Kristi Noem’s $70m jet will be repurposed, used by Melania Trump

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s $70m jet will be repurposed within the Trump administration.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the aircraft will be utilized by some of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, as well as First Lady Melania Trump. Originally purchased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a tool to assist with the president’s deportation agenda, the jet features “a bedroom, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar,” The Daily Mail reported.

“This aircraft will be available to cabinet members who need secure command and control and rapid long-range mobility,” said a DHS spokesperson, who said that the craft had been purchased before Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation.

“ICE claims the jet will be used for deportations and travel for Cabinet officials, including DHS leadership like Noem,” DM notes. “But some DHS officials privately expressed concern to NBC about whether the luxury 737 jet is necessary for Noem to carry out the president’s mass deportation agenda.”

“When asked how the plane would be used for deportations, a DHS spokesperson said ‘ at least one of the bedrooms is currently being converted for seating to prepare the aircraft to meet the demands of its deportation mission,'” the report continued.

It kills me how they spent all of this money and now they’re spending more to repurpose it for the first lady?

Kristi Noem had the nerve to buy not 1 but 2 for herself and she wasn’t fired for it. https://t.co/ykhLd77QlQ

No. It will be repurposed for FLOTUSs for years to come. Melania has her own private plane.

ANYTHING to deflect and distract from the actual war going on in Iran right now and all the bullshittery and lies the medias are covering it under.

Correction: all the AMERICAN BASED medias.

The rest of the world still realizes how fucked America and Americans still are.
