https://www.inquirer.com/politics/nation/donald-trump-plane-engine-failure-20220309.htmlTrump was forced to make an emergency landing in New Orleans last weekend after suffering engine failure over the Gulf of Mexico.
The details of the emergency landing, first reported by Politico, were confirmed Wednesday by a person familiar with the incident who was not authorized to speak publicly about it and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The engine failure occurred shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday as the former president was traveling on a donor's private plane from a Republican National Committee donor retreat in New Orleans back to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. One of the plane's engines failed roughly 75 miles (120 kilometers) after leaving New Orleans Lakefront Airport, according to the person familiar with the incident.
Trump was traveling with advisers, a Secret Service detail and support staff.

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

The optics of FF45's bloated corpse bobbing in the gulf like shark chum are rather satisfying...
