Pilot threatens to divert plane full of Trump supporters who refused to wear masks

- A pilot working for American Airlines was annoyed when a group of passengers turned his plane into a marketplace

- The MAGA supporters chanted, shouted and declined to wear their masks

- Whenever staff on the plane asked them to settle down, they ignored the pleas and kept shouting

- The pilot then threatened to divert the plane and dump each one of them in Kansas

“Today is going to be a good day,” a US pilot probably thought to himself as he hopped out of bed and headed to work.

Lol, then his day turned into a nightmare when he had to fly a bunch of rowdy President Donald Trump supporters.

The group affiliated with the sitting US president filled up an American Airlines flight on Friday, January 8, and turned it into their rioting ground.

When the Phoenix bound aircraft took off from Washington DC, the group started chanting in unison.

“USA, USA, USA,” they shouted as the plane started moving.

During an interview with DailyMail, the airline stated that cabin crew on the plane urged the passengers to calm down and put on their masks but they refused to listen.

At one point, the pilot addressed the group through a loudspeaker and said he was ready to land the plane in the middle of Kansas and throw out the rowdy goons.

“We’ll put this plane down. I don’t care,” he let out.
