The Secret Service advised President Trump not to leave the NATO Summit in Turkey on the newer Qatari-gifted Air Force One, according to a Wednesday report.

Don't forget: Trump's Qatari jet cost the American people HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars to retrofit for security, as far as we know. The Air Force hasn't actually released the final price tag. What a corrupt waste of our money.

President Donald Trump will fly his aging Air Force One out of Turkey, ditching the Qatari-gifted jet he calls "the world's most luxurious plane," due to security equipment concerns.

In Tehran they continue measuring their mark.

the Qatari plane "was sent earlier to RAF Mildenhall, so we could show the wonderful Servicemembers, as per the entire Base's request.

LOL. He gave up his favourite new toy so some suckers and losers could look at it. Sure.

Dummkopf Trumpf whined to reporters the shift in travel plans was not due to a security concern.

But then: "They had leaders, they're gone, and they had another set of leaders, they're gone. Now they have another set of leaders, they may be gone. Who knows? And you know what, I may be gone too, because I'm their No. 1 target," Trumpf sniveled.

The USSS did the right thing out of an abundance of caution, but inadvertently confessed to the world that the Qatari POTUS 747 jumbo jet is not up to USAF standard to protect the POTUS. The contractors made their money over the past ten months anyway. Yay, capitalism!

Overlooked in this equation is that Tehran would not want to embarrass, anger, or dishonor Ankara by attacking their guest. On many levels, Iran attacking AF1 in the vicinity of Turkish airspace would be an effront.

Long after Dummkopf Trumpf and the loathsome Benjamin Netanyahu -- a miscreant who wants perpetual war against Iran and Muslim states -- are gone -- Iran's 93m and Turkiye's 88m people still have to live with each other, staring at Israel's 7.7m people ethnically cleansing Muslims in Gaza, the West Bank, southern Syria, and Lebanon south of the Litani River.

Likely just for a gaudy faux gold interior and his personal exterior paint job.

I believe it's more likely that it's due to Air Force One having some sort of secure Urgent Care room where Trump can receive a fresh transfusion of sacrificial baby's blood in privacy and security. Air Qatar apparently doesn't have that.

having some sort of secure Urgent Care room

That's a good bet. Another thing not worth installing in a grift plane with a three year shelf life.
