TRUMP'S TRANSFORMATION OVER THE YEARS

Donald Trump recently became the President of the United States once again, as he was sworn into office on 20 January. He has already swung into action by signing a great number of executive orders. As his work schedule only gets busier by the day, there is no doubt that he will be using his private jet more often in order to get from one appointment to the next—especially the Trump Force One.

Here's everything we know about his private plane, and also the special rule that needs to be followed while on board.

The one rule that cannot be broken aboard Trump's private jet

When Donald Trump, who has had some viral moments in past years, boards his plane, he can rest assured that there will be a seat waiting for him and his wife, who is currently working on a documentary for Amazon Prime Video. In fact, Melania's seat will remain free even if she does not accompany her husband on the flight.

Indeed, that's what Israeli-American reality TV star Siggy Flicker told German media Bild in an exclusive interview. The personality, who travelled with the president during his election campaign, said:

He has his own seat and his papers are right next to him. But the seat opposite him is always empty, because that is First Lady Melania Trump's seat. Regardless of whether she is on the flight or not, no one sits in her seat - and the seat next to her always remains unoccupied.

It is no surprise that Trump has specific rules when it comes to his private jet, especially given how much money he has probably splurged on making his ride as luxurious as possible.

His fancy transportation

According to the website AeroAffairs, the interior of Donald Trump's private jet is said to be impressive. Fans got a good look at the plane when the president's granddaughter Kai made a viral TikTok video from inside the jet.

The seats are said to be made of leather and the door handles are rumoured to be made of gold. There is also said to be a suite with a ‘king-size bed with silk bed linen’. When it comes to the food on offer, however, things appear to be much more modest.

As Flicker further reports, there are mainly small snacks on the outbound flight, but on the return flight ‘there will always be McDonald's’. Donald Trump is said to have a soft spot for fast food, and there has already been speculation about possible reasons for this.

A diet coke is also a must; the politician is particularly fond of this drink. His fondness for it even went so far that he had a special button installed on his desk during his first term of office, with which he was served a diet coke at the touch of a button.
