🚩Trump IS flying on Epstein’s plane!!! 🚩

No, this isn’t in the distance past tense. He flew on it as recently as Saturday.  

I noticed a short mention of it, so I decided to dig a little deeper.  In this 🧵, I’ll expose the evidence I uncovered and MUCH more.

(1/x)

First, I found this tweet that shows a plane painted with “Trump 2024” landing in Aspen on Saturday afternoon.  It shows what appears to be a Secret Service motorcade leaving the airport after the plane’s arrival.

(2/x)

The Aspen Daily News confirms.

The tail number on the plane reads “N550GP”.

(4/x)

The plane’s registry in the FAA database revealed the G550’s serial number.

(5/x)

From here, I wanted to see if it was indeed the same plane….  What was Epstein’s G550’s serial number?

(6/x)

Searching the flight records of Epstein’s tail number of N212JE….  BINGO!  Same plane.

(7/x)

As an added bonus, Trump’s plane was tracked from Bozeman, to Jackson Hole, to Aspen, and then on to Denver.

(Of note:  Trump’s 757 wouldn’t have been able to land in Aspen.)

Here are the invites to his billionaire fundraisers at Big Sky and in Aspen, correlating the timeline.

(Although, because of his plane issues delaying him in Billings, and the delay to his rally, the Gov and those benefactors at Big Sky must have been pissed.)

(9/x)

So those are the facts, and as you may have noticed I’m NOT a journalist, but I dug a little more due to insomnia and reckless curiosity.

I’m hoping some actual journalist is able to take this to whatever truth you may find.

Wanna keep going?

Linked are some details about the plane.  But, who actually owns Epstein’s old G550?  



(11/x)dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…

Frank Cerabino of the Palm Beach Post thought it’d be a hoot to help sell Epstein’s jet, possibly alerting Palm Beach’s most famously frugal resident, stating “smart negotiating could get you a deal” with a nod and a wink.



(12/x)palmbeachpost.com/story/news/col…

Now, it’s probable that Cerabino was just having some fun with it, but it’s important to dig deeper.

The Miami Herald reported that the plane was sold to an Ontario, CA shell company incorporated under the tail number, N550GP LLC.



(13/x) miamiherald.com/news/local/cri…

This correlates to the current information in the FAA registry.

(14/x)

Since Julian Gonzales also works for Frontier Communities, I double-checked and the Better Business Bureau also listed the company at the plane’s shell company’s address.

(“Real Estate”….  Hmmm?)

(15/x)

The Frontier Communities website also backed up this info…..

…  oh wait, the suite number is different.  What else is listed at that address?

(16/x)

It looks like a regular office building, and probably is….  there may be many unaffiliated companies in the building.  Or, many of them could all be shell companies under the same umbrella.

(17/x)

The umbrella company seems to be Frontier Enterprises with Frontier Homes also under it.

Who owns these Frontier companies?

(18/x)

Turns out, it’s one James L. Previti.  (I also saw his name also listed as Jim, and another as possibly Jimmy.)



(19/x) builderonline.com/builder-100/ma…

What’s his story, you might ask?  It turns out that he’s a major Republican donor.  In fact, it appears that he donated $25,000 to San Bernardino Republicans just 4 days ago.



(20/x)

He also turned some heads last year.

(21/x)

Now there’s nothing overtly strange about one very rich man loaning or leasing his plane (or one of his planes?) to a fellow oligarch.

However, big questions are raised when one of them is a former president:

(22/x)

Does DJT regularly use this plane?  Does he pay $? Or, is this an in-kind campaign contribution?  Has it/have they been disclosed to the FEC?

When did the USSS know?  They would’ve done background ✅s and security sweeps before allowing a protectee to use a random plane.

(23/x)

If this was a 1-off, why’d it get a Trump paint job?  Wouldn’t the paint job be considered a campaign contrib as an ad?  When was that done?  

BIG ❓:  Did Trump know that it was Epstein’s plane?  When did he know it?  It seems like a stretch to think that he had NO idea.

24/

BIGGEST QUESTION:  Was the plane purchased for DJT as a favor from a major Republican donor, due to his former friendship with Jeffrey Epstein?

I’m not a journalist, but I hope there’s one out there, with more skills than this sleep deprived guy, that will take up this charge and shine a light on the truth.

Thanks for reading.
