In May, Conover reported that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem planned to buy a luxurious Gulfstream V Jet to the tune of $50 million taxpayer dollars for her personal use. That was disgusting enough, especially given the Musk/Trump supposed concern for government efficiency and getting rid of waste and abuse (even though it was always a load of BS).
Somehow that $50 million has turned into “a little over $172 million” and the purchase of one luxury jet has turned into two, according to documents posted to a public government procurement website and reviewed by The New York Times. The second luxury jet is for “other top officials,” The Times said. I’ll bet means there’s a luxury jet for Noem’s globe-trotting pal and “special government employee” “adviser” Corey Lewandowski, too.
“It was not immediately clear where the funding for the jets came from,” The Times said. You can be sure it didn’t come out of Trump’s golfing budget or the gold leaf he’s slathering all over the White House or his Marie Antoinette ballroom.
