It wasn’t enough that Trump’s regime is using the book of Revelations as a playbook, they’re taking cues from the Christian thriller book series Left Behind - A dramatization of the end times that includes Nicolae Carpathia (the Antichrist) building a super jet called The Phoenix 216 to be a flying fortress for him to rule the world from.

I am sure it won't have listening devices. After all, why would they even do that?

it does not violate laws against bribery or the Constitution's prohibition (the emoluments clause) of any U.S. government official accepting gifts "from any King, Prince or foreign State."

Of course not.

During background investigations of government jobs this is a common question and can get you striked from the job pool.

But hey, the highest position in the government can do it sure.

The net of law is spread so wide,
No sinner from its sweep may hide.
Its meshes are so fine and strong,
They take in every child of wrong.
O wondrous web of mystery!
Big fish alone escape from thee!
