The United States is now facing the greatest threat to our free way of life in our history. Even the US Civil War was not the danger that is Donald Trump. In the Civil War, the South wanted to separate from the rest of the Union. Today, Trump does not want to separate from the US, he seeks to destroy the fundamental functions and purpose of the US. He seeks to destroy the Constitution, replacing the Judiciary and Legislative Branches with puppets of the Executive. Plainly stated, Trump seeks to establish himself as a dictator . . . and as of May 2025, he may succeed.
I suspect the aircrew listened politely, replied as best they could, and when he was gone, they took off and flew in silence back to Andrews or Bolling, did not say a word to anyone about Trump’s behavior (and probably did not talk about him to each other). They are professionals, just get down to business, ignore the bullshit.
