Trump Unveils New Air Force One Helicarrier

CAMP SPRINGS, MD — At Joint Base Andrews on Friday, President Donald Trump unveiled the next Air Force One, a massive battle-ready airborne aircraft carrier, which he affectionately called a "Helicarrier."

The intimidating mobile command center was reportedly shipped over piece by piece from Qatar and painstakingly rebuilt in America. It is approximately six times the size of the previous Air Force One and capable of launching offensive strikes against the president's enemies at a moment's notice.

"Air Force One was state-of-the-art for its time, but still just a glorified passenger jet, believe me. But this baby can take out a small country like it's nothing," he said, snapping his fingers, "which I think we can all agree is something the president should have."

It even has a McDonald's.

Trump only took a few questions from the press, preferring to spend the majority of his time pointing out the cool air turbines that allow the hellicarrier to hover in place as it rains down missiles from above.

Kaitlan Collins of CNN asked, "Mr. President, even if this was a gift from Qatar and didn't cost the American taxpayers much, don't you think it's a bit overkill?"

Trump only laughed. "Now I can destroy all of my enemies, even you journalists," he said with a laugh as the crowd grew increasingly silent. "Quiet, piggy."

At publishing time, U.S. intelligence intercepted communication from Iran asking Qatar why on earth they would send Trump a Helicarrier.

Looks like the HQ of Sgt. Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. after his Howling Commandos gig.

It’s from the marvel shows. It is SHIELD HQ.

Thank you. I remember buying every Sgt. Fury comic as a child. I couldn’t get into him as a spy. They might of even got back together in Viet Nam if I remember. Thought they were too old for that.

Truly a Flying Fortress, a worthy successor to the WWII bomber which had the same designation, the B-17. The later Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the re-engineered heavy bomber and perhaps the greatest propeller-driven combat aircraft of all time, showed the way to the future as its history unfolded.

It is like the way DummiecRats govern. They think nice words can solve problems of supply/demand. Education. Energy

Ah, that’s what the antigravity pods are for.

But Nick Fury is black! At least that is what Hollywood thinks. I guess race swapping is nothing new. At least we know that the Equalizer is black, oh wait, he was race swapped too?

Isn’t Nick Fury a WWII vet? How do they get around the fact he must be 100+?
