The president swapped planes to dodge a security threat without telling anyone else still flying on Air Force One.

So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt. But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit. https://t.co/e9UZQyLrEv

That’s an awful lot of clandestine maneuvering to evade a country with zero military capability because we’d “destroyed it” on “day one.” 🧐

So there were people on the plane who had no clue the president wasn’t onboard due to threats. This seems really reckless with the safety of everyone else onboard that flight, does it not? https://t.co/hbTMpdApv8

The mental image of Trump hiding from Iran in a catering cart is devastating. A weak, stupid old man hiding from the consequences of his own decision while endangering others.

So the idea was to get Trump out safely while letting the journalists get vaporized? https://t.co/t45niwfzsH

So they left staff and press on the plane they didn’t think was safe enough for Trump? https://t.co/DWwIjIWRe4

Trump is under the secret Ego Protection Program. https://t.co/dS7dNN1i01

So the press was the decoy for an Iranian assassination attempt? https://t.co/OefmFvX1kc

Trump was so scared of Iran assassinating him on AF1, he secretly boarded a catering truck to sneak onto a 3rd plane—not the old AF1 or the Qatari gifted plane.When he announced he'd take the old AF1, it was a ruse. He knew that plane—with the press corp aboard—was now a decoy. https://t.co/JHC5AA1Ks1

Does this mean White House staff and members of the press were on a "bait" plane unbeknownst to them? https://t.co/TTTIEPFOwl

Whatever happened to the captain abandoning the ship LAST?Here, he abandoned FIRST!🎁 https://t.co/nECIxDd9y2 https://t.co/KoMVZHA9Yc
