Lawrence O'Donnell just announced that AF1 has a malfunction and is returning to Andrews.

[Ocelot II]

I hope it's nothing minor.

[leftstreet]

1. Thoughts for the crew n/t

[doc03]

2. Can we beleive that is why?

[2naSalit]

6. Nope.

[mysteryowl]

62. I don't believe this for one second.

He was afraid to face the leaders of our allies.

We have said all along he is coward.
This is a true statement.

[applegrove]

36. Nope.

[Prairie_Seagull]

83. Believe this guy?

Nope.

[2naSalit]

3. I had a feeling...

Earlier this morning that he would turn around. I wonder how long before they head back and *surprise* out pops jared or somebody else instead steps off the plane and no orange clown.

[underpants]

4. Yep

12. This clip has the name Nick Sortor on it!!! Questionable.

[rampartd]

29. they never run out of "influencers" do they?

i keep track of posobiac and andy ng as lying propagandists. guess i need to add nick sortor to that list.

[underpants]

31. Sorry. I thought I got around that.

[dflprincess]

37. Strange, it's supposedly a "minor electrical issue"

and they'll be moving to the backup plane. Not sure why there'd be a motorcade heading to the base.

[Wicked Blue]

41. Urgent diaper change nt

[Emile]

115. Welcome to du, enjoy your stay.

[Torchlight]

116. Sounds serious

Good luck!

[yellow dahlia]

43. Hey!? If they're going to switch planes and continue the trip -

why do they need the motorcade?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Acute medical or psych emergency?

Or he finally pissed off someone richer and more powerful than he is.
Who knows something about airplanes?

[dweller]

15. Airplanes ? In this case , hopefully this guy

✌🏻

[Ocelot II]

23. Or this guy.

[usonian]

49. DANG! He got out again.

[Ocelot II]

60. LOL!

[usonian]

90. LOL's are the spice of life. NT

[Ilsa]

81. I love Photoshop again! Thanks! nt

[usonian]

88. I use GIMP.

I hate paying for software, and love free and open source software.

My Dad was an artist, but I hate cleaning brushes, so I built computers when there were no home computers.

Having fun with them.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[Irish_Dem]

100. It wouldn't be nightmare at 20,000 feet.

It would be dreams can come true at 20,000 feet.

[Maru Kitteh]

118. Looks like Fazzi Bear. nt

[Traildogbob]

26. 😂😂😂😂😂

[yellow dahlia]

16. I'm on the same page, ID.

Minor electrical issue? Routine? Sounds too scripted.

AF1 is probably the best maintained mode of transport, in the world.

Earlier on DU someone remarked that the grifter has been running ragged the past few days, and staying up all hours on antisocial untruth. And asked - should he be doing a Trans Atlantic flight with all his circulation issues?

And then he had that weird episode this afternoon that was supposed to be a presser.

Hmmmm.

[yellow dahlia]

28. Electrical issue? In his heart?

Should someone notify Orrex?

[DBoon]

54. He has a heart?

That would be news!

[yellow dahlia]

56. Spurious news?

[eggplant]

98. Bone Spurious news!

[yellow dahlia]

112. Good one!

[3catwoman3]

76. We can only hope.

[Ilsa]

82. He looked like wrung-out toilet paper at the presser today.

I hope he skips more sleep so he'll wreck his health even more.

[Irish_Dem]

105. I think Trump is decompensating by the day.

Looks very manic.

[yellow dahlia]

110. I think they're trying to balance him out with drugs.

Right now, in Davos, he in monotonic. When he gets this weird "flatline" tone that he has now, it reminds me of Jim Jones.

The grifter is demonstrating his petulant, pissed off, spiteful tone right now as well, in all his speeches. The "you people are too stupid to understand" delivery.

[Hey Joe]

61. I'm going with explosive diarrhea

[Irish_Dem]

102. Of the mouth or other end?

[Ilsa]

80. Well, he did slam Leonard Leo today.

LL doesn't like the tariffs, but he does like telling Don-old which judges to promote.

