        Probably heard the Russkis had plans to intercept Air Force One and thought he was giving them the slip. Everything this man did was cold, calculated, cynical, and driven by his massive ego. Don't try to whitewash him now.

        No fuel would have been saved if you take into account the camera and makeup crew, plus security detail that had to fly with him. Just a publicity stunt.

        Pretty funny. King of price controls would have appreciated setting the price of oil at 5 bucks I. 1956. What a disaster.

        Not even Trump would be this thoughtful. To save fuel he would allow Melania to fly on same plane as him.

        Nixon had his faults but what a huge upgrade he would be to what we have today.

        And Air Force 1followed the DC-10back to Washington. So where was the savings?
