My thought was that, while I certainly hope no harm comes to the grandchildren, this could be the easiest way to get RFK out of our lives.

Is a semi-common name. A high hill near a harbor where one can see incoming shipping, and signal to the ship or the town.
LA has one. And then in 1920’s discovered black gold, Texas tea underneath it. And for a while the largest oil field in the US.

I hope the President does get a plane. Soon.
The President has a plane, two of them.

Re the plane - Trump is shameLESS and he believes he is the law itself. And so - he will accept the plane. He will have the US government retrofit the plane to AF1 standards. He will show off the now gilded-within-an-inch-of-its life plane to everyone. He will host meetings in the sky. Then, if we are lucky, when he finally leaves office, he will keep the plane so he can cosplay as president for the rest of his fucking life.

I suppose it’s possible that Trump wants a memory wipe in the books and other documents stored there. But aside from being illegal (that’s the purpose of the library!), nothing would stop a future administration from restoring the material.
I think it’s probably more about AI companies wanting to eliminate IP protections with Musk’s boyz digging in at the copyright office. If they can’t get Congress to rewrite copyright law, then just occupy the agency in charge of protecting copyright to gum up the works for any enforcement.

Indeed. Large font headlines should have been screaming “THIS IS FUCKING ILLEGAL!!!” today.

Give him a DC-3, then.
It’s more his vintage anyway.

Tannins from the leaves can be responsible for that color as well.

But when he takes the plane with him, he will insist that the USAF pilot, maintain and fuel it.
There is no way he will pay for that himself. Or use any “Library” money for that.

True, but he would be stupid not to have three. Or four. And maybe a Mercedes armored limousine. And a helicopter. Maybe a mansion in Switzerland. Maybe a foreign branch of his Presidential Library, in Abu Dhabi, with a private residence on the grounds, for when Trump wants to visit it. If a $400 million plane is OK, why not shoot for a couple $billion in other perks? Go big or go home.

I am pretty sure swimming in sewage is Bobby Brainworm’s idea of “natural” immunization. I have to point out that it didn’t seem to stop him from turning into a shithead.

I think the Article’s treatment of the Library of Congress issues is insufficient. A more thorough analysis is here:

Trump could roast and eat a baby on live TV and NYT editors would carefully type out “Trump’s Unorthodox Diet Raises Ire”
If he limited his to consumption of infants of undocumented migrants it would be:

Yes, the Constitution is a buy in and it can interpreted however, because he who has the (auto) pen makes the rules.
It’s however significant that Kentucky’s soon to be senior Senator is again chomping at this.
