Trump

Newsweek - Former President Donald Trump sold one of his private jets earlier this month as his legal costs mount and his sources for funding them appear to be drying up. His company sold a 1997 Cessna jet for an undisclosed sum to Mehrdad Moayedi, an Iranian-American tycoon who is a Republican mega donor, the Daily Beast reported, citing public records.

Daily Kos -  Trump has for years railed against cities, particularly those run by Democratic officials, as hotbeds for crime and moral decay. He called Atlanta a “record setting Murder and Violent Crime War Zone” last year, a similar claim he makes frequently about various cities. 
His allies have an idea of how to capitalize on that agenda and make cities in Trump’s image, detailed in the conservative Project 2025: unleash new police forces on cities like Washington DC, withhold federal disaster and emergency grants unless they follow immigration policies like detaining undocumented immigrants and share sensitive data with the federal government for immigration enforcement purposes. [...] Trump has posited creating new cities whole cloth as well, predicated on the idea that cities now are uninspiring at best.
