@ErikSchime93353 @GaryMarcus Picking Vance is a bigger failure, and he kept the wrong people around him last time in office.
As for disclosure of prior owner, that's the real part of the story. Was it on a form? Did they ignore it? Will he fire anyone if all true?

@sd_marlow @GaryMarcus It speaks to competence in Trump's hiring practices. Basic due diligence prior to painting the Trump 2024 logo on the side of an airplane.

Yes, an aviation company should be required to disclose prior owners. It should be in the contract. This is a national political campaign.

@GaryMarcus How does this mean ANYTHING?
Did he personally look for this jet to lease, or is it that people that handle travel for him went to a company that could provide what they needed?
Should aviation group be required to say "Epstein was former owner?"
Don't swing at every pitch, OK.

Have we talked about Trump’s complete and utter lack of good judgment lately?

.@theaircurrent can confirm reports that the @GulfstreamAero G550 that former President Trump has been using to travel for campaign events was formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein. The aircraft is now owned and operated by Threshold Aviation Group.

The statement 'Good people mostly don’t want to work from him…' is part of a broader conversation about former President Trump's hiring practices and the implications of using an aircraft previously owned by Jeffrey Epstein. This conversation touches on public issues related to political competence, ethical considerations, and transparency in political campaigns.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but implies a negative judgment about Trump's ability to attract competent staff, which could be seen as a critique rather than harmful speech.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech. It is a critical opinion about a public figure's hiring practices.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. It is more focused on criticism. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does not provide constructive dialogue or specific examples. It could be seen as a generalization rather than a personal attack. [-1]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principle of free speech and uses the platform to express a critical opinion about a public issue. [+1]
