“Mexico to rent out presidential jet for weddings, parties.”
It sounds weirdly “third world” on the surface, but it’s pretty much the same thing Clinton used to do with the Lincoln Bedroom.
Oh, now that I think about it, my initial impression was right. Both situations sound weirdly third world, but the Clinton thing never really bothered me because I can still remember when JFK installed the mirrored ceiling and the red velvet drapes in the Oval Office, and my dad always talked about when Warren Harding jump-started the roaring twenties by installing an opium den in the library, which was a frequent stop made by visitors after they selected a hooker in the entrance hall.
And don’t even ask about James Buchanan.
