'Pure delusion': Trump mocked for claiming his aging 757 is better than Air Force One
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump has taken to claiming that his old private Boeing 757 jet, often referred to as "Trump Force One," is a more luxurious way to travel than the highly modified Boeing 747 used as Air Force One — a claim that really doesn't make any sense, wrote Jeff Wise for New York Magazine's "Intelligencer." "He once toldRolling Stone that Air Force One is 'a step down' from his 757 'in every way.' "Sure, Trump’s plane is big, and it has a shiny new paint job, but from a true private-jet aficionado’s point of view, those are about its only virtues. Trump's 757, Wise noted, was acquired to replace a 727 he had originally bought from his own failed Trump Shuttle airline, which he had purchased from the now-defunct Eastern Airlines.
