Trump’s Q&A on Air Force One goes from the plane’s color scheme to the fate of TikTok and Canada

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President Donald Trump hasn’t been shy about sharing his thoughts since taking office, and he added a 20-minute Q&A with reporters aboard Air Force One to the mix. Trump called Air Force One a “special plane” but observed that it hasn’t changed much from his last term. “Otherwise, you’re not going to have a job.” Trump also said he’s not worried about existing federal employees leaving and the talent pool to find replacements being diminished: “We have very deep talent. “It has nothing to do with the United States, other than we’re the one that can provide the freedom.” The president also made some of his most extensive comments about his recent suggestions that Canada could become part of the U.S. “I love Canada,” he said. And, if it’s a state, the people of Canada will pay a much lower tax.” He said Canadians would also “have no military problems, they’d be much more secure in every way, and I think it’s a great thing for Canada.” “I view it as, honestly, a country that should be a state,” he said.
