President Donald Trump stepped off of his helicopter after it landed on Tuesday, and as noted by Ron Filipkowski on X, he took a not-exactly straight route on foot after getting off the plane: 

Another video showed the same walk, only sped up:

There were some surprised reactions on social media to that video.

In other Trump plane news, the Associated Press reported Monday that the new Air Force One, a gift from Qatar, will be ready for use this summer.

“The U.S. Air Force has finished modifying and testing a Boeing 747 jet donated by Qatar for temporary use as Air Force One and expects to have it ready for President Donald Trump to use this summer, the service announced late Friday,” the AP reported. “The jet is currently being painted red, white, and blue, the Air Force said in a news release.”

The idea, as announced at the time, is for Trump to use the jet for the rest of his time in office and then donate it to his presidential library after he leaves office.

“The two planes currently used as Air Force One have been flying for nearly four decades, and Trump is eager to replace them. During his first term, he displayed a model of a new jumbo jet in the Oval Office, complete with a revised paint scheme that echoed the red, white, and dark blue design of his personal plane,” the report said. It’s not clear what jet the next president is expected to use as Air Force One.
