Trump was not the jet’s first owner. Boeing 757-2J4ER first flew in May 1991. In 1995, it was bought by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen and served as a corporate runabout for his various interests. In 2011, it took the place of Trump’s former plane, a Boeing 727 built in 1969. See how Trump is being whisked around in complete luxury. Anybody that says money is not good is such a LIAR!
