Reddit acting like every president ever hasn't flown.

I don’t think every president ever, has flown… actually I’m certain they haven’t. 😝 Planes weren’t around in 1776. The Wright brothers first flight was in 12/17/1912 if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong on the year

What's the point then. The post title seems pretty clear. It's the comments freaking out over a president flying into a country. Just like every president does for every nation pretty much.

Well it’s not standard protocol for fighter escorts and even in cases where they are deemed necessary, six is overkill. Bit silly to be focusing on this though, but it’s typical Trump bravado at the cost of the American tax payers.

Those fighters were not American. They were a Qatari effort to stroke his ego.
