Trump On His New ‘Presidential Helicopter Squadron’ Hat: ‘Now, no other President would do this.’
The Inquisitr ^ | Dec 15, 2017 | Paula Mooney

Posted on 12/16/2017 4:17:26 AM PST by smileyface

President Donald Trump arrived back at the White House on Friday, December 15, pointing to his new hat, which read “Presidential Helicopter Squadron.” According to the remarks released by the White House via the Office of the Press Secretary, Trump spoke in Quantico, Virginia, at the Marine Corps Air Facility to Marine Helicopter Squadron One. Although Trump didn’t speak to the press upon his return to the South Lawn, he let the words “Presidential Helicopter Squadron” on his white baseball cap speak for him.

However, the words that the president spoke during his speech are what’s gaining buzz online, with President Trump claiming that no other president would wear such a hat.

“THE PRESIDENT: So they gave me this hat. It says: ‘Presidential Helicopter Squadron. Would you wear it? Now, no other President would do this. But I will, because I’m proud of you. (Applause.) I’m proud of you. What the hell.”

Trump went on to call the people listening to him “nice,” and since they were “the ones taking care of” his helicopter, Trump noted that he better be nice to the folks. Trump called himself a spoiled man who has had many helicopters.

“And we ordered a couple of big, beautiful new ones.”

Great story. One of the Presidential helicopters was parked in “my” hangar at Wright Patterson for a couple of days back in 2008. I got one of the hats in red. I asked the Marine guards if they knew what AWOL stood for. They had the stock answer. I told them the real meaning was After Women Or Liquor, lol. A female friend of mine said in my case it was after women on liquor. :>)

Have you ever seen a muzzie wear a hat, other than those Middle East diapers?

I flew briefly with HMX-1 while I was TAD to Quantico for the Orienteering Team. Not the 'White Tops', but the other squadron birds which support the training activities at Quantico.

The 'spare' White Tops had their own hangar at Quantico. I was allowed to walk through that hangar as long as I did not approach the aircraft.

I made one flight up to Anacostia to take spare parts to the stand-by White Tops. I was co-pilot for one of the Presidential pilots. When we landed at Anacostia and shut down, I was allowed to do the post-flight walk around of our CH-53, but not leave the immediate vicinity of that aircraft. At that time I was a USMC 1st Lt.

Tight security!

(That new VH-92A is going to be one nice aircraft!)

Wait a second. Is President Trump coming out as an Boeing AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter gendered individual?

(If you don’t get this joke, please don’t be offended.)
