There was an accelerated effort to renovate the 747 before Trump started using it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said last week the 747 would be taken out of service in October for unspecified security upgrades that would take about 60 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) &#8211; U.S. President Donald Trump departed Washington for Texas on Wednesday aboard the Air Force One plane gifted by Qatar after an emergency slide was accidentally deployed and was removed.&nbsp; Military personnel accidentally triggered the slide, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters.
