"On this occasion, the journalists who thought they were traveling with Trump on the older Air Force One reported being advised to keep their window shades in the press cabin closed. The Post said some White House staff also believed the president was on board.

When asked later by reporters why they had to keep their shades shut during the flight, Trump said it was because they were “probably on ​a dangerous flight”. He went onto say: “But if I go, you go. Right?”

The C-32A carrying Trump flew to Britain, arriving at about 10.20pm local time with the older Air Force One and media arriving minutes later, the Post reported."

      That’s hilarious and would make my day.

      Imagine staff just telling him to go wait in the bathroom or sit in his car during meetings because of a “threat” just so they don’t have to smell him.

      More likely he genuinely thought they would die in an attack meant for him, and he just couldn’t resist looking them in the eye and saying it indirectly, because he’s a petty coward.

      If he was an average serial killer, he’d be the one that always visits his own crime scenes due to his overpowering narcissism.
