“The plane was on the perfect and everyday approach line to the airport. The helicopter was straight on an airplane for a long time,” Trump wrote.
“It was a sunny night, the light of the plane was burning up. Why did the helicopter go up or rot, why the control tower did not ask if I saw the plane? This is a bad situation that should be prevented!
