Turbulence Cuts Short Trump Press Gaggle on Air Force One After Lavatory Door Bumps His Shoulder

The moment occurred during his customary press-pool stop en route to Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • A Forbes video shows a nearby lavatory door slightly striking President Trump’s right shoulder as he spoke with reporters in the aisle.
  • Trump tapped on the door and invited the occupant to exit, but the person hesitated and remained inside.
  • Minutes later the jet encountered rough air, and Trump told the press pool to take their seats before ending the exchange.
  • As he walked back through the cabin, a stronger jolt led him to steady himself against the wall.
  • Correspondents reported no injuries or official comments, and the flight proceeded toward scheduled appearances in Pennsylvania.
