Air Force One should have an escalator ramp for the president
Have you noticed that our Air Force One and Air Force Two president and dignitaries have to climb stairs to enter? Why? Shouldn’t they have escalators on those portable stairs? Remember the trouble Hillary Clinton had getting into her little rented Boeing 737? If he had won the presidency in November 2016, he wouldn’t be able to climb all those stairs to a 747, which is twice as much uphill as that little 737. Russian President Putin doesn’t have an escalator either, but he does have his. The plane is much smaller than a Boeing 747 like Air Force One, in fact side by side, it looks like a toy, although it has a nice interior (quote: 1).
Recently, Donald Trump was in a hurry to leave, so he ran up the stairs, got on the plane without saying goodbye to the media, and that upset the left-wing media quite a bit. Never mind, he was just trying to get going as he was running late and had to use the bathroom too. Now if the ground crew, the escalator, were an escalator, President Trump could have addressed the crowd to say goodbye and satisfy the media so they could have the iconic image of him at the time.
Of course, for the sake of time, the stairwell would have to be operated twice as long for Trump, because he could get the thing up at that speed anyway. Still, as everyone knows, when you ride a moving escalator that goes the same way, you can really make good time, and time is money. This system must be electrical and still workable as a ladder when you are not moving. This allows ordinary people, assistants, and reporters to climb the stairs. It also allows maintenance, safety details, and the flight crew to do the same.
The escalator system must have motion sensors once activated for the president or dignitary. It should go both ways: up and down, on the down movement it should be slower and go up to 3 different speed settings, slow, fast and fast. It is interesting that this does not exist yet, and it is a wonder why we have an aircraft of this caliber without this improved ground equipment feature. Consider all of this and think about it.
