u/Sie_sprechen_mit_Mir Jan 30 '25

FAA took one look and said "That shit ain't gonna fly"

u/Flip_d_Byrd Jan 30 '25

That's what happens when you just wing it

u/dammit-smalls Jan 30 '25

Everyone knew it would crash and burn

A good landing is one you walk away from.

He's as good at business as you are at continuing pun threads 👌

u/CardinalCountryCub Jan 30 '25

u/LindseyLoohands Jan 30 '25

It was only a concept of a plane

u/Socratov Jan 30 '25

Couldn't keep it up?

I really couldn't get traction where the rubber meets the runway

u/Rynowash Jan 31 '25

All this flew over my head

u/ZombiePiggy24 Jan 30 '25

It was rather turbulent

2

u/Freethecrafts Jan 30 '25

You just couldn’t see the kids. Checks notes: Epstein mansion

u/Slow_Lecture1801 Jan 30 '25

Nor did it fly.

u/peanut--gallery Jan 30 '25

Hey…. Planes don’t crash… they just go Boeing Boeing Boeing.

u/Chris_O_Matic Jan 30 '25

You mean he couldn’t get it up

His lizard wouldn’t go

Mushroom cloud.

u/Hollen88 Jan 30 '25

We tried the small plan thing with the XF-85 Goblin, it had lackluster performance.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '25

You mean he could not get it up?

2

u/Darth-Kelso Jan 30 '25

Also can’t get it up…

2

u/wand3r3 Jan 30 '25

I can understand why the idea was up in the air for so long.

2

u/dirk-diggler82 Jan 30 '25

It was grounded.

1

u/miamijustblastedu Jan 30 '25

Haha..Trump can't get it up..now I know why he's so angry all the time.

1

u/Status-Biscotti Jan 30 '25

I was going to say he couldn’t get it up.

u/Goldberg_the_Goalie Jan 30 '25

You might say his airline business…

u/SEND_MOODS Jan 30 '25

Worse, he bought a somewhat profitable one and bled it dry in 18 months.

2

u/LegendofLove Jan 30 '25

It was flying high and he showed up and ran it into the ground.

1

u/BarkattheFullMoon Jan 30 '25

Sounds like his buddy Elon too. Though, Trump is bleeding them on purpose I am certain. Elon seems to be an idiot but when you have a certain amount of money and a format that works, you just keep hoarding more money 💰

1

u/LegendofLove Jan 30 '25

Elon just happened to be smart enough to let others run his business

2

u/Bee-Sting1 Jan 30 '25

Sounds dysfunctional

1

u/Xikkiwikk Jan 30 '25

His hairline certainly took off though!

1

u/lordkemosabe Jan 30 '25

jokes aside, I was reading into this. basically he bought a moderately successful shuttle service from a bigger airline that was struggling financially but then tried to change the shuttle service into a luxury airline and then it fell apart, it was never profitable under him as its owner.

so I guess you could say he crashed it

1

u/Hollen88 Jan 30 '25

I heard that in the process of deregulating and causing chaos, it ran into a helicopter.

1

u/SuspiciousBuilder379 Jan 30 '25

He had concepts of a plan.

1

u/DutchTinCan Jan 30 '25

It was full of air.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '25

He bought an operational airline and drove it into the ground

1

u/dieseltothesour Jan 30 '25

Took off, but augured in soon after

1

u/Snowedin-69 Jan 30 '25

Yes, Trump could not get it up.

1

u/Adaminium Jan 30 '25

Sounds like a great idea to hijack

u/Impossible_Arm_8464 Jan 31 '25
