President Trump was transported out of Air Force One via a catering truck and onto a military plane amid an Iranian threat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the only cabinet official with Trump, according to a U.S. official granted anonymity to share details of the clandestine mission. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker, retired U.S. Army Lt. General Mark Hertling and former Chief of Staff for VP Pence Marc Short join Katy Tur to discuss.
Haha, you thinking maybe there was no threat and someone just made a bet they could get him to cower in a lunch carrier?
I saw a take that was just “he has no attention span, the only way to get him to care is to make it feel engaging and exciting”
And thus the idea of the attack was crafted to get him re-invested in the war. To make him see it as important and not just an annoying thing he wants to go away. And… given that kegseth went with him… yah… feels like a stunt.
