truly WILD story. This appears to be the order of operations:
1. Trump flies to Turkey on the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for the NATO summit.
2. An Iranian assassination threat triggers a secret “deception operation.” Security officials devise a plan to conceal which aircraft Trump is actually traveling on.
3. The Qatari-gifted Air Force One leaves Turkey first, without Trump.
4. Trump publicly boards the legacy Air Force One in Ankara, walking up the stairs and waving for cameras, creating the appearance that this is his plane home.
5. Trump secretly exits Air Force One through the other side of the aircraft and gets into an airport catering truck raised to the plane’s door.
6. The catering truck drives Trump to a smaller Air Force C-32A, a modified Boeing 757 parked nearby.
7.. Trump secretly boards the C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also boards separately.
8. Reporters and some White House staff board the legacy Air Force One, apparently unaware Trump is no longer aboard. They are instructed to close their window shades. (Remember all that reporting from the time?)
9. The legacy Air Force One takes off as a decoy and eventually uses the “AF1” call sign despite Trump not being aboard.
10. Trump’s actual C-32A flies secretly to Britain under the nondescript call sign “Reach 18,” with its normal flight-tracking systems reportedly switched off.
11. Trump arrives at RAF Mildenhall in Britain on the C-32A, shortly before the decoy Air Force One arrives.
12. Trump somehow transfers back onto the legacy Air Force One after landing. The Post says exactly how this transfer occurred remains unclear.
13. Trump then emerges from the legacy Air Force One in front of cameras, making it appear as though that was the aircraft he had flown from Turkey.
14. Trump boards the Qatari-gifted Air Force One in Britain and finally flies back to Washington with the press and staff.
P.S. Remember when Trump told the reporters on the plane, "I go, you go," in regard to the plane being targeted? It actually seems Trump left and endangered the lives of everyone on board.

“72 Jabs”
According to the CDC in 2025, the recommended vaccines for children totaled 12, with only 1 requiring five doses (spread out over 4-6 years), and 3 requiring 4 doses. 5 are recommended at two months, and a second dose at four months, a third at 6 months, and of those five, two have a fourth dose recommended at 12-18 months.Trump sounds like a total freak talking about "beautiful, healthy, lovely, delicate little children" pic.twitter.com/lFlh8Nkp4S

So his order strikes one recommended vaccine? The RSV vaccine on the schedule is recommended only on the mother’s vaccine status or, after 6 months, the child’s health status. The COVID vaccine is listed, but not recommended below the age of six.

5 doses are recommended, at ages 12-15 months. So there is plenty of space to spare.

According to the New York Times, despite the ever-present media attention that his policy pronouncements and personal attacks on the site attract, traffic to the social media platform has collapsed at an alarming rate this summer.Yes, you’d certainly think. Then again, Nate Silver (remember him? The “winged with awe, inviolable”? “Aiee, aiee! Slow on the leash! Pallid the leash men!”) says that, as of August 7, Trump’s approval rating is -20.6. Yes, negative.
Monthly visitors to the platform declined approximately 36 percent compared to the previous year, according to Similarweb, an online traffic tracking firm, the Times reported, adding, "Monthly visitors to the site fell by a slightly greater amount in June, compared with last year."
By contrast, larger social media competitors including X and Threads posted higher visitor numbers during the same period.
...
Similarweb data shows the disparity starkly. For the first seven months of 2025, Truth Social averaged 28 million monthly visits. For the same period in 2026, the average dropped to 25 million visits.
Howard Polskin, publisher of the newsletter "theRighting," which monitors right-wing media, expressed surprise at the severity of the decline.
"I have been following traffic to Truth Social for years and I am really struck by the steepness of the plunge," Polskin told the Times. "When you think of how much Trump uses Truth Social as a megaphone you would think the numbers would be skyrocketing."
The traffic collapse arrives "at a critical time" for Trump Media. Last month, the company launched a controversial premium service offering Wall Street traders instantaneous access to Trump's posts—a product positioned to provide subscribers trading advantages. Trump Media charges companies up to $100,000 monthly for the early access, but only ten firms have signed up so far, according to the report.Imagine paying $1.2 million annually to get a 5 second advance on the world for a message like that. Or this:

