And that says a lot. Had he the money to do it - flying around in a spiffed up Trump 45 doing his Trump rallies, collecting door revenue and a % of the sales, he would do it in a heartbeat. Nothing says look at me as a guy whol fly around in a 757.

But (1) his balance sheet sucks and (2) he needs to budget for lawyer fees and that will cost more than a brand spanking new 757 painted to Trump's detail.
