So, President Trump was secretly moved to another plane in Ankara as there was a potential threat to Airforce-1 from Iran..
What about the others on Airforce-1? Presumably they were considered to be expendable.
If it had been shot down Trump would have been as guilty as the perpetrators for setting them up as a target.

And according to the BBC he is threatening to bomb US ally Oman if it "gets in the way" over his Iran deal.

Surely grounds for the men in white coats to be sent in?

Actually was there really a security issue? It’s exactly the sort of publicity stunt the WH would pull isn’t it?

Just as much a publicity stunt as the "assassination" attempts.

Everybody but everybody is a potential sacrifice in the world of liar, coward and Vietnam draft-dodger Trump.

Yes I agree but he’s such a narcissist only his life matters and he would have wriggled out of any blame like he has wriggled out of everything else.
I just can’t understand how he hasn’t been impeached with all the chaos he has caused around the world, after all Clinton was for a lot less in my opinion

Surely the American people wouldn’t vote for him again, I’m sure it must only be redneck racists that support him, they must be able to see he’s a Mentally ill narcissistic ,racist, misogynistic warmonger

His approval rating is 33%. He was elected by 1/3 of the registered electorate. True MAGA are getting more MAGA actually, based on the various Primary results the last few months.

It's the other 2/3 of us he needs to worry about. And he is, or else he wouldn't be sending his armed goons to polling places.

Sadly though, I less the Dems get a Super Majority a la Regan, he won't be impeached. We need to get enough that Congress can clip his wings and they take their Constitutional powers back.

Something on instagram tonight pointed out that if Harris had been elected and done a fraction of the things Trump has done the country would be up in arms about it. Has anyone ever normalised abnormal things in the way that Trump has?
