Chilling new details of Trump’s brazen escape from Iranian assassins spark outrage

Donald Trump’s plot to evade an Iranian assassination attempt in Turkey by fleeing his newly built Air Force One aboard a catering cart has led critics to brand him a ‘coward.’

The President left a NATO summit last month by secretly departing his presidential jet and boarding a separate military aircraft, according to The Washington Post.

Trump had traveled to Turkey aboard a new 747-8 donated by Qatari officials, which the Trump administration has spent vast sums upgrading for security.

Trump was later filmed and photographed boarding the older-model Air Force One jumbo jet in Ankara. However, officials said he had secretly entered a food cart fitted into the belly of the plane amid threats from Iranian officials.

At the time, Iranians were still mourning the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, while officials had placed a bounty on Trump’s head in an act of revenge for the Supreme Leader.

The food cart was then loaded onto an airport catering truck and transported to a smaller Air Force C-32A plane.

The ruse fooled journalists and even some White House staffers who were aboard the ‘decoy’ Air Force One flight, which the Secret Service had deemed unsafe for the President to travel on. Officials did not brief the journalists aboard the plane about the threat posed by Iran or tell them that the aircraft had been deemed unsafe for Trump.

‘Trump is a coward… He endangered their lives to protect himself. It was his incompetence that lost the war to Iran and his corruption that got the Qatari jet in the first place,’ wrote X user Tom Joseph.

HuffPost White House reporter SV Date told fellow journalists and White House officials: ‘Trump was ready to let you die while he secretly made his escape.’

Meanwhile, Liberal critics such as Ron Filipkowski praised Joe Biden for ‘never hiding in a catering cart’ and Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor said the report made Trump look like a ‘scared little b***.’

In video that day from the tarmac, Trump could be seen waving to the cameras as he heads into the older plane, before a truck is seen maneuvering towards the steps of the new Air Force One. 

The video shows a man in a suit entering the catering truck’s cab. A container is then loaded into the bed of the vehicle and pulls away from the old Air Force One. When the container was lowered, a person in a suit stepped out of the truck’s cab. 

Moments later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was seen boarding the C-32A separately using regular stairs as part of an apparent attempt to make the flight appear typical.

Journalists who boarded the old Air Force One plane, believing Trump was aboard, were instructed to close their window shades.

Meanwhile, the C-32A flight Trump and Hegseth were on used the call sign ‘Reach 18’ or ‘RCH18,’ according to the Washington Post.

When pressed about Trump’s daring escape, White House official Steven Cheung did not address the controversy but instead said, ‘The new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff. 

‘As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats.’

Iranian officials have publicly called for the assassination of Trump, as well as top officials in his administration.

Over the past month, pro-regime demonstrators have flown banners depicting a blood-red ‘bullseye’ over Trump’s face.

Iranian media has also issued threats against First Lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump.
