Donald Trump is an absolute idiot of epic proportions. But he’s also a self-proclaimed Putin lapdog — which sometimes makes it difficult to discern where his idiocy ends and his loyalty and admiration to Russia begin.
That’s exactly what happened when Trump sent out a since-deleted tweet this morning that essentially suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aircraft would be making an appearance at Donald’s Fourth of July shit show this evening.
“Perhaps even Aircraft One will do a low & loud sprint over the crowd,” the second installment of Donald’s promotion tweet read this morning.
America’s presidential jet is called “Air Force One.” And coincidentally enough, Russia’s presidential jet is, in fact, “Aircraft One.”
For those who are curious, there’s a Russian state TV documentary about Putin’s plane (available on streaming services) called “Aircraft One.”

While this could have been an honest mistake, much like Trump’s mere existence, we naturally can’t simply ignore the stinking fishy-ness of it. If it truly is a coincidental slip-up, it’s certainly one of epic proportions considering Trump’s shoved so far up Vladimir Putin’s ass that he can’t see the light of day.
Several parody accounts jumped all over this massive Freudian slip — with The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz posting a parody article titled “Trump’s Fourth of July Parade to Include Flyover by Russian Air Force.”
The bad thing is, at this point, you’d have to check to even know for certain that it’s satire.
Trump went back about an hour later and deleted his original thread, reposting his tweets with the correct name of America’s presidential jet. However, dirty deleting will never take away screenshots.
And of course, Borowitz was far from the only one that had a little fun with Trump’s disastrous fuck-up. Twitter did its duty and properly destroyed him:
Before you defend Trump for writing Aircraft One, @dmartosko, you should note that’s not the plane’s callsign ever. It is, however, the callsign of the Russian president’s plane. https://t.co/lP3W8YS36X

“Aircraft One” 😂😂😂😂 I love all of these Trump supporters jumping into to explain to all the liberals what “Aircraft One” is, when the same dumbasses don’t know that “Aircraft One is what the Russians call Putin’s plane. Again, they look foolish defending the Orange Cheeto.

So?
When Trump was given blue & red crayons, & the outline of a US flag.. he managed to color it as the Russian flag
Trump called Air Force One, “Aircraft One” …which is the Russian President’s plane
Mueller found 251 inappropriate contacts by Trump team and RussiaPutinistan?

“Aircraft One” is the callsign for the Russian presidential plane. It’s nickname is “Kremlin in the air.”
POTUS’ plane is called “Air Force One.”
Well done.

It’s worth noting that Trump deleted and corrected his tweet to use the designation of Air Force One. It’s never called Aircraft One. This is why trying to defend his mistakes is such a fool’s errand.

Donald must have been fantasizing about Putin’s receding hairline when he penned this tweet.
