Donald Trump, as president of the United States, or as just plain old Donald, has never done anything worse than what just happened.

I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. So what did he do? Accepting this plane,

it's not about who's giving it to him. It's not even about how much it costs. It's just such a

clear, definite statement, not only about what he is, who he is, but on how wrong and deceptive the

administration is being.

Okay?

Now look, this is a no-brainer.

All you have to do is flip the R and the D and the people who are supporting him right now and saying

that, you know, taking a plane to be used, that then goes to his library, checks all the boxes,

is bullshit. They would be going psycho. Think about how worried they were that Ukraine may have a

little bit of leverage over Biden because his son was sitting on the board.

But you getting a plane from a place that is a hub of all kinds of controversy that has nothing

but money to dump in any direction it wants, that doesn't peak the same curiosity.

Why? Yeah, you can say hypocrisy, but this is about so much more than that,

okay? This airplane reveals so much of a huge problem that goes way beyond Trump that that's

why we have to unpack it. And again, this isn't even really about Trump, okay? Now, sure, on some levels it is.

It shows a personal weakness on his place, a lack of authenticity of his purpose as well.

He's not a populist, okay?

A populist doesn't take something like this, doesn't use something like this, doesn't like the imagery, doesn't like what it represents in terms of systemic and establishment protocols of the rich getting richer and who gets to

have influence and why and in what ways.

All of that.

Yes, but why?
