Former President Donald Trump’s Boeing 757 reportedly collided with an unoccupied private jet while taxiing after landing at West Palm Beach International Airport, according to a notice from the Federal Aviation Administration. The incident involved the winglet of the Boeing 757 striking the rear elevator of a parked Vistajet. Although the extent of any damage is still unknown, no injuries were reported. The FAA has stated that it is currently investigating the incident.
There are conflicting reports as to whether the former president was on board his plane at the time of the collision. Meanwhile, the incident has also sparked discussions surrounding the former president’s future political prospects. Recent polling data shows that Trump is outperforming President Joe Biden in several battleground states, leading CNN’s senior data reporter to describe the numbers as “an absolute disaster” for Biden’s campaign.

The polls indicate that Trump is leading by significant margins in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, and is within the margin of error in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This shift in support for Trump has been attributed to a change in his coalition, with the Republican candidate gaining ground among nonwhite voters while losing some support among white voters.
The New York Times, in its survey, suggests that dissatisfaction with the current state of the country and doubts about Biden’s ability to effect positive change have contributed to Trump’s current lead. According to the Times, nearly 70 percent of voters believe that major changes are needed in the country’s political and economic systems.
In light of these developments, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has warned about the stakes of the 2024 election, stating that it is the most important election for all Americans. Flynn’s caution emphasizes the significance of the upcoming election and the need for continued support to counter the perceived influence of Big Tech and other entities.
