Sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed mocking Trump because he would constantly ask to “hitch rides” on his plane, a biographer revealed.
During an episode of Inside Trump’s Head, biographer Michael Wolff, who spent years interviewing Epstein and then chronicled Trump’s political career, said that Trump bumming plane rides off Epstein was a “constant point of friction.”
Wolff and co-host Joanna Coles were talking about the Boeing 747 gifted to Trump by Qatar, and Wolff explained that Trump has “always invested in his planes.” To illustrate how Trump overspent on his planes, he talked about how he had to start relying on Epstein for plane rides.
“This constant point of friction between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump was that Trump often could not afford to fly his own plane, so he had to hitch rides with Epstein,” Wolff said. “Epstein would constantly remind him of this, so that became Epstein’s dominance over Trump.”
Wolff said Trump “becomes invested” in his planes because “it is that stand-in for his power, his dominance, his ability to be the commander,” but he noted that other billionaires are the same way.
“Whenever you are with billionaires, one of the subjects that always comes up is their airplanes, and often that their airplanes are broken and the maintenance requirements of these airplanes,” Wolff said. “So it apparently gets under the skin of all people who own their own airplanes, but particularly this is a Donald Trump thing.”
Wolff said he’s heard “countless stories” that are “worrisome” about Trump getting upset about his planes. Trump notably subpoenaed four New York Times journalists on Friday after he was humiliated by their reporting on the security concerns of his Qatari jet.
