Comedian Ruby Wax recently recounted an amusing story from the 1990s involving then-billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump, a moment she now finds hilarious in hindsight. Wax, known for her sharp wit and as a
host for several BBC programs, was once in close proximity to Trump during a flight and found herself kicked off his private plane after laughing at him when he shared his aspiration to become the next President of the United States.
Wax, who was conducting an interview with Trump at the time, was in her usual pre-interview mode: enjoying a meal with the subject and allowing for informal conversation. However, things took a turn when Trump casually
mentioned his ambition to run for president—something that was met with disbelief and laughter from Wax. This seemingly harmless reaction led to a dramatic moment that ended with her being escorted off the plane.
