Addressing a question about the ploy Tuesday, Trump said he followed the advice of the Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane, equal safety, but they wanted me to do it, so I do it. Trump had flown to Turkey on a new plane gifted by Qatar and meant to be used as Air Force One. After boarding the older aircraft, a moment caught on camera, Trump secretly got off via the catering vehicle and moved to a smaller Air Force C-32A. The Qatari-gifted plane, the older aircraft used as Air Force One and the C-32A then all departed separately for the UK.
