⛽️🛬

I just toured the new Air Force One. No photos allowed, so you’ll have to take my word for it.

It’s big and beautiful. Like, “this feels more like a house than a plane” big.

Warm tan walls. Glossy. Silver accents throughout. Solid wood tables. Presidential seal on every seat belt. Couches in the lounge. Photos of the National Mall in the conference room.

The press area is 2-3x the size of the old plane’s. The seats recline all the way flat into a bed.

And yes. It has that new plane smell.
But that won’t matter to voters because the price of oil is…up, actually, from where it opened today. Definitely not trending down to pre-war levels. The GOP is going to LOVE running on how expensive this is, and that Trump thinks he gets to keep it!

Meanwhile:
According to a release from the Dutch Ministry of Defense, the HNLMS De Ruyter, an air defense frigate, has been rerouted from the Indo-Pacific towards the Strait of Hormuz to possibly take part in the EU-led international coalition to secure safe passage for commercial shipping through the strategic maritime choke point. Per the ministry of defense release the final decision to include the vessel in a potential mission in the strait has not yet been made.
I don’t think the price of oil is coming down substantially anytime soon.
