    A foreign nation gifts us a plane and Donnie makes it air force one.

    Has he never heard of a Trojan horse?

      The Trojan horse was a great gift, a great gift for beautiful people. But the people giving the gift were beautiful too. Great folks on both sides. I mean just look at it, the horse, look at it, it’s got wood, and it’s so tall. I was there, people were telling me, Mr Trump, look, look Mr Trump, that horse is so beautiful. It was so beautiful, people were crying. Sobbing. Thanking me. They had never seen such a beautiful horse. Have you ever seen such a beautiful horse? I thought of seabiscuit. I love seabiscuit. They tell me it’s such a beautiful movie. But you know what I say? See biscuit, eat biscuit. What a lovely biscuit.
