He's got everyone in the world hating him - yet he took the chance to continue his trip.

If I were him I probably would have canceled the trip and gone into hiding at the WH or MAL.

I'd stay away from windows in tall buildings in Davos if I were him.

Pretty scary when AF1 has a problem.

But we all know he's fearless.
