WE DO A LITTLE TROLLING😆: Was It Planned? Photo Catches Hilarious Image in Edge of Mirror Right Behind Trump

What happens when you get two of Western culture’s most prolific trolls together?

Well, for one, the Department of Government Efficiency and the dismantling of USAID, but that’s a bit more serious and not quite as trollsome. No, instead, you get pictures like this of President Donald Trump holding a model of a supersonic airliner mock-up.

It sure seems like something Elon Musk would cook up. And, in fact, he was there — but you had to look really hard.

The plane itself is pretty cool — we’ll get to that in a second — but let’s zoom in, shall we?

The plane Trump is holding is a mock-up presented to the president last week by the CEO of Boom Technology during a White House visit. The plane is known as the Overture, which is expected to enter service in 2029. The plane is slated to be the first supersonic airliner since the Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde was retired from service in 2003.

If you’re wondering why this is such a big deal — after all, the Concorde first flew in 1969 — it’s worth noting why only 20 of the Anglo-French plane were eventually built after an expensive, high-profile development period.

Supersonic planes produce what’s known as a “sonic boom.” For those unfamiliar, because the plane moves so quickly, it produces waves of air compression that can be heard on the ground because the plane is traveling faster than the air it compresses.
