The leasing of an aircraft worth tens of millions of dollars was one of the many controversies during the tenure of former Secretary Noem. Despite the leasing decision being one of the reasons Noem was dismissed, Trump will retain the luxury aircraft, with the right to use it going to his wife, Melania Trump. Although the plane was reportedly leased for use in mass deportations, it is outfitted in an extremely luxurious manner. The aircraft features a marital bed, multiple bathrooms, several televisions, and even a bar. While Americans struggle to afford groceries and rent, Kristi Noem is trying to spend $70 million of your money on yet ANOTHER luxury jet.โฐโฐDoes that sound like a good use of taxpayer dollars? pic.twitter.com/pB7i3SS9lK The funds for leasing the aircraft were secured through budget money intended to be spent on deportations, which fall under the jurisdiction of the department led by Noem.
