Trump's Air Force One slide accidentally deployed
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump's trip to Texas for the Republican Party's midterm convention was briefly delayed due to an inflatable emergency slide accidentally deploying on Air Force One. The new plane, a gift from Qatar, was being checked out to ensure everything worked perfectly. The incident occurred at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where Trump was arriving from a NATO summit in Turkey.
The slide had deployed from the front right exit, opposite from the door Trump uses to board. Trump expressed no concern and reiterated that he was satisfied with the plane's safety to fly. The U.S. Air Force confirmed the plane continued on its planned route after the incident, landing safely in Dallas.
