With so many instances of trying to become American royalty, Trump has tried to manipulate his brand, hoping that his post-presidency will mythologically be identified as Kennedyesque. Mar-a-Lago is not Hyannis Port, and the new laundered money of post-soviet Russia is not like Joe Kennedy’s bootlegging.
This time he claims he “designed” a new color scheme for Air Force One, because he’s smarter than JFK and Raymond Loewy combined, even if the palette is lifted from his personal plane and the design references at least one historical iteration of United Airlines and American Airlines.
At the same time he decides to reference JFK’s FLOTUS, because isn’t Melania so much like Jackie Kennedy, even if Trump stupidly referenced her name from her second marriage.
The pathetic delusions of Trumpian unhingery continue as he seeks more diversions from his continuing errors, as if making himself seem more like JFK would absolve the more obvious office-fitness of #F*tNixon.
