“He said he wanted to be the next president of the United States, so I started laughing. Who wouldn’t think that’s funny? So he said,’I’ve had enough of you. Land the plane.’ So he lands the plane, and now I’m with my crew in Arkansas. We weren’t heading for Arkansas!” she explained.
Wax later joked about her continued concerns regarding Trump’s behavior, stating, “I would think we’re all scared he’s going to push the button, but not the nuke one, the one to send out another shite tweet.”
