President Donald Trump switched his new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for his flight from the NATO summit to the United Kingdom over concerns that the gifted aircraft lacks the secure communications systems and military defenses needed to safely manage a rapidly escalating conflict with Iran, according to two former national security officials familiar with the matter.
Instead, Trump flew from Ankara to a U.S. base in the United Kingdom in his original Air Force One. It was during that flight that Trump authorized additional strikes against Iran, following through on a threat he had made earlier that day to end the on-again, off-again ceasefire.
bahaha… doesn’t trust it?
I assume the Secret Service and natsec guys realized it had some shocking security weaknesses and demanded Trump give back BIG BOY JET for the time being.
It surely wasn’t ready to fly. I read an article that said it would take years before it would be up to the Air Force One specs needed. Also - the article said it would need to be taken apart to be certain the Qataris didn’t put any spy tech in there. Yet - Trump demanded his BIG BOY JET as fast as possible and they gave it to him.
Wonder if this is related to that 35 second vaguepost he did earlier this week of just footage of his plane in a hangar?
