3. He has a foundation for it, I.e., a legal entity that can own stuff like... planes, I guess.

6. Then, he can turn it over to National Archives and Records Admin like Obama did with $1.3 M in Saudi

jewels gifted to President Obama, First Lady, and their daughters. They cannot keep it legal. trump will have a hard time walking away with a plane that has to be registered as a gift.
———-
The State Department keeps the registry of gifts. trump will have a hard time hiding a plane, although I’m sure he’ll try.

“The items must be later turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration, or the recipient can pay the market value of the gift and keep it.”

13. I feel very confident in saying there will never be a Trump library.

There will be money raised for a library, which Trump will pocket. Since there will be no library, there will be no place for the plane to go. Trump plans to continue to fly that upholstered whore house, which he erroneously thinks screams elegance, long after he leaves the presidency.

As with the transition funds, inaugural funds, library funds, and top secret documents, he will simply declare “It’s mine,” and keep it.
