Donald Trump, wordsmith and overall genius (his words, not ours), managed to get lost on the Presidential plane, known as Air Force One.
What’s more hilarious, he got lost while giving his wife Melania a tour, which would imply this wasn’t his first time on board. The claim comes from a former White House stenographer, Beck Dorey-Stein, in the book “From the Corner of the Oval,” out in stores this week.

Dorey-Stein worked for the Obama administration and 2 months under the Trump administration. Those 2 months were more than enough to know that she could no longer be impartial and that she could no longer stand being in Trump’s presence, she writes in the book, as cited by People Magazine.

Of the anecdotes included in the book, perhaps the funniest is how Trump somehow managed to get lost on a plane. Sure, it’s one of the safest, most high-tech planes in the world, but at the end of the day, it’s still just a plane.

“After takeoff, Trump gets lost while giving Melania a tour of the plane,” Dorey-Stein writes. The Presidential couple had started on a trip to their Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“I don’t know how he gets lost, but he does. Air Force One is a beautiful bird, but it’s no different from any other commercial 747 in that there’s one narrow hallway that takes you from the front to the back,” the former stenographer continues.

Also on board of Air Force One, Trump did his best to intimidate Dorey-Stein by invading her personal space, much like he did with Hilary Clinton during the electoral debates. Obama would have never done such a thing, Dorey-Stein says.

Another thing Obama would have never done: turn the White House into his personal playground, which is exactly what Trump did.

“The West Exec parking lot is no longer filled with Priuses and Chevys but with Porsches and Maseratis,” she writes. “The black frames that line the West Wing no longer display photographs of POTUS shaking hands with worlds leaders, little kids, and wounded warriors, instead, it’s a pathetic display of inauguration day crowds with the aerial shots cropped tight in the attempt to establish yet another ‘alternative fact.'”

Oh, burn!
