    When you rent a car do you ever ask who drove it prior?

    Your rental car doesn’t have its VIN painted on the tail in large lettering and publically searchable.

    It’s called vetting your suppliers. To make sure someone you’re using isn’t a potential liability.

        Whether I charter planes has nothing to do with vetting suppliers. I do vet my suppliers as a regular citizen. You do the same thing all the time. I check the reviews of various car rental agencies in the area I’m going to see which are better or worse. That is a form of vetting.

        A Presidential campaign and former Presdient would 100% have access to more information than basic reviews. Given the public spectacle of Epstein, they should have information about where assets that Trump may come into contact with in the future are located to prevent this exact scenario.

          I can only tolerate so much speculative bullshit. Provide one single piece of evidence. None of y’all have, the few of you pushing this nonsense all consistently refuse to.

          It was a liquidated asset that was transferred to another company which rents out charter planes. Why the fuck would they choose to fly in Epstein’s plane? It’s not like they bought it off of him. It’s not like they got a special deal. They rented a charter jet just like all these people do and no one would ever think who owned it or used it. You need evidence to prove that this was at least negligent. Or You need evidence that this was intentional. You need fucking anything to grasp to other than the ridiculous straws you’re pulling on.

          Trump advance are pieces of shit. But y’all are just making shit up

            I can only assume you replied to the wrong comment. I never said it was intentional. I never even implied it was intentional. I said the Trump political team is incompetent for letting the company use that specific aircraft with the history it has. His team being filled with incompetent people isn’t exactly a hot take.

            Him using the plane isn’t really an issue, you’re right, it’s just a charter plane (that I hope they deep cleaned given its history). But the fact his staff didn’t prevent the usage of that specific aircraft, given the context, just shows they aren’t capable of seeing potential issues ahead of time that they easily could avoid.

            Political staff normally try to vet suppliers and partners to minimize surprises like this. They normally keep track of issues from a politician’s past that could cause more issues in the future. Given Trump’s personal history with Epstein, and specifically the issue of Epstein’s plane being a primary piece of his pedophilic empire known to the general public, one would have thought they would keep tabs on that.

      It’s called vetting your suppliers.

      That is a completely different argument than “Trump purposefully choose to be on a former Epstein plane because… reasons” that the other guy is making. Yes, we all know the Trump team is inept, hence why they hang around the guy. The fact that they didn’t vet their supplier isn’t proof of some conspiracy.