[Irish_Dem]

101. I wonder if Trump realizes how many enemies he makes everyday?

Some of them powerful and rich.

[IcyPeas]

7. Biden's fault

[SocialDemocrat61]

10. According to Jake Tapper

[Raven123]

107. I need to send Joe. Thank you card

[TomSlick]

8. Sometimes I regret that my theology does not allow for petitionary prayer.

[3Hotdogs]

44. Not to worry. Mine does. I'll take up the slack for ya.

[electric_blue68]

47. DU'rs, always ready to lend a hand....

or a prayer in this case!

[3Hotdogs]

50. From me - no tots but lots of pears for the Latinos or their relatives who votes for Anal Fistula

and got a big bite taken out'a their asses.

[PufPuf23]

51. Trump would rather have tots and payers than

thoughts and prayers.

Getting tired of the evil-doer myself.

9. Did he stroke out?

[DURHAM D]

11. CNN is reporting that it is a minor electrical issue.

damn

[usonian]

20. minor electrical issue

Ran out of lightning.
Wonder if they flew into a thunderstorm on purpose for his regular medical treatments.

[intheflow]

33. People are saying they're transplanting

Dick Cheney’s dead-yet-still-beating heart into him to perk him up a bit for the cameras.

[usonian]

35. But he lived so long without a heart.

Why start now?

Explains his derangement.



A new medal for his collection?

[EllieBC]

58. The universe had one fucking job.

And all it gave us was a minor issue.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Clogged and overflowing toilet?

You know you have to flush those things like 10-12 times…

Just realized he was on his way to Davos…Bok! Bok! Tough Guy is too skeered to face the mean Europeans.

So I change my speculation from clogged toilet to Toddler Tantrum/Panic Attack.

[Norbert]

14. Was it a medical emergency

I mean, the idiot was at the football game last night after traveling to Mari-a-Loco earlier in the day. Then he spent half the night melting down on un-Truth Social. Then he was supposed to travel today.

I am a bit younger than he is but I couldn't maintain that pace anymore.

[yellow dahlia]

21. Many are on the same page.

[llmart]

103. You could if you were loaded with some uppers.

Where is that old ad from the '80's about "this is your brain on drugs"? Put that ad together with a picture of the orange lunatic spewing his inane rantings.

[Talitha]

111. THIS !!

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Has TACO chickened out?

[UTUSN]

38. This.

[kacekwl]

18. trump chickend out.

Knows he's hated.

[UTUSN]

40. And this.

[WSHazel]

19. Health issue

90% chance this is health related.

[yellow dahlia]

24. Many with that same inclination.

[dflprincess]

39. Hope springs eternal. nt

[Swede]

22. TACO time.

[CatWoman]

25. he TACO'd again

[usonian]

27. It's the hamburger he ate at a Danish restaurant. Danes don't play games. (satire, maybe)

They don't get angry; they get even.

"Never eat with your eyes closed!"

30. Darn...pesky plane malfunctions.

[ColoringFool]

32. If There Were No Other People On Board....Thoughts Would Differ.

[newdeal2]

34. That's a shame

Guess the peace board will have to wait.

[usonian]

42. Mutiny!

[arthritisR_US]

66. That's a poorly done AI. His face and neck are way too thin and

his hands are way too big.

[usonian]

71. It's not AI.

If I were good with head transplants, I'd be a well-paid surgeon instead of a retired computer junkie avoiding putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

That's DU's main function tonight, but we had some fun.

Ya got your money's worth, and LESS.

Oops, it's not too late to do those kitchen chores.

[dem4decades]

45. Screw lose? Or it was something with the plane.

[BigmanPigman]

46. I hope it was a major stroke or heart attack!!!!

Is he running back home with his tail between his legs or is he going to go straight to the hospital emergency room? Since he has no shame I doubt he is running home in disgrace and to lick his wounds and the whole airplane excuse is obviously BS from Team tRump.

The next time we see him he will have a more drooping face, bruised hands covered with make up and band aids, slurred word, inability to walk, inability to form a complete sentence, etc.

Either way we will NEVER know the truth. He could be dead for 4 days and no one would know.

