Hillary Clinton buys Gulfstream G500 at 35% interest to show solidarity with military

“We advised her to go with a Dodge Charger but it just didn’t seem right to her," said Jennifer Palmieri, a communications manager for the Clinton campaign. “She needed something that would really grab the headlines and relate to the spend-happy habits of our young service members.”

During a recent visit to the Fort Bragg Army installation, Clinton addressed a group of soldiers who urged her to do more to connect with the veteran community.