"When the Son of Adam comes in his glory, accompanied by all his messengers, then he will occupy his glorious throne. Then all peoples will be assembled before him, and he will separate them into groups, much as a shepherd segregates sheep from goats. He'll place the sheep to his right and the goats to his left. Then the king will say to those at his right, 'Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, inherit the domain prepared for you from the foundations of the world. You may remember, I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a foreigner and you showed me hospitality; I was naked and you clothed me; I was ill and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to see me.' Then the virtuous will say to him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you or thirsty and gave you drink? When did we notice that you were a foreigner and extend hospitality to you? Or naked and clothe you? When did we find you ill or in prison and come to visit you?
And the king will respond to them, 'I swear to you, whatever you did for the most inconspicuous members of my family, you did for me as well.'
Next, he will say to those on his left, 'You, condemned to the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers, get away from me! You too may remember, I was hungry and you didn't give me amything to eat; I was thirsty and you refused me a drink; I was a foreigner and you failed to extend hospitality to me; naked and you didn't clothe me; ill and in prison and you didn't visit me.'
Then they will give him a similar reply: 'Lord, when did we notice that you were hungry or thirsty or a foreigner or naked or weak or in prison, and did not attempt to help you?'
He will then respond: 'I swear to you, whever you didn't do for the most inconspicuous members of my family, you didn't do for me.'
The second group will then head for everlasting punishment, but the virtuous for everlasting life.

… Signifying nothing…
“We are low-keying it,” Trump told Axios in what the outlet described as a “brief phone call” regarding the U.S. war against Iran. “We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money.”Just stop there, because the phrase is the thing. Trump used the phrase with Tucker Carlson, back in February. You remember February. The assault on Iran began on the last day of that month. Trump was reassuring Carlson that all would be well.
It was Trump’s next remark that bore a striking similarity to his past remarks made just before the war.
“It will work out. It always works out,” Trump said.
“He said to me, 'everything's gonna be okay' because I was getting overwrought [and told him] 'don't do this.' He said, 'it's gonna be alright,' and he said, 'do you know how I know that?' And I said, 'no.' He said, 'because it always is,’” Carlson told the Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro.

WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that?This is precisely my experience on Medicare. I pay a small monthly premium (smaller than I ever paid for private insurance), and a small annual deductible (again….). I use more healthcare at 70 than I did at 30, but that’s just an argument for covering everyone. More money in the pot, but fewer people relying heavily on it. That lowers the financial burden on everyone.
EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.

HASSETT: The bottom line is if you look at the overall economy, things are really booming
TAPPER: There have been job losses for a third of the months during Trump's second term. 2 million jobs were created in the last 18 months of Biden's presidency. Are you really arguing your numbers are better than that?

Trump Fact Checked on Gas Price Claim
— PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) August 8, 2026
Community note slams brakes on “golden era” fuel commenthttps://t.co/osRtuIsqVKhttps://t.co/osRtuIsqVK
President Donald Trump claimed from the Oval Office Thursday that gasoline was already selling for as little as $1.85 a gallon in Iowa, but a community note pointed out that the figure he cited was for E85, a niche ethanol blend available only to vehicles capable of using flex fuel. Iowa’s statewide average for regular gasoline was $3.79 a gallon as of August, according to the note, meaning Trump’s $1.85 figure does not reflect what most drivers are paying for regular gasoline.Because nobody sees what they pay at the gas pump. They only know what Trump tells them from the Oval Office. 🙄

I know everyone has a story like this, but my little sister had a beloved stuffed dinosaur (Doobie) that was lost on a family vacation in eastern Washington. My parents called the hotel, called every restaurant, and couldn't track Doobie down. I remember my mom actually crying she felt so badly for my sister. It was such a disaster that the whole neighborhood knew about it, and everyone was bereft at the loss of Doobie.Any parent of a small child can tell a similar story to this. I know I’m only reading headlines, but according to them, this reprehensible representative has kept the favorite doll of his daughter away from her on multiple occasions. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
A few months later, we pulled into our driveway... and there was Doobie, sitting on the fence.
My parents told my sister he had walked all the way back to Seattle from Lake Chelan. I learned 20 years later that our neighbors saw a new Doobie at Costco, bought him, and made him look a little beat up to give the story credibility. But this is how normal people behave: When a child's most beloved stuffed animal is left, you move heaven and earth to get it back.

This is the most aggressive attack on Black political power since Jim Crow. You look at the last 12 months, you look at these Supreme Court cases, you look at this racist redistricting map in Texas — and I say racist because it is systematically diluting the voting power of Black and Brown Texans.
When you look at how the districts are now drawn, a white Texan has a lot more political power. Their vote matters more than the vote of our Black and brown neighbors. It’s why, a year ago yesterday, my colleagues and I in the Texas House took the extraordinary step of breaking quorum.
We left the state of Texas and we went up to Illinois in order to prevent them from getting quorum. They couldn’t take up these new maps because we were gone. They called the Texas Rangers on us to find us and and arrest us and bring us back to the Capitol.
