Trump's emergency escape slide accidentally deployed while aboard Air Force One, a special plane gifted by Qatar.

When U.S. President Trump flew to Texas on the Air Force One plane donated by Qatar on the 9th, military personnel accidentally triggered the emergency escape slide, causing it to deploy.
