First lady Melania Trump's airplane reportedly was forced to return to Andrews Air Force Base after a smoke condition developed in the jet while it was en route to Philadelphia.

Problem aboard First Lady's plane, returning to @Andrews_JBA. Press pool aboard reports "thin haze of smoke" was visible and the smell of something burning. Passengers given wet towels to breathe through. Told a "mechanical issue" was detected.

She looks good in pretty much everything... except that dress. It ain’t working for her...

[houeto]

To me KC, that is the least attractive outfit that I’ve seen her wear.

Yep!! Michelle traveled the globe 100 times and never had this problem! I call it sabotage indeed!!!

Right over the Delaware Memorial Bridge into Pennsville,NJ. The Italian Kitchen. Best dang cheese steaks and Italian subs on the planet. Just ask Bruce Willis.

Pat’s cheesesteak?

Gino's Cheesesteak!

Sabotage in the fuselage?

Prayers for safety, for our dear FLOTUS.

[COBOL2Java]

For the love of God, why is she coming here to Philly?

Capogiro's in Midtown Village?

Unfortunately the suburbs are democrat

Sabotage?

That’s where I am...

Unfortunately, you’re right.

That is just how much the left hates Trump.

[proud American in Canada]

LOL!

And she is just gracious enough to have some cheesesteak! :)

She may go to lettuce for a while...

Smoke signals from Liz Warren’s teepee?

That is too bad. So much history; I was there as a child.

Philly needs a renovation, then. Maybe we could get Will Smith on board! Fresh Prince...

I come from Chicago. I think we all need a bunch of Guilianis to get involved. MAGA!

[proud American in Canada]

Thanks for the ping! Lovely as always. :)

[VanDeKoik]

Someone is soooooo going to get fired.

I thought it was a Non-Smoking flight.

Philly, Camden, Chester, Wilmington, and Baltimore make the mid Atlantic I-95 corridor shithole collector set.

Now, imagine being a young, white, reasonably decent-looking, riding an old Sportster on that very corrider, and breaking down completely, somewhere around Jessup, MD.

Because that's what happened to me in 1993. I was coming home from Rolling Thunder with my late husband. Luckily, he was on a different bike(a big FLH, which I was incapable of riding so the HE could push the Sporty!), which he rode slowly beside me as I walked the Sporty down the ramp to repair shop. I had to leave the Sporty behind and ride "bad word meaning a female canine" all the way back to MA (a totally humiliating experience which I hadn't had to do since 1973) Then the crummy people at the repair shop closed the shop and took my bike with them. They held her for ransom ($3000.00) until three months later when some members of my riding club went down in a pick-up truck to MD to rescue the Sporty. I had to do quite a bit of "skip-tracing to find the guy, and the Sporty was in his backyard. To this day, I SHUDDER at the mere mention of Baltimore and its environs.

This seems to happen quite often to the Trumps. I wonder why?
