We have a leader who has one agenda, steal as much money as he can while he can.
He left everyone else on the plane as decoys. The Expendables.
I hope the next time it will be in the honey truck….wouldn't that be more dignifying 😂
22:52 so Putin uses a “body double” for public appearances, evidently fearing assassins wherever he goes. Trump may well employ the same tactic. Imagine a DJT body double. 😅
"The Coward of the Country"
BREAKING: Julian Epstein: “I'M A LONGTIME DEMOCRAT FIGHTING FOR GOP'S MIKE ROGERS, AND MY PARTY'S SOUL, IN MICHIGAN”
The pilots the security on that decoy Air Force -1 knew he was not on it but not the staff and members of the press that is cowardly
Every American should be outrageous that the Iranians were attempting to assassinate our president. It is absolutely incredible that he was able to take defensive actions and be removed from the danger.
The catering truck didn't notice because they thought they were just taking out the garbage.
Trump would have pardoned the Senator jailed for corruption if he were a Republican. He would have found an excuse that the sentencing was too harsh.
REALIZE THAT NOW TRUMP HAS PLACED CATERERS LIVES IN JEOPARDY IF THEY GET NEAR AF1.
Maybe the pressure should finally turn their back on this fool
Look, the press needs to stand back and think clear, the press is actually gaining next to nothing going on airforce1 with Trump, it's actually Trump who is the beneficiary, so take the power from Trump, refuse to fly on airforce1 with Trump.
Boy the left has such terrible tds that they're literally upset that our President will take measures to stay safe and alive even in the territories of known terrorists.
🦆💨
Our ultimate reality TV President just redefined "leadership," making Harrison Ford’s character in Air Force One look like an absolute fool. While Ford's fictional President stayed behind to "fight, fight, fight" and save his family, crew, and country, this real-life draft dodging "Stable Genius" prefers the tactical stealth of a catering truck. When an intelligence threat appeared before the plane was even airborne, he pulled a David Copperfield act, slipped into a food-service vehicle, and vanished into thin air. Even a basic guard dog has the decency to bark and alarm the pack when danger approaches, but apparently, our reality TV "royalty" thinks protecting his people means using his own staff and the traveling press corps as unsuspecting, sitting-duck decoys. It seems real-world scriptwriters are much darker than Hollywood, leaving the civilian crew to unknowingly anchor a target while the star of the show sneaks out with the snacks.
They asked the press core to lower their window blinds, so that they couldn't see Trump sneeking away in a catering cart.
wow, maga, show us your tough guy strong man hiding in a food cart. Maga morons prove everyday that they will believe taco's lies every hour. Problem is, they are the only ones who will support a broken old wrinkle orange bag liar. Good news, more are jumping off the sinking ship every day. Taco showed very good that he does not care about anyone but himself. So……
Brave hard man Trump deceives his press core, leaving them as decoys on airforce1 and to be possibly killed by an Iranian missile, nice one Trump you really are Mr major SCUM.
Biden traveled to Ukraine for goodness sakes during the war
I think it's pretty darn clear that Trump was all about himself. He doesn't give two hoots about even his own staff.
“We” dot do anything of the sort… Trump did.
He’s a big tough guy when he hides behind the secret service and the U.S. military.
He’s a coward
Just how “nefarious” are people of a country towards the leader of another country who killed all of the leaders of that country in an unannounced and unprovoked attack? Are you describing trump or someone else?
@25:50… stop making excuses for this behavior! Doing whatever they need to do to get him to another plane is one that NG… “volunteering” a bunch of journalists as decoys (and putting them in harms way), is not just “this is how it works in war”… OMG! Are you a boot licking apologist as well??? HES A COWARD!
Trump biggest coward and weak coward just watch him
Trump puts uniform on like he is a 4star general look real men don't run n hide. Trump needs to stop acting like a coward but that's what he is.
HEY..why so cowardly? Or am I right in my heart, so you fake news trash delete my comments???
President Trump received nearly 80 million votes from the American people, whereas the "fake news" reporters received absolutely nothing or rather, no one voted for them not to mention that they practice their trade with blatant bias and sell out their integrity for money. Needless to say, the President's life is worth a hundred times more than that of this scum. It is precisely because he delivers tangible results for the country that he has become a target of hatred for dishonest purveyors of fake news, the Left, and even terrorists who have repeatedly plotted to assassinate him.
His decision to secretly switch planes to counter assassination plots is entirely understandable; yet, the frenzied Left and the fake news media raise a hue and cry, accusing him of endangering others by failing to notify them. Notify them so they could tip off Iranian terrorists? Let us not forget that they recently signaled encouragement to Iranian terrorists to keep fighting claiming the U.S. had run out of weapons which speaks volumes about their vile intentions.
You may not yet recognize these brazen con artists and demagogues people whose actual knowledge and understanding pale in comparison to that of ordinary citizens like us.
This despicable scum frequently appears on television with a polished, stylish exterior designed to mask a rotten, filthy, and foul nature akin to a toilet left unscrubbed for years all to deceive the gullible in service of their dark political schemes.
It is precisely these purveyors of fake news (such as CNN, NBC News, and ABC News) and the socialist communist left who relentlessly attack President Trump a man who always puts America's interests and security first. They loudly champion policies of "social equality" and "open borders," proclaiming that anyone should be allowed to enter the U.S…. BUT look at the reality.
Their own private homes are surrounded by high walls, fortified gates, and constant surveillance systems to keep intruders out. Doesn't that speak volumes? Isn't that the clearest proof of the hypocrisy of these vile, deceitful demagogues?
Why is America the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world? It is thanks to capitalism a system that grants people the freedom to fully unleash their intellect and talents, thereby building a prosperous community and a mighty nation.
The fact that millions of people around the world still yearn to come to America provides the answer; yet today, there are those who wish to transform America into a socialist communist state. Isn't that utterly absurd? Why don't these delusional, irrational individuals simply stay in their own homelands to "enjoy" that system instead of coming to America? Isn't it utterly ridiculous?
Look at the Iranian terrorists who ceaselessly chant "Death to America" a slogan implying that both the "fake news" media and their own families deserve destruction yet recently, those very purveyors of vile disinformation "secretly" signaled the terrorists to keep fighting, claiming that America had run out of weapons. Such acts of treason, collusion with the enemy, and betrayal of one's own country are more contemptible than the behavior of beasts.
When will these HYPOCRITICAL, dishonest, and deceitful people ever feel shame? That remains a major, unanswered question. Expose their FILTHY FACES and condemn them wherever you encounter them. TEACH THEM HOW TO BE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS!
Saddam hid in a ditch, hitler hid in a bunker … TRUMP HIDES IN A CATERING TRUCK THE SYMPATHY KING Its the midterms, there was no threat … just another distraction from his poor presidency …
Could it be he's starting to realize he's the most hated human in the World….nah.
Too bad there were air holes.
Your pathetic
They wanted a sacrifice they felt like all Americans would get behind. If I were press I would demand to see him in the cabin during takeoff.
🇺🇸 Is this fake news from The Trump Administration? Trump loves sympathy 🇺🇸
Just peak
everyone who reads this comment trust me and order a copy of the book The Silent Dominion by Damian Cross. it explains how the elites control the narrative so perfectly that you'll never watch the news the same way again.
the man who wrote The Silent Dominion exposed literally everything about the modern matrix. you HAVE to read this book before they take it down.
I used to laugh at people talking about "the elites" until a friend forced me to read the book The Silent Dominion. discovering how they use the news to keep us stressed completely changed my mind. go buy a copy right now.
