39. Trump is at the core a bully and a coward
Thu Jul 9, 2026, 02:55 PM
Yesterday

I think he overheard someone in passing mike drop how easy it would be to shoot down the plane. That all the security was known. Trump was then afraid to fly in it. I doubt he'll ever fly in it ever again. He will try to have it flown to Maralago when he finally gets out of our house... you know... like something to put on the back 40 bragging rights. But fly in it? I don't think hes got the guts after what hes done to the ME.
