Apparently Trump used a Catering Truck to covertly move between Air Force One and a smaller private plane while in Turkey for a NATO summit, and remained missing for several hours before meeting back up with Air Force One in London.

He was probably meeting with his Russian handlers about the NATO meeting.

I say Trump's hiding like a dog in Carry on case

It was the best catering truck! The biggest and fastest catering truck ever. With a big beautiful muscular man driving so hot! 🫲🍊🫱

No other president got to hide in the catering truck, it's true, i studied it.

And he said to me, "Sir--" they always call me sir because I help them and they respect me -- "Sir, you are the best at everything," and its true; once I was in a room and everyone laughed at all my jokes. That's very rare: being able to run the most powerful nation -- well we used to be, and I'm making America great again. "...and sir," he was crying. Did I mention he was crying? That was the oranges of this story. He was so thankful for me.

They did this for two reasons: 1) It made them feel important, and part of a high-level caper. They were definitely thinking this will be an exciting part of the inevitable movie, especially when they dramatize it all up.

And 2) It was a propaganda stunt, made to look like his life is in serious danger from the Iranians (I wish), and his handlers are clever operatives who can conceive and pull off a dangerous stunt to protect the president, even though he wasn't in danger from the Iranians, and the stunt wasn't dangerous for the president. He's too fat and slow and stupid to survive anything dangerous.

The only people they fooled were the press pool, and even they knew something stupid was up, when they made them all close their windows AFTER the adventure was over, for some reason, which only alerted the press that something weird was going on. Otherwise, they never would have known. But it's no fun to fool people who never know they've been fooled. It's only fun when they know they've been had, and you can point and laugh in their faces.

And it worked. The news covered it, and even called it extraordinary, even though it was just a propaganda stunt, just more MAGA shenanigans.

was that container called air force one when it left the plane? what was it called? also if anyone knows or wants to have fun guessing the code name for all that, be my guest.

Make America Greasy Again, and pronounce it with a Z.

Even Zelenskyy isn't hiding away..

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Zelensky is also not Trump's role model, Putin is and Putin likes to hide as well and us afraid of everything, while playing tough guy.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Putin at least did serve 16 years in the kgb and has a law degree.

I don't like either of them, but at least you could make the argument for Putin if you were Russian I guess.

I'm not sure how Trump got voted in once, let alone twice. Everything Hillary said was true

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

There is a reason Trump is looking up to Putin.

This is the most scandalous and scathing thing that the man has ever done. Sending his plane off without him under the threat of it being shot down while he hides in a good locker.

He should never experience a single day from this day forward where this cowardly stunt isn't brought up to his face. It should be the first question in every press conference.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

It's cowardly, sure, but not even close to the most scandalous thing he's ever done. He's responsible for millions of deaths, and he's a verified traitor, rapist, and pedophile.

The plane was never in danger, there was never a specific Iranian threat to it, they made that all up, so they could have fun playing Mission Impossible: MAGA Shenanigans.

As a nation, we should be ashamed. But hey, this is the least of the things we should be ashamed of.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Ok I just got in bed and am seeing this now. I really shouldn't lay in bed looking this up but it's so tempting. Looking forward to hearing more about this in the morning
