President Trump found himself in a very dangerous situation this weekend while traveling to his home in Mar-a-Lago.
According to reports, a private plane President Trump was traveling on suffered sudden engine failure while flying over the Gulf of Mexico.
My God, the thought of what could have happened is horrifying.
Thankfully, the pilot quickly made an emergency landing in New Orleans.
God forbid what could have happened.
Politico reported that President Donald Trump’s plane made an emergency landing on Saturday evening following his speech at a Republican National Committee-hosted donor retreat in New Orleans, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The plane was in the air for between 20 and 30 minutes before one of the engines failed and the pilot of the private plane decided to turn around and return to the New Orleans airport, one of the sources said. The plane was en route to Palm Beach, Fla., where Trump resides at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Audio of the communications between the pilot and the air traffic control tower revealed that the landing was described as “emergency in nature,” according to the source, who had been briefed on the recording. However, another person familiar with the recording disputed that the word “emergency” was used.
Once the plane was on the ground, the RNC scrambled and reached out to a donor and found the former president another plane. Trump eventually landed in Palm Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday.
Spokespersons for Trump and the RNC declined to comment.
Not to sound like a complete conspiracy kook, but that’s quite a curious thing to happen to President Trump…
Granted, engine failures happen all the time, but it’ll be curious to see what exactly went wrong…I am sure Trump is looking into this.
