Trump’s Nuclear Priorities: Missiles Crumble, But His Luxury Jet Soars
Dear Friends,
While America’s nuclear missile silos—some built during the Eisenhower administration—crack, corrode, and literally rust into irrelevance, Donald Trump has decided the real national security threat… is an outdated private jet.
Yes, that’s right.
Instead of directing urgently needed funds toward maintaining our nuclear triad—the doomsday infrastructure that theoretically keeps our enemies at bay—Trump is reportedly diverting money to overhaul a lavish aircraft tied to Qatar, rumored to be the one he plans to fly off in when his presidency finally crashes and burns. Because clearly, preserving his first-class exit is more important than preventing a catastrophic nuclear mishap in North Dakota.
Let’s break this down:
🧨 Missile Silos: The Rot Beneath Our Feet
Across the Midwest, dozens of Cold War-era nuclear missile silos are in dire need of upgrades. These underground launch facilities, vital to the U.S. nuclear deterrent, are plagued with deteriorating blast doors, analog equipment, water leaks, and—no, this isn’t a joke—mice nests in control rooms.
The Air Force has warned that without immediate funding, the nation’s land-based missile leg could become unreliable—or inoperable. But, in Trump’s America, those are just “fix-it-later” problems. Apparently, so is our very survival.
✈️ Meanwhile… Jetting Toward the Apocalypse
Trump has reportedly set his sights on a Boeing 747-8, originally gifted (or loaned?) by Qatar and currently undergoing a deluxe retrofit. Estimated price tag? Hundreds of millions of dollars—paid in part by funds redirected from Pentagon allocations previously approved to modernize national defense infrastructure.
This isn’t just a plane. It’s a flying monument to narcissism. Gold-plated everything. A private bedroom. Missile defense systems (ironic, no?). Rumor has it he even wants a custom escape pod and space for Melania’s luggage collection, should she ever decide to fly commercial again. Unlikely.
🔄 From Deterrence to Distraction
This is classic Trump: trade national readiness for personal vanity.
- National security? Cut corners.
- Troop housing? Slash it.
- Veterans’ healthcare? Delay it.
- A refurbished mega-jet that screams “dictator-on-the-move”? Fully funded.
This isn’t about defense. This is about escape. He’s building his post-presidency lifeboat while the rest of us are stuck bailing water from a leaking democracy.
Here’s the Bottom Line:
While Putin eyes expansion, North Korea flexes missiles, and China builds up its own nuclear arsenal, Trump’s legacy plan is a runway. He’s more focused on making sure his goodbye is as flashy as his gold-plated toilet than ensuring the systems that protect 330 million Americans actually work.
So the next time someone says Trump is tough on national defense, ask them why he let our nukes rot—while he polished a plane.
Stay awake. Stay outraged. Stay ready.

Proudly flying commercial while funding actual defense.

P.S. If this makes you want to scream into a throw pillow, you’re not alone. Forward this to someone who still thinks Trump “puts America first.” Let’s remind them: he always puts himself first, and America can deal with the fallout—literally.
