And also, a waste of taxpayer money & military resources too, that should've went to protecting our nation as well as the well-being of our brave members of the armed forces.
Can't they just send commercial airliners instead?
It only takes one patriot to align this nation! Be the HERO!
Be a patriot and find Elon Musk at once! We must get rid of ELON MUSK. He’s a threat towards all Americans. He’s not American and our biggest threat. Get rid of him!!
… and it costs 🇺🇸 taxpayers far more than the usual procedure for deporting people. Oh, and it used to be that due process was given prior to the decision to deport. (Right?)
The resources of the Federal government are just a big treasure trove of Hollywood back lots for this administration to use to enrich themselves and their cohorts. Our hope is that their gross incompetency will collapse on itself sooner rather than later. Less collateral damage.
Your Performative President enjoys using escalators, Bibles, military planes, fences, detention camps and big-busted blondes as backdrops for all his critical policy roll-outs.
It's not about the cost - that doesn't matter. It's about the spectacle, and establishing that the US military will be doing round-ups, detentions, and deportations.
And if you don't like it, you might wind up on one of these flights, too.
Yes and no, now I'm against Trump's deportation bullshit but here's an excellent breakdown of all costs involved and why there might be a case to use military planes.
It costs the taxpayers approximately $700,000 MORE (each flight)to use military planes than civilian aircraft. Trump thinks using military planes makes him look tough.
For rump and maga, it's all about performance and appearances.
And of course they care nothing about the federal budget other than they will make it support $$$$$ in deficit to support their deranged agenda.
Conservatism has always been an ugly wasteful spectacle. Building jets with parts made in all 435 districts. Or some # very similar. Applying Reagan for trying to the high school kids proper lunch, knowing that in the future that investment will pay off. Reagan pushing back an energy efficiency…
well, maybe it drives the price of eggs and groceries down?? Dunno, or maybe it will cut my car insurance costs with 50%?? Or it could be the use of these military cargo planes will lower our gas prices at the pump?? Still waiting for those...
Recall that Trump was not smart enough to make a profit in his own business resulting in six bankruptcies and he is now on the precipice of a seventh bankruptcy filing.
Trump will destroy America, but he's just a tool. Someone else is pulling the strings. Most likely a coalition taking America down together to fight over the spoils.
I'm sure he does. Either that, or he doesn't realize that the money is coming out of federal funds, which he now regards as his personal piggy bank. Perhaps Mexico is paying for the flights like they paid for the wall?
We’ve never had a surge of illegal immigrants like this either. If we can’t agree that deporting these people is good for the country we’re going to lose. Trump won on deportation because it’s good for our country and for Americans.
Hmm....just had a thought....is this going to be another reason to cut back on social programs, Medicaid, Medicare, whatever. I can hear him, 'we spent so much deporting those migrants that Biden let crash our borders, that we need to cut _____' (you may fill in the blank with the program he robs).
It’s the symbolism that matters, the optics that impresses the base. It’s the point I get p used to seeing active military participating in -civil- operations and society. Planes today, troops knocking on your door next. All to normalize the abnormal.
Biden used commercial or chartered flights for those he deported - like normal presidents. Trump was just performing for his MAGAs using military flights.

How much has he already profited off of being prez? I'm pretty sure he can afford it.
Unless it helps ordinary Americans.