Meanwhile, Vance is made the "temporary POTUS" and Miller is going to make the move that he has dreamed about throughout his lifetime.

"Is he dead yet?" answer will be delayed by the sadistic, greedy psychopaths who surround him. They are the ones making all the moves now.

[aeromanKC]

48. Be the Under!!

I took the Under!!

[Demobrat]

52. A minor electrical issue

like an arrhythmia?

[dweller]

72. CLEAR !1!

spzz spzzle spok

RECHARGING !!

CLEAR !1!

spuk …






✌🏻

[3catwoman3]

79. A consummation devoutly to be wished.

[RockRaven]

53. That's a shame

[Iggo]

55. Trump is a malfunction. (n/t)

[The Conductor]

59. Alternative Theory...

Air Force One's fleet is the most extensively maintained in the world. Problems are vanishingly rare, because everything is tested on the ground and in the air multiple times before flight.

But suppose Trump had a medical emergency. Anything from a psychotic break where he began howling like a monkey and throwing feces to another stroke. Cover story? The plane broke. Like when he disappeared for weeks last August-September, then reappeared with backhand bruises and a sagging face that no healthy human could even imitate, unless they've had a stroke. Accounts for the up-all-night junk, too, because the biological click is a real area of the brain.

Maybe it was Trump the blew a gasket, not the 747.

[yellow dahlia]

63. Recent update on CNN. They are in the process of switching to the other AF!,

and expected to depart again soon.

He lives to torture the world, another day...

[electric_blue68]

64. Oh..... "Lucky" us. Sighhh....

😑

[yellow dahlia]

65. A collective sigh.

[electric_blue68]

67. Ah...

That's what I heard out my window!

[usonian]

68. Maybe they will switch from those Tesla batteries. Cause accidents.

[Demobrat]

73. So they say.

Still hoping

[C_U_L8R]

69. Did they forget to pack JD again?

74. Check for channels airing Swan Lake

[regnaD kciN]

89. In this country, shouldn't it be "Appalachian Spring"...?

[JHB]

113. With THIS administration?

They'll follow their advisors and go with the traditional choice of Swan Lake.

[Grammy23]

75. I'm pretty certain that we cannot believe any explanation

From this White House. Minor electrical problem or major vascular blow out by DJT? Either could be true, tRumpolini was a bit off today at that spectacle they called a press conference. tRump seemed very sluggish and unfocused. Were we witnessing the beginnings of a major medical emergency? Could be.

Either way, the truth will be slow to emerge. Even if tRump is DOA, they’ll stuff his corpse and trot him out. Just hide and watch.

[RandySF]

77. My experience

I once sat on a runway in Detroit because the light bulb (I think) went out in an exit sign and they worried that they would have to fly one up from Atlanta.

[OAITW r.2.0]

78. I won't believe it until.....

I see this moron making more stupid statements. That's when I know this World Abject Failure is animated.

[BigmanPigman]

84. Yup, do not trust them...EVER!

All they do is lie so to save time and energy I automatically believe everything "team tRump" tells is a lie and take it from there. Make them prove it!

[OAITW r.2.0]

87. What else can you do? When times are really abnormal?

[C Moon]

85. Mark my word: trump is setting things up to get his new Qatar toy to replace AF1 quickly.

Which will cost us all a lot of money.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

86. Here's the plane. It's a 757-200. It left JBA at 12:03 a.m. EST. It's past Cape Cod now.

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae4ae6

[Historic NY]

93. What no backup 747 ?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

96. I don't know.

I did not see which of the two VC-25s he was on originally. The hex codes for them are adfadf8 and adfadf9.

And good morning.

[GoCubsGo]

108. Didn't Qatar just give him a fancy one?

[Historic NY]

92. I had A British Air 747 with a bad compass

they flew the Concorde to get another one. They could have taken a bunch of us but alas it was empty. We spend a day in JFK drinking the bottle of Rum I was bringing. Then they got us lodging.

[Montauk6]

94. Rotten cargo?

95. Is that a polite way of saying they need restraints for a passenger?
