Pudding Time!:

Something ain’t right here.

Why is Trump suddenly flying the old Air Force One instead of the Qatari jet taxpayers spent hundreds of millions retrofitting?

When asked, he launched into a rambling, paranoid explanation. And keep an eye on Marco. pic.twitter.com/q0KmNSMvwi

Trump looked like he could barely get up the stairs while boarding Air Force One (He's not on the Qatari bribe jet he rode over to Turkey for unspecific reasons that likely have to do with security)

Trump Claims ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’ Shot at US Aircraft Carrier in Jaw-Dropping Gaffe at NATO Summit

“So I was saying we have an aircraft carrier, which is one of the most beautiful in the world. It’s one of the biggest, the [USS] Abraham Lincoln. And a few months ago, I told this story yesterday. We had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan,” he claimed. “They were shot at the aircraft carrier over a period of about one hour, 111 missiles going to a very expensive ship.”
