One of the richest men in America, Billionaire Donald Trump, arrived in Lexington yesterday to attend a fundraising event for his self-funded campaign, despite the fact that he’s still a billionaire. Supporters from the region attended the event put on by Joe and Kelly Craft, who we’d guarantee have been in ‘Tops In Lex’ magazine without even looking it up. To gain access to the event, attendees could pay $5400 for entry and a photo, $1000 for entry but no photo with the presidential hopeful or for $30, you could just smell his hair.
During the visit, staff members at the Aviation Museum said the presumptive GOP time bomb seemed to be a little distracted.
“He kept asking over and over again about the private jet exhibit,” recalls Owen Thomas. “We explained what type of museum we were, informed him that there were no private jets and took him on the tour. However, he’d say, ‘I can’t wait to get to the private jet section. Are we there yet?’ pretty much every two minutes.”
Trump seemed to enjoy the tour and even stopped at the “women in aviation” exhibit to do a little campaigning for himself.
“Yeah, I don’t know about these lady pilots”, started Trump. “I prefer my pilots to be ones who successfully fly and land planes. Not like Amelia Earhart and that other broad who blew up the Challenger. But women are terrific. They really are. I love women. I think I’ll be great for women.”
Trump told the audience how much he loved Kentucky and bragged about the city of Lexington, which he now cites as one of his favorite towns to visit. Trump staffers said he loved all the historical sites he saw such as the Aviation Museum and Concourse B. It was also noted that he was really impressed with the small business owners of Lexington he met such as the guys at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
After landing and collecting his cash, Trump gave his final farewell to his supporters who’d never been to a museum in their lives before yesterday. “It was great to be here this evening,” concluded Trump. “The museum is a little tiny and has some serious historical oversights but hey, not all of us have extra campaign funds to go to Eastland Shopping Center like crooked Hillary.”
