THIS is dramatic moment Donald Trump swoops into Davos in a squadron of seven choppers to meet with the world’s leaders and elite business kingpins.

Landing in the heavily guarded spot in the Swiss Alps, the maverick leader stepped out of “Marine One”.

Flag patches on US military uniforms left and right shoulders are the same way, one is opposite the other...................

“Well done Hawks...I’ll get you a case of beer for that one!”..(Lt Col Bill Kilgore)

[PMAS]

Probably told her to stay home just in case

[Paulie]

Cool. Very cool.

In the military, the flag is always oriented with the stars in the forward direction. We go forward, never retreat.

It would have been AWESOME if they had blasted “Ride of the Valkeries” as Marine One and its escorts flew in!

What a great day it is today! MAGA!

...the maverick leader stepped out of “Marine One”...

The maverick leader?!!!! The Leader of the free world!

Donald Trump is in mortal danger as the Deep State gets more desperate by the day. If they were going to take him out, foreign soil would be a good place to do it.

But I'm sure he's acutely aware of that.

“Was this an issue of his safety?”

Trump wants to display a show of force to give credence to stories about the FBI, DOJ, deep state... plot to harm him physically. Subtil yet very convincing message.
Trump is a master communicator.

I don't know about 7, but I think a multiple is standard for any president.

Setting aside that it was 0bama, but I saw him come in to Ames, IA. He had a contingent of 4 choppers. Again, setting aside who it was, it was pretty cool how the choppers flew. They weren't in any particular formation, they sped up and slowed down and moved around each other. Hard to keep tabs on which one was which--shell game so to speak. Good job by the Marines protecting the CIC.

WTF? Aside from the obvious "homage" to "Apocalypse Now" ... why are Japanese helos blowing up a Medieval Castle?

[forgotten man]

I think Francis Ford Coppola only used 4 helicopters in filming Apocalypse now. With careful film editing he made it look like he had dozens of helicopters.

[Maudeen]

Keep praying everyone! God is in control and He is the Great Protector.

[Paulie]

“Can’t imagine he will be popular with that group.”

Maybe not but on the other hand, it’s not always the most popular guy that gets the job done.

I bet the first order of business was to make sure they all knew this is no apology tour, like 0bama.

[Celtic Conservative]

Standard procedure designed to give the enemy multiple targets. Which helicopter the president is on in the formation is changed randomly and switched often. Hattip to Tom Clancy.

Why is the flag reversed on that side?

The Flag is always shown so it has the appearance of "advancing".

[Vendome]

Cue the music....

Napalm?

[GOPJ]

Yes, yes they were!

How did they get Trump into every helicopter in the convoy?

The clip is from a Japanese anime called GATE. A bunch of marauders from a Tolkein-esque fantasy world regularly use a gate to travel to other worlds to plunder them. Eventually the marauders opened a gate on Earth that happened to be in Tokyo. They invaded abd wreaked havoc until the Japanese military came in. Then the military went through the gate for payback. The helicopter scene was a rescue of an allied castle from a siege that happened later in the story.
