President Trump was transported out of Air Force One via a catering truck and onto a military plane amid an Iranian threat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the only cabinet official with Trump, according to a U.S. official granted anonymity to share details of the clandestine mission. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker, retired U.S. Army Lt. General Mark Hertling and former Chief of Staff for VP Pence Marc Short join Katy Tur to discuss.
Hey good point actually, at least the sacrificial plane was a real “Air Force One” in its capabilities and defenses. Unlike the gold tchotchke plane. And I like thinking how uncomfortable the military plane probably was. The fact no attack happened suggests someone knew he wasn’t on the sacrificial plane. Hegseth probably texted a friend about it. Loser Bone Spurs showing his true cowardice.
If you are the Iranian military, would you want your enemy to be led by Mr Trump or someone else?
Maybe someone else wouldn’t bomb elementary schools. Sure it’s a maybe, but maybe that’s a worthy dice roll.
Have you seen the republicans, the would bomb and rape elementary schools
Haha, you thinking maybe there was no threat and someone just made a bet they could get him to cower in a lunch carrier?
I saw a take that was just “he has no attention span, the only way to get him to care is to make it feel engaging and exciting”
And thus the idea of the attack was crafted to get him re-invested in the war. To make him see it as important and not just an annoying thing he wants to go away. And… given that kegseth went with him… yah… feels like a stunt.
