Trump does NOT own Air Force One.

He does not even own the gift to the USA by the Qatari government.

The Boeing 747-8 jet was not supposed to be put into service until it was fully ready. But, ego and election driven Trump pulled a fast one and flew to a summit in Turkey. As a result he got into severe trouble with the Secret Service as the drama queen decided to lob missiles into Iran to show off his power over objections (suggestions for different approach) by allies. He wanted to make an impression by disabling a ship in the Persian Gulf operating under the flag of a long and trusted ally. 

Trump is just that much of a jerk (The company owning the ship needs to sue Trump and Hegseth. Their actions violated laws and treaties. Sanctions come long before hostile actions of any civilian or business).

The reporting of the dire outcome potentials had to be told to the people of the USA in case Vance began to move from the Vice President’s quarters to the White House. Just because Trump’s covert antics to obtain his maximized propaganda (and it was definitely propaganda) is supposed to rule supreme, the right of the people to know is guaranteed. 

The 747-8 belongs to the American people. The people are being required to foot the bill of $400 million for the lousy thing. The people are paying for Trump’s ego machine with tax dollars. You betcha the people have every right to know why their $400 million renovation could be for nothing as the jet was blown up by an enemy missile flying defenseless when it was still supposed to be in a hanger on USA soil. 

As a matter of fact that lousy jet had to be flown out of Turkey to the UK by OUR Air Force personnel putting the crews lives at risk. That Trumpian behavior is outrageous and dangerous. While the Secret Service is doing a magnificent job, Trump sure as hell isn’t!

There needs to be election monitoring.

Following the election of George W. Bush and the absolutely outrageous Florida Secretary of State antics, elections monitors from the United Nations became concerned. I am thinking with all the outrageous statements (and they are only statements) made in the past 24 hours by power players, we might need peacekeepers as well as election monitors. 

DHS has no right to threaten prosecution of State Attorney Generals. As a matter of fact now that the racketeering threats are public (as are also evident with the Constitutionally mandated US Postal Service) perhaps the State Attorney Generals can prosecute Trump. They should examine all his wrong doing and move forward. 

This country has a very explicit and strong First Amendment, however, Trump THREATENS the free press regularly as if we had none!
