More important than armrests are voting machines.

Mandatory electronic monitoring of the voting machines!

Removable. It looks too big to be moveable.

“Removeable” is not the same as “fold-up,” or am I missing something?

Come on, she didn’t claim and he didn’t pull the first class armrest up and out of the seat!

No mention of the other passenger who said nothing happened.

The item says removable by a flight intendant or “a knowledgable passenger.” Trump was not such a passenger. If you look at the thing, it doesn’t look removable. The were removable, typically, for cleaning. This isn’t the same a lifting up an armrest. When removed, the armrest would have to be placed somewhere. It doesn’t fit between between the seats.

Trump is proved innocent.

"removable" it says. Meaning the whole cinder-block sized armrest would be separated from the seat.

So this Leeds chick was so freakin' hot, that Trump pried up this armrest just to get to her ... And what did he do with the armrest once it was out? Stow it in the overhead bin? Hold onto it with one arm while he groped her? Hard to be an octopus with one free arm.

So ‘reporter’ Jon Ostrower doesn’t know the difference between ‘movable’ and ‘removable’? Or is he just counting on his readers being idiots (probably with justification)?

CNN is populated by idiots, liars and hacks. This doesn’t prove squat. “Removable” armrest isn’t the same as an armrest that can be raised. “Removable” means just that - it can be taken out completely, and specifically so the areas beneath can be cleaned. If you remove it, it must be stowed somewhere. The allegation was that Trump raised the armrest, that that he “removed” the armrest.

More likely is the story that this is the same Leeds that was pissed at the Donald for planting a row of ficus trees on one of his golf courses to keep some houses out of view of golfers, but simultaneously obscuring the view of the ocean FROM those houses. Leeds was one of the homeowners.

Who seriously remembers the events of a routine flight. Trump wasn’t even famous then.

1. Article says armrest is REMOVABLE and must be stowed else ware by the cabin crew. Doesn’t just easily fold up as the woman implied
2. The fuselage of the 727 is NOT identical to the 707. The 727 was a 3 engine aircraft with one engine in the tail. All FOUR engines on the 707 were on the wings.
CNN as usual is full of crap.
