The Trump touch...gold belt buckles

-

Trump Force one, as this aircraft was inevitably nicknamed, became a key part of Donald Trump’s successful bid for the White House. most candidates have access to a plane – they usually don’t own their own. more than this, he boasted it was better than Air Force one, ‘in every way’. Trump bought it in 2011 for $100million (£76million), or so he claimed at the time. most think this is an exaggerati­on. The Boeing 757-200 was previously owned by paul Allen, the microsoft co-founder. Trump went about refurbishi­ng it in his own brash style. Gold is the signature material and can be found lining the sink in the master bathroom. The seatbelt buckles also have 24-carat gold plating. under Trump’s refit, it also has a ‘sky cinema’ with a 57in screen TV and a sitting room completely lined in walnut veneer. Trump’s master bedroom was lined in champagne coloured silk and filled with scatter cushions bearing his family crest.
