Due to circumstances out of my control, I'm watching ABC evening news .

throughout they emphasize that the plane was filled with people who had no idea there was a threat to AF1. As if the SS could smuggle the whole plan off on a food cart and have that not tip off the Iranians.



This quote:
"When we asked staff how trump felt about leaving members of his cabinet and reporters on a plane that was a possible target and switching to a safer plane they said "he loved it". Obviously he didn't " love" leaving people to possibly be a rocket victim. He loved the action of it all.

Talk about subliminal messaging.

NPR has been extra salty over this. These dumb assholes think they should be protected at the expense of POTUS...

They knew there was a threat. The news was running the story all day that Trump was switching planes. Lol.

People are melting way too much over this. Sorry but cabinet members and media are replaceable the president must be protected by all means.

This includes Biden and Obama before bunk comes to cry about it or try a gotcha

That's what they sign-up for when taking the job. To minimize risk and whining, get another job. Anyone can read and report fiction.

I don’t understand why this is being reported as scandalous. Does the media not realize AF1 is a big target for America’s enemies?

Yep, heard NPR hammering this.

Dumb bitch from NYT whining that it ‘erodes trust between the press and WH’

There is no trust. Zero trust.

MSM totally delusional.

Everything else aside, that's when I would have said, "Nah, Cap......something ain't right. I've got a few points stored up, Imma just chill here and catch a commercial flight, maybe hit up the lounge for few drinks beforehand."

And it's not like there was a super significant threat anyway. It was probably like a 5% greater risk.

Unless I'm mistaken, no one on the plane other than maybe his top guys knew Trump was going to hop off. They asked staff about it after the fact.

Too bad they didn't shoot down a plane of reporters and not Trump.

Some dead lawyer jokes and dead reporter jokes could be interchangeable.

They have their talking points, like parrots. Due to circumstances out of my control, I was watching NBC evening news last night, verbatim to their lead-in.

They would have cheered as Rubio & Bessent were on board,

Given very real security concerns, the mediots can go screw themselves.
