Wednesday’s Wasilla already ran. This is Thursday’s unused Arizona microphone.
Associated Press, Will Weissert / Mike Catalini / Jonathan J. Cooper, via PBS, Wednesday, Bullhead City: President Trump held an airport rally at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport. He showed off the new Air Force One — the former Qatari jet, now in a red, white, blue, and gold paint scheme — and defended accepting the luxury plane from the Qatari royal family. “When you’re given gifts, you take ’em, right?” “When they give you a 747 you say two words: ‘thank you.’” A gift is not a Senate result. A speech is not a vote. Wednesday’s unused file was ~90 minutes in Wasilla, two pardons, a $5,000 pledge. We will not reprint those as first-day news.
Same AP file: he said he learned the Qataris had “the best of all the 747s,” called to borrow the aircraft, and the emir offered it as a gift instead. He accepted it last year despite bipartisan criticism, including from some of his own Republicans. He was there for Rep. Andy Biggs, who is running against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. AP: Trump said Biggs “will always stand with law enforcement” and that Hobbs “does the bidding of the cartels” on the border. Hobbs counters that she sent National Guard troops and boosted local law-enforcement funding. Republicans running in the state’s two competitive U.S. House districts, Jay Feely and Rep. Juan Ciscomani, did not attend. Mohave County, AP: higher poverty and unemployment than the state and the nation. Trump won that county with 78% in 2024. 78% in 2024 is not a Nov. 3 result we invent.
Same AP file: after Arizona he headed to Western Montana’s 1st District to boost Aaron Flint, a former aide to retiring Rep. Ryan Zinke. Opponent: Sam Forstag. White House press secretary Katie Zacharia called the pace a “midterm blitz.” That listing is not a Kalispell transcript we invent. Nov. 3 is still the election. We will not invent Arizona. We will not invent Montana. We will not reprint Wednesday’s unused two pardons or the $5,000 pledge as first-day news.
What this means for you
If you needed Wednesday’s unused politics, it still stands as ~90 minutes in Wasilla, two pardons, a pledge that is not a check. If you needed this morning’s unused file, it is Bullhead City, a 747 he said to thank, Biggs vs Hobbs. If you needed a Senate result, or Kalispell’s unused remarks, wait.
Bottom line: Bullhead. Thank you for the 747. Biggs vs Hobbs. Not Wasilla reprinted. Not a vote.
