Prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, Donald Trump departed on a secret military flight in an extraordinary ruse that involved hiding the president in an airport catering cart, according to reporting from the Washington Post and the New York Times.

    Is it bad that even though I’m an American and not exactly a full on Iranian supporter…but wouldn’t mind if they successfully assassinated Trump and Vance at all? It would at least be karma for starting this bullshit war in the first place

    Hahaha.

    I hope he loves in fear. He did all of that. He ruined the fucking nuclear treaty, he invaded when that went to shit, and now he’s losing a war.

    What a fucking goddamn dumbass. I hope he never rests well again.

    Meaning the staff and reporters on the other plane were being used as decoys without their knowledge or consent.

    That’s pretty fucked up.

      I bet that’s what all those civilians were saying when Americans killed 100+ people while kidnapping the president of Venezuela.

      Can you imagine the kind of shit that will be made public 5 or 10 years after he leaves the presidency?

        No matter how batshit insane whatever my imagination can conjure up is, I can guarantee it’ll be a lot worse.

            Stalin was both effective and relatively efficient. This dumbass is neither. More like whatever the knockoff of a Temu Stalin would be.

            And to clarify, yes, I’m saying that even Temu is too high quality to be carrying anything Trump branded.

          i miss not being surprised by much.

          we’ll probably find out he had a private mcdonalds installed at the white house that gets its “beef” from an unethical mortician.

          so like that’s about how extreme of the batshittery i’m expecting is.

      Depends. Hollywood will never have the spine to depict him honestly, but if American media continues its decline and loses its stranglehold on popular culture then the floodgates will open.

      Honestly, with the way things are going in this nation, we’re probably going to be too worried about a myriad of other things to give a shit about this rapist’s documentaries.

      This one would be done by someone semi-competent and explosives likely over an idiot reactionary with a gun.

        Yeah but if he survived, think of the ratings! He’ll do another pose, photos will take millions of photos and they’ll put him on the front page of the newspaper!

        Don’t live in fear Mr Trump!

        They have a scissor lift box truck that the food comes in and then they lift it up to the plane and wheel the carts off. They got JFK’s dead body on air force one the same way.

    "Look, people are asking me about aircraft catering carts. And I tell them, nobody knows catering carts better than me, okay? Nobody!

    ​These carts, they are INCREDIBLE. Absolutely top of the line.

    People come up to me, big flight attendants, strong people, with tears in their eyes, they say, ‘Sir, we put hundreds of sodas in there, the little cans, the snacks, everything, and it still moves so light. Nobody else could design a cart like this’."

    – Trump probably

      What’s… funny I guess, is that he doesn’t even really talk like that anymore, because he barely makes it through a sentence now

    “Ummm yeah, right. We hid him in the catering cart. He totally didn’t get stuck in there when he thought he saw loose McDonald’s fries on the floor of the cart.”
