Trump Secretly EVACUATED On Secret Military Jet After Assassination Plot to BLOW-UP Air Force One… While leaving Turkey last month, it was reported that the President switched planes for security reasons. We're now finding out that the one we all saw him board was actually a DECOY with journalists on it. They snuck Trump onto a secret THIRD plane using an airport catering truck. This story is insane. Keep President Trump safe!

As The Post first reported this week, after concerns arose about whether the new 747-8 plane gifted by Qatar had sufficient security measures to transport the president out of a potentially hostile environment, Trump boarded a legacy Air Force One in Ankara on July 8. But he secretly left that aircraft and was shuttled in an airport catering truck to a third plane, an Air Force C-32A, that flew him and a few key aides to Britain. National security reporter Dan Lamothe (Dan Lamothe) walks us through how he and the team uncovered what happened and why it is significant. Read the full story:

Bill Maher says he "doesn't blame" Trump for sneaking off Air Force One in a catering truck while Marco Rubio and the press stayed on the decoy plane. Then Andrew Cuomo jumps in and admits every other president would have done the exact same thing. MAHER: “President Trump foiled the assassins again this week. He jumped on the plane that wasn’t the plane, but he left everybody else on the other plane. If the Iranians were going to shoot down that plane, goodbye, Marco Rubio and a lot of other people. No, I’m not judging here. I’m sure that’s what the Secret Service told him to do." “My question is, because I’ve heard it is the president’s discretion whether he could do that or not. Do you think any other president would have done it differently? Like, say, Jimmy Carter. He was like Mr. Christian Guy. Would he have left his friends on that other plane? What about Obama? What about Reagan?” ANDERSON: “Donald Trump has had a number of credible threats on his life, traced back to the Iranian government. He got his ear shot. So I kind of think if you’re Donald Trump, you do what the Secret Service tells you.” MAHER: “Yeah, I would." CUOMO: "I think they all would.” MAHER: “You think they all would?” CUOMO: “Yeah, I think they would do what the Secret Service said to do. Yes, it’s his decision, but you rarely go against what the Secret Service is advising.” On the decoy plane were Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, White House staffers, and the traveling press, some of whom had no idea the president was gone and were told to keep their window shades closed. Meanwhile, Trump was smuggled off Air Force One inside a catering truck to a smaller military jet, with Pete Hegseth flying at his side. The White House said he was aboard Air Force One the whole time.

Video shows the airport catering truck used in a secret operation to move President Trump from Air Force One to another U.S. government plane amid a credible Iranian threat last month. The truck can be seen pulling away from Air Force One after the president had boarded the plane, before driving to a second plane that ultimately carried the president out of Ankara, Turkey after the NATO summit.

Former Biden White House official Yemisi Egbewole Egebwole on The Washington Post bombshell about President Trump boarding a secret plane to leave NATO.... "I will say, as somebody who is a staffer that traveled with Biden on Air Force One, I'm okay with the security protocols because Secret Service would not do something like this unless it was very, very credible. But what was going to be the plan with the real-life staffers and the media that were on the plane as a decoy? That, to me, feels like another piece of this that's a bit left out. But look, Republican president, Democratic president, it doesn't matter, I don't want to see our president killed by a foreign nation."

THIS IS NUTS. So that threat on Trump’s life must’ve been very real, if not imminent. Trump was secretly transported in a catering truck to a waiting plane in Turkey, while everyone, including some White House staff, thought he was safely aboard Air Force One. A catering truck. A secret plane. What the hell is going on?

The new Air Force One isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a statement. Clean, powerful, built like it belongs at the top of the sky, not following anyone else’s lead. After Trump’s era set the standard for projecting strength, every president who steps on board gets the benefit of a machine built to match that level of presence. It’s not just transportation anymore — it’s legacy in the air. “Air Force One” is just the call sign used for any U.S. Air Force plane carrying the sitting President. When a new president takes office, they automatically use the same presidential aircraft system. So if a new plane (or upgraded Air Force One) is built or delivered, it will be used by whoever is the next president at that time — it belongs to the office, not the individual. In short: yes, it continues for the next president automatically. But ofcourse the media is silent like democrats…

President Trump took his first flight on the new Air Force One plane, a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted to the U.S. by the Qatari government last year. The plane, which is worth an estimated $400 million, underwent several renovations for the safety and security of the president. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said the Air Force spent less than 400 million taxpayer dollars on the upgrades. CBS News' Lindsey Reiser has more on the maiden voyage.
