«If you would have see what we had to go through in the darkened plane with all window closed with no light anywhere,» Trump said. «Pitch black.»
During President Donald Trump’s unannounced visit to troops in Iraq on Wednesday—his first trip to troops deployed to a combat zone since he was elected—he admitted he had been concerned about making the trip.
The president said blacked-out windows inside the plane and unspecified concerns for first lady Melania Trump—who made the trip as well—had left him wary.
“I had concerns about the institution of the presidency,» Trump said in response to a question about the subject while in Iraq, via a pool report . «Not for myself personally. I had concerns for the first lady, I will tell you. But if you would have see what we had to go through in the darkened plane with all window closed with no light anywhere. Pitch black. I’ve been on many airplanes. All types and shapes and sizes… So did I have a concern? Yes, I had a concern.
