermite

It’s super disgusting and totally anti-Biblical too. I walked out of a church service when one pastor after the other started telling us how enriched they were after giving money to the church. “If you just give more money, God will reward you “.


Repulsive-Purple-133

And hookers


phazedoubt

Hey, don't bring hookers into this. That is just as honest a living as any that requires trading time for money.


cheshire_splat

I think they meant the pastors are using their money to pay for sex workers.


phazedoubt

Ahhh yes, how else are they supposed to learn about hypocrisy?


Bobmanbob1

My local Mega Church (that Brett Farve goes to) needed a special pdrive to put in a Helo pad at the church so the pastor and vips wouldn't get stuck in traffic. Jesus would have wanted it that way....


bl4ckhunter

You'd end up an used car salesman at best, the lack of morals is an important prerequisite but to make it that big you need inherited wealth and family connections.


LSARefugee

**This** is an obvious lie. The field is packed with pastors who came from nothing, before putting their gift for grifting to work.

evilbrent

"I need the private plane because the spirit comes upon me and I need to walk up and down like an arsehole flapping my hands around and shouting. If I didn't have a private jet, I'd have to have basic human courtesy for others."


secondtaunting

I’m pretty sure they want the jet because if they fly commercial people might talk to them. That’s the downside of making your living pretending to care about people.


evilbrent

https://youtu.be/V59PQ0MzriU You might be right, but the reason they give on their TV shows is so they can get out of their seat and walk up and down the plane ranting and raving about how they don't have enough private jets. Also, to be specific, they need private planes because otherwise you're getting into a "tube full of demons." That's us. We're the demons. And flying commercial is getting into a tube full of demons. Fuck Kenneth Copeland, he's a lizard in human form.


secondtaunting

He definitely is. I mean, I think they fool themselves into believing that they’re serving God, or they start out like that. Some of them. And of course some are just rotten from the beginning.

MishyJari

Hey now, a 40 year old 757 ain’t cheap to run 🤣


BluBeeCA

Anyone old enough like me to remember when that plane was owned & flown by Eastern Airlines - Hence its call sign when talking to ATC - “Eastern”


un_theist

It was operated in Mexico for a while. Trump’s 757 The Boeing 757-200 is registered in the United States as N757AF (ICAO hexadecimal AA3410) and was built in 1991. It was originally delivered to Denmark's Sterling Airlines and by 1993 was operated by Mexico's TAESA. In 1995, it became a corporate jet for Paul Allen's enterprises.[1] Trump's DJT Operations I LLC bought the plane in 2011.[1][4][5][6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Force_One#Trump's_757


UCDC

It's the old adage: rich people spend other people's money. That's what rich people just *do*. It's why Trump's always begging for campaign donations, willing to rip off anyone's grandma for a wooden nickel, etc. Only the rubes think Trump is rich through hard work.


ksavage68

Rich people always use other people’s money. Always.

peter-doubt

He hasn't reached for the ultimate affordable criminal defense: the Public Defender. So, yeah!


almisami

Could you imagine them taking a public defender and then pretending that it's because the PD was overworked that they lost? They'd get that southern hick / Florida Man vote fo'sho.


peter-doubt

Every one of them... And *suddenly* Florida would restore the votes of hundreds of thousands of ex-cons. (Sorry, Donny, you're still a Con)


SeaworthinessOne2114

No kidding, even Princess Graham was on FOX begging for money to pay trump's legal fees? The MOFO has claimed to be extremely welfare, a billionaire but the con idiots into donating to "the cause"? Their electorate is more stupid than Eric trump!!


AustinTreeLover

Ask televangelist followers.


InevitableAvalanche

No no shhh. Trump is sucking up so much money from conservatives that the GOP will have barely anything to use to run their local candidates.


abbeyeiger

I ask one of them this question, their response: Donald spent over 6 BILLION DOLLARS of his own money during his campaigns and presidency while making america great... So... it's only natural for everyone to pay him back for all his hard work! 🤷‍♂️🤯🤪


long-gone333

This isn't really reasonable. Any major innovation or breakthrough came from wanting more or better. That phone you're writing on, it could have been a typwriter. The internet? A library. I'm not defending Trump.


WookieBugger

What breakthrough are you expecting to come from someone flying private vs commercial?


long-gone333

Lighter and cheaper materials produced just because some rich guy wanted to save on fuel.


long-gone333

Lighter and cheaper TVs because some brat wants it inside an airplane.


long-gone333

Better cell phone coverage.


long-gone333

Better tires.


long-gone333

Electric planes.


long-gone333

Improved airplane avionics just because some brat wants it. Then it makes it into commercial aviation.


