After accepting CNN invitation for debate on June 27 in Atlanta, Biden confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, “I’ve also received and accepted an invitation to a debate hosted by ABC on Tuesday, September 10th.”
“Trump says he’ll arrange his own transportation. I’ll bring my plane, too. I plan on keeping it for another four years,” he added.
Biden was obviously referring to Air Force One, the presidential jet.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump said that it his “great honor” to accept the CNN Debate against “crooked” Biden, who according to him was the “worst president” in the history of the US. Likewise, he also accepted the ABC News debate against Biden.

Netizens troll Biden over plans to keep plane for another four years
Netizens reacted to Biden’s remarks on the plane, reminding him that “Air Force One is owned by the American people.”
“Do you know why Air Force One is the top enemy of Crooked & Pedo Joe? Because Air Force One is owned by the American people,” one X user reacted.
Another user remarked that the Commander-in Chief believes that Air Force One is his. “That might explain why he felt it was ok as VP to fly Hunter with him on Air Force Two as they did business around the world, including in China.”
“Mr. President, you don’t own a plane – Air Force One is owned by the American people (and arguably the Ukrainian people). You are in DC to serve but you talk and act like we should be serving you. You have served your own interests in Washington for 50 years – time to go,” a third user chimed in.
“I’ll bring my plane too. He’s talking like he’s 6,” a fourth user reacted, while the fifth one said: “Biden is jealous of Trump’s Jet.”
