Daily Shows Ronny Chieng has questions about Trumps NATO plane switch

Donald Trump departed the NATO summit in Turkey on a different plane than he arrived on. The president landed in Ankara aboard his shiny new $400 million Qatari-gifted Boeing 747-8, but flew home in the old Air Force One.

And The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng has questions.

"OK, first off, how do you fly back on a different plane? Like, did they bring both Air Force Ones? Is that why there's no gas in the world anymore? Because the president flies with an extra emotional support plane?" the host asked on Thursday night.

"Also, you know what happens anytime they switch planes on you, OK? Trump definitely lost his luggage. He's calling them like, 'Hey, did you guys find a box? It says 'Epstein.' Don't open it.'"

According to the New York Times, the Secret Service cited security concerns with the Qatari plane amid the U.S.' ongoing war with Iran.

"Of course, we have to abandon the Qatari plane for security concerns. Of course, that happened. This is why, when it comes to the most important plane in the world, you don't go certified pre-owned," said Chieng.

"America should spring for a new one, and Trump should give the Qatar plane to...I don't know, give it to Southwest. I'll fly in it. I don't care if they spy on me. What are you gonna do? Find out I'm watching my own movies on the entertainment system? I'm not ashamed. I'm great in them."
