The 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. shared the experience on her YouTube channel, documenting her trip to Brownsville, Texas.
In her video, we see her having fun with a friend on board the famous Boeing 757, known as “Trump Force One”. The large and ornate plane features elegant woodwork, plush leather sofas, a flat-screen TV, and even a bedroom with a king-size bed.
The trip was also marked by special moments: Kai was able to watch the landing from the hole and meet Elon Musk, whom she calls “Uncle Elon”. One sequence even shows the founder of SpaceX in discussion with Donald Trump about rockets.
Donald Trump’s private Boeing 757-200 is extremely luxurious.
