When US President Donald Trump went to Dallas to attend the midterm election conference, his trip was briefly delayed by an unexpected episode: Qatar gave away a special plane's emergency slide. On Wednesday, after arriving at the Andrews Joint Base by helicopter, Trump was forced to wait for about 20 minutes on board because the inflatable slide next to the front of the plane was unfolding. Eventually, ground crews removed the slide, and Trump was able to board the plane and set off. According to people familiar with the matter, this emergency slide was mistakenly opened by military personnel. Due to the reasons involved in the incident, people familiar with the matter requested anonymity. Prior to that, Trump gave a different explanation to reporters on the tarmac. He said the staff are inspecting the slides because “they want to make sure everything works perfectly.” The process takes about 15 minutes, he said. When asked if he was sure Air Force One can fly safely, Trump replied, “Yes, I'm pretty sure, otherwise I wouldn't sit on it.”
