Your pooler reached out to the White House regarding the inflatable slide:

“As the President has said, the slide was checked out to make sure everything works perfectly. Air Force One is on its way to Dallas so he can deliver his much-anticipated speech to a raucous and sold-out crowd.” – Steven Cheung

On background from a person briefed with the situation: “Military personnel accidentally triggered the slide.”
