An inflatable slide deployed on President Donald Trump’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday before he was set to board it to head to the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.
Trump told reporters that they were “doing a check on the slide” and it will “take about 15 minutes,” before telling them it was safe to fly on.

The emergency slide of Air Force One is deployed ahead of Donald Trump’s trip to the Republican National Midterm Convention, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, September 9, 2026.
