@taylorlorenz @drewharwell it’s the dumbest fucking rule imaginable. if he’s so bruised about it, why doesn’t he just take charter jets like a normal billionaire and no one will ever know?

@scottmstedman @taylorlorenz @drewharwell what we expect him to fly via charter or *gasp* first-class like some peasant, don't be silly he needs some way to piss away all those extra 0's in his bank account plus I'm willing to bet that flying private means he can probably also write off the jet fuel cost as a business expense.
