Former President Donald Trump is asking his supporters for money for a new “Trump Force One” airplane after his private jet was forced to make an emergency landing this weekend.
Less than an hour after Politico broke the news that Trump’s plane was forced to land in New Orleans shortly after takeoff on Saturday after one of its engines failed, Trump sent an email to his donors begging for money to “build” a new plane.
“Do you remember Trump Force One?” the email reads. “Before becoming the greatest President of all time, I traveled the Country in my plane, known as Trump Force One. I have a very important update on my plane, but I need to trust that you won’t share it with anyone: my team is building a BRAND NEW Trump Force One.”
“The construction of this plane has been under wraps — not even the fake news media knows about it — and I can’t wait to unveil it for everyone to see,” the message continued.
The fundraising email included a GIF of a plane taking off and gives potential donors the chance to “see the new Trump Force One” by clicking an embedded link. The link, however redirects to a donation page where recipients can make a monthly donation between $5 and $2,500 to the Save America JFC PAC.
The page does not have a photograph of the Trump Force One that the initial email claimed recipients would see.
