Meh. Why the need for the vulgar ending? Was just fine without it.
Also, what is an NCB reporter?

I saw some people claim that the pilot actually said "Let's go Braves" but don't know the source for that claim

The source is the audio. TBH, it's not clear to me, but I'd lean towards Braves.

Whoops, I guess I wasn't keeping up with this earth-shattering story. Turns out the audio that was circulating was from a different flight, not the one the reporter was on.

Good for him that he took it in stride. Now if only he tried to actually make bridges and understand why so many people can't stand his policies and do something about it.

You think he comprehended what it meant?
His wife clearly did, but I don't think he did.

Think it's possible at this point that he's not familiar with the term and what it represents? Despite his cognitive decline, I find that hard to imagine. I took it as he's taking it in stride and being playful in his response. And if it's true, his current condition is far worse than I thought...

I'm sure that he knew at some point. But it seems to me based on expression/reaction that he had zero recall of that in the moment. If he did, I'd have expected something more along the lines of c'mon man or change of expression like his wife.
And I agree, that does not bode well for his rate of cognitive decline.

She understood, he clearly did not, sad to see the president of the US like that. Her fault for letting him run.

He just remained poker faced, didn't seem like he blanked out, but could be. It's crazy that we're even entertaining the possibility of the president of the USA being out to lunch.. very sad.
