What dumb thing happened now? I feel like I’m watching reality tv, but it’s politics

"On this occasion, the journalists who thought they were traveling with Trump on the older Air Force One reported being advised to keep their window shades in the press cabin closed. The Post said some White House staff also believed the president was on board.

When asked later by reporters why they had to keep their shades shut during the flight, Trump said it was because they were “probably on ​a dangerous flight”. He went onto say: “But if I go, you go. Right?”

The C-32A carrying Trump flew to Britain, arriving at about 10.20pm local time with the older Air Force One and media arriving minutes later, the Post reported."

He left press and staff on the then decoy plane, likely convinced they would be attacked and killed.

Granted trump isn't exactly our favorite person in the world but I think that blowing up the plane is a little unsuttle, and may cause some international comment. So I don't think the chances of the plane being attacked were very likely.

Iran knows that blowing up Trump might lead to someone competent in charge.

You'd have to check out a pretty significant chunk of the upper leadership before you got to someone competent.

Lol, this is amazing.

It had to have been air tight otherwise the assassins would have smelled him.

How do you know he didn’t?

Maybe there’s a dead assassin somewhere.

That miasma has to be against like seven different conventions on chemical warfare

Really? That has enough weight capacity?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Apparently so.

(Other sources are saying catering truck instead of container, so [shrug])