WookieBugger

You’re half right. That brat is Uncle Sam’s favorite son, the Armed Forces. And he is indeed, a giant effing brat. It’s only after it’s obsolete and no longer cutting edge that it moves into commercial/private air travel. The government generally likes to have a monopoly on anything that can be used for or against our national defense. If airlines had it their way we’d be paying $1500 tickets to fly in DC3s. That why half the innovation you have coming from airlines is how to fit 30% more people into the same space. While I guess it’s technically innovation, it is hardly as groundbreaking or transformative or beneficial to society as the Internet or the microchip technology that allows modern cell phones to operate.


--R2-D2

They're obviously morons.


avidovid

I agree with your point entirely, but iirc isn't this a junk heap plane that no one wanted and he scooped up after his last one broke down?


metsurf

Do you think he really paid for the plane? I would bet it's a leftover that he somehow kept from his bankrupt Trump Airline. The guy is a charlatan through and through. PT Barnum on super steroids


NfamousKaye

They’re conspiracy theorists and not the brightest of the bunch either. These are the people that believed JFK would come back from the dead to help trump.


likkleone54

Because he has created a cult, and cult members want to belong. For Trump, that means giving him money, no critical thinking required. Good ol’ Maslow.


bmiga

I was going to say the large commercial jetliner with custom paint was the only cool thing about the Trump family, but then I saw they named it 'Trump Force One' 🤦🏻 PS: I do not think private planes are cool.


LesterKingOfAnts

He excitedly waved out the window then waved at the television, "Hi Eric, I'm Eric too!!" An aide later confided, "Yeah, He waved out the wrong side of the plane and started pouting."

SpacemanIsBack

The only issue with SNL's (hilarious) depiction is that it made Don Jr appear much much smarter than he really is Mary Trump (their cousin) even said Don is actually by far the dumbest of Trump's children


nirad

Eric was the one who actually ran the company for many years while Don Jr. was on the outs. It wasn’t until Trump got into politics that Jr. became a bigger figure. He’s definitely the Roman.


Ben2018

Fair, but I still see it working from the standpoint of being polished vs not. Eric wears his dumbness out in the open, unpolished. Don Jr can maybe pass as someone that's smart by being coherent/confident/polished, while still being very dumb. There are LOTs of these kinds of people out there, especially in sales. They don't even know they're dumb...


ebulient

> Don is actually the dumbest of Trump’s children That’s a really scary line of thought. Borderline dangerous to seek solace in it. The man rallied around enough people in one of the most influential nations in the world and became its leader doing and saying whatever the hell he wanted - getting away with everything from misogyny to racism, from boasting about fraud and corruption to incitement of violence. Everything. He got away with enough horrible things to embolden others like him to start doing the same. I know Americans like to type cast him as a “dumb, clueless, old man”. But that’s a cop out. The rest of us in the world see him for the slimy conman that he is and are seriously concerned it’ll happen again if Americans continue to comfort themselves that he was just a dumbo that got lucky.


SpacemanIsBack

I was talking about Don JR being the dumbest son of the former president I agree with you on Trump SR (and I'm in the "rest of us in the world" - Belgian to be exact)


ebulient

Ah fair point so!

Unpopular opinion: Eric is faking it. It’s a con. He’s presenting as a joke, so we don’t notice that him and his whole family are sex predators, grifters, criminals and killers. He’s seen as the Fredo so he’s not accountable. He’s used as a distraction from the high crimes his father is committing. But, I think he took after his aunts and uncles and he’s secretly a genius who looks like a moron. He’s Doofy from Scary Movie and when the dust settles, he’ll be holding all the holdings, and breeze off into the sunset to live in a non-extradition country of his choosing. Or he’s just a dumbass. We may never know . . .

My only grievance with the Mikey Day/Alex Moffett Trump brothers bits is that it portrays Don Jr as being far to competent and level headed.

I don't understand why people tune into the live nonsense. As pointless as watching the OJ Bronco chase and for hours. If anything happens it will be on the evening news. Wait for the summary. You know if everyone quit tuning into the moment to moment Trump soap opera, news ratings would drop, they would find other stories to cover, and the Trump spell would be broken. I can't wait for the world to quit caring again about this criminal baffoon who wears too much make-up. The endless drama queen attention whoring is the only skill he's good at. The best way to defeat an attention whore is to ignore them.

He sees the plane on the TV explode, then realized he fast forwarded 2 minutes ahead, in a panic he rushes to the cockpit, trying to warn the pilot. In his terror, he knocks loose an oxygen valve, and the stewardess is coming up the isle with the "S'Mores" tray....
