Jill Biden Plays Flight Attendant, Pranks Press Pool

Apparently First Lady Jill Biden enjoys a good April Fool’s joke, as dressed up like a flight attendant named “Jasmine” and handed out ice cream bars during a flight from California to Washington, DC.

Jill Biden Pranks Press Pool By Playing Flight Attendant, Serving Ice Cream

69-year-old Biden, the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS), was in Bakersfield, CA this week. On her flight back to DC, she pranked not only the press pool, but her staff and secret service. She had brought along a wig and flight attendant uniform (including a “Jasmine” name tag).

After changing into the flight attendant outfit, she joined other Air Force stewards in the meal service (yes, apparently the White House press receives meals, unlike commercial passengers) and handed out Dove ice cream bars.

No one noticed it was her.

A few minutes later, her press secretary, Michael LaRosa, and her senior advisor, Anthony Bernal, returned to the press cabin laughing. Moments later, Biden appeared, still in flight attendant uniform, took her wig off, and shouted, “April fools!”

Everyone burst out laughing. Reporters noted the FLOTUS was “visibly pleased with her prank.”

This isn’t Biden’s first time pranking onboard an airplane. During the Obama Administration, she hid in the overhead bin onboard Air Force Two and startled staff.

In her memoir she stated:

“I’ve always believed you’ve got to steal the joyful moments when you can. Life is difficult, and if you sit around waiting for fun to show up, you’ll find yourself going without it more often than not.”

CONCLUSION

It sounds like the FLOTUS is quite fun to be around. I can only imagine the reaction onboard.

And one small technical matter. Although the aircraft, a modified Boeing 757, is used by presidents on trips in which the 747 cannot be accommodated, the flight is only called Air Force One when the President is onboard. Other headlines saying this occurred on Air Force One are simply inaccurate.

    What did the political commentaries say?

    The reporters were detained and sentenced to death for not recognizing the Dear First Lady but the Great President commuted the sentence.

    Dr. Biden is one of the best First Ladies in history as she helps Air Force personnel so that they can get the rest they truly deserve. Thank you for her service!

    The First Lady on a wasteful junket to California while her husband’s advisors in the CDC condemn travel and tell Americans not to travel. Do what I say not as I do.

    Dr. Biden showed that she has a marvelous and joking relationship with the press unlike the previous first lady, who was a stooge of Cheeto and a MAGAt.

    The fact that nobody, even smart reporters recognized her proves that she should fly commercial, maybe with a Secret Service agent or two. Use the money saved to help the poor.

    Hopefully she’s a better flight attendant than she is a Spanish speaker.

    How nice the elite media and political class have hot meals on planes when us common folk are left with peanuts and bottled water. Someday people are going to get tired of this and do something about it.

    As far as I know, she’s the only woman in the world that Joe can consensually manhandle.

    What a wonderful breath of fresh air after the toxicity of the Trump years, including the sourpuss FLOTUS and her cretinous demeanour/agenda….
    Plus she has lovely dogs..

    I wonder if Joe smelled her wig when she got back to the White House?
