President Donald Trump is superstitious, and he’s not afraid to let people know. During his second term, the President even admitted to his superstitious tendencies when he announced he was delaying his ‘Liberation Day’ reciprocal tariff announcement to April 2, fearing an April 1st deadline would coincide with April Fool’s Day. While campaigning, he always ends his rally tour before Election Day in Grand Rapids, Michigan because he’s “a little bit superstitious.” But what the president does before boarding a flight will really leave you wondering what to do the next time you’re getting on a plane.
