The Flawed Logic of Trump’s Airplane Escape The recent revelation that President Donald Trump was spirited away from a Turkish airport in a food supply crate, accompanied by three of his loyal aides, has raised more questions about the administration's decision making process than it has provided answers.
The elaborate ruse involved sending a decoy plane into harm's way while Trump and his entourage made their escape on a separate aircraft.
The fact that this escapade was deemed necessary suggests there may have been a genuine threat to the president's safety, but it is equally plausible that the administration prioritized maintaining secrecy and avoiding potential embarrassment.
