    Gross incompetence from Marine One

    No response from tower and he just takes off anyway? I realize they don’t technically have to follow FAA regs, but those regs exist for a reason. Each and every one of them are written in blood

    Should have gotten affirmative clearance from tower

      If Trump says take off anyway, they will. Likely as not Trump was having a fit and demanded they take off immediately he’s not going to wait for anyone.
