Khaberni - American President Donald Trump revealed that he does not sleep during his flights on board the plane.
This came during a speech he delivered today, Thursday, while participating in the traditional National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
Trump said he prefers "looking out the window and monitoring enemies and missiles instead of sleeping during flights," which caused the audience to laugh.
American network Fox News reported that Trump has long been known to avoid sleeping during his flights on the presidential plane.
During international flights, Trump typically stays in the front cabin, where he usually does four things: eating, watching TV or reading newspapers, talking to staff, and contacting friends and allies as per a CNN report.
Monitoring media and tweeting on social media
Trump is known to be an avid news follower while flying, spending hours watching recorded news on a device similar to a digital recorder, and channels such as Fox News and CNN, as well as spending time tweeting or posting on social media platforms.
Conducting meetings with advisors
Trump prefers an interactive work style; he summons his senior advisors or accompanying journalists to his private cabin to conduct informal discussions about polls, upcoming speeches, or current political crises.
Conduct diplomatic and political phone calls
The presidential plane is a fully integrated command center; thus, Trump utilizes the time to make phone calls with world leaders, Congress members, or his political allies, as the plane is equipped with secure and encrypted communication systems.
The dietary routine and food preferences
Several reports have indicated that Trump prefers eating fast food, such as "McDonald's" or "Kentucky", in addition to large amounts of "Diet Cola" on board the plane. The plane includes two kitchens capable of feeding 100 people simultaneously, but he prefers very specific meals.
Air Force One
The American presidential plane "Air Force One" is a flying command center with 4,000 square feet spread over three floors. It also features the ability to refuel in mid-air, giving it an unlimited flight range to reach any point in the world at any moment.
From a logistical standpoint, the plane offers a complete presidential suite that includes an office and a meeting hall, alongside a medical suite equipped for surgery that always has a doctor present. The plane, which bears the presidential seal and the American flag, is operated by the "Presidential Airlift Group" associated with the Military Office of the White House, which was established in 1944.
