Added stress for the Former President who is currently in court facing a number of charges related to alleged hush money payments paid to former pornstar Stormy Daniels
Donald Trump’s private plane has hit another jet while taxiing at an airport.
The Former President’s Boeing 757 clipped a corporate jet at West Palm Beach International Airport in Florida on Sunday. The Federal Aviation Administration has revealed that a privately owned 757 connected with an unoccupied jet.
The FAA statement did not identify the plane as belonging to Trump but source close to the matter did. The FAA added that the collision happened in a part of the airport where they do not direct planes.
An investigation has been launched.
Trump’s 757 is often used as a prop in his airport rallies including one rally in Ohio in March where a voice announced: “Trump Force One, you are cleared for landing.”

Trump bought his $100 million Boeing 757, which was built in 1991, in 2010 which included gold plated accents, two private guestrooms, a dining area and an extensive entertainment system.
This comes as Donald Trump said that “women would hate” him if the allegations of an affair with Stormy Daniels went public during his 2016 presidential campaign, Michael Cohen testified.
Trump’s ex-fixer and lawyer who now testifies against him in his hush money criminal trial, described in a New York courtroom the then-candidate’s reaction when he learned that porn actress Stormy Daniels was looking to sell her story of a sexual affair with Trump to the press.
Cohen said: “(Trump) said to me, ‘This is a disaster, a total disaster, women are going to hate me. This is really a disaster. Women will hate me. Guys, they think it’s cool. But this is going to be a disaster for the campaign.'”
Cohen indicated that Trump believed his voters, particularly the female voters, would think less of him and be deterred from voting for him if they learned that he had a sexual encounter with Daniels. Notably, Trump believed that male voters wouldn’t care about it, per Cohen’s testimony.
Trump’s defence team has been trying to establish in court that Trump wanted to protect his family from embarrassing details about his life going public, rather than his presidential campaign. But Cohen also testified that Trump “wasn’t thinking about” his wife, Melania, when he was trying to cover up his alleged extramarital affairs.
Cohen said that, when he raised Melania to Trump, the ex-president said: “Don’t worry…How long do you think I’ll be on the market for? Not long.” Cohen added that Trump “wasn’t thinking about Melania. This was all about the campaign.”
