Trump Carries Heavy Baggage on First International Trip

Now, there's no charge for overweight baggage on AF1, but The Donald will certainly have to have considerable help with all of the weighty luggage he'll be loading on the plane for his dreaded trip that starts on Friday. In the bag with the Russian tags, he'll have a new Special Counsel from the DOJ packed up and needing a strong cart to move. For the bag he usually packs full of money needing to be laundered, it's impossible to estimate the final weight. And then, there are the bags for his staff and family members, each overloaded with weighty concerns and an assortment of miscellaneous peccadilloes. All in all, the baggage alone is going to need special handling to prevent individual bags from bursting and spilling their contents all over the Middle East and Europe.

I wouldn't want Trump should get a hernia or nothing, you understand.

Israel can't be happy, putz probably caused the death of one of their guys with his blabber mouth.
Saudi Arabia has to be pissed about all his inflammatory rhetoric about Muslims
The Vatican should just keep him & have him confess all his sins, which will take up the rest of his term.

He will spout his main speech, his "yuge" win. We will be hanging our heads in shame & embarrassment.

This trip is designed to give him some credibility. It won't, of course, but that's the plan. It won't be cancelled, I'm sure. There are too many things planned, like a prize basket of deals for the Middle Eastern warlords, etc.

He really has to go. It will turn out to be his "Comedy Tour," though, as the world laughs at him without ceasing.
