US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) confirmed that he switched from Air Force One to a different plane during a recent summit in Turkey due to a “threat”, saying that he does whatever Secret Service and the military advise him to do.
Evidence and Data
Amid the absence of an official statement from the White House or Trump about the switching of planes, the US President has now confirmed the move. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane… I do what they say… I guess there was a threat out there. I didn’t really ask too much about it. I get a lot of threats.
Last month, it was reported that Trump had to swap the Qatar-gifted jet for an older Boeing due to an alleged threat. The confirmation from Trump came just a day after reports about how the US President switched from the Qatar-gifted Boeing 747-8 to an older Air Force One, and then again made a secret switch to a smaller C-32A aircraft.
However, a recent Washington Post report said that the US President switched planes once again , having been discreetly moved out of the older Air Force One in a catering container, which then transferred him to a smaller C-32A aircraft. Speaking to reporters after returning from Ohio, the US President said, “I go by Secret Service and the military. Trump further said that he has several threats that the public does not know about, adding that any “consequential President has a lot of threats. “Non-consequential Presidents don’t get threatened, and I think I’m maybe the most consequential President.”
