Who leaked the Air Force One decoy story and why?
The Secret Service certainly would not leak this. So who leaked it? This is an easy answer.
Donald Trump leaks it.
Of course. He has a method here, and the method is now uh m more attention on me. The assassination theme has worked very well for Donald Trump. And um and I think that he wants he wants people to know he's he's um he's the target. I'm the main target. He is at at the lowest at the lowest point in his political career. So what this man needs is distraction, his a proxy plane. being being hidden in the food truck. All of this. People are gonna shoot him out of the sky. He's number one. This is great for Trump.
Michael. Happy anniversary.
It's um This is our twenty fifth anniversary as husband and wife.
It's our one year anniversary for Inside Trump's Head. We started having no idea what we were going to talk about. And in fact, our producer, Ryan, went back and listened to our first episode, which was forty five minutes of talking about one subject.
And he didn't like it.
He didn't like it. He was rude about it. He said, Oh, it was very much a pilot was his dismissive tone. But we figured out by the numbers, nine thousand minutes, seventy thousand comments. Thank you. Please keep them coming. Eighteen cardigans, thirty seven T shirts and twelve blazers. Later, we're still going for new people joining us. Just remind people what we're doing here.
How we got in into this. I've written four books about about about Donald Trump. Um in the first administration, I spent almost seven months inside the White House cr uh and that's another story for another time, how that happened. Um And um, but it's a we represent a particular point of view about how to talk about Donald Trump. And the effort is not to talk about him as most of the media does from the outside, looking at him as a fairly typical political creature and political phenomenon. We look at this from try to do this from the inside. That what goes on in this government is atypical in every way because it all comes out of of of one man's head, what he's thinking, what he's feeling, um, what he what he doesn't know, so he has to cover up by pretending that he he knows, and everyone around him is forced to is forced to.
You can't really even talk to him because he doesn't listen. I mean, this is a departure in every way from what we understand American politics and American democracy to be about. It is just one singular guy and This is not an this is not an argument to say that he's a would-be dictator or a would-be despot or any of these things. Actually, it's something else to say that he is wholly unique. He is not like anyone you or anyone you know has known. And um, and understanding what that is and what that does to the nature of government and nature of politics and um and the nature of the future of this country is what we're trying to get at and trying to get at from understanding What motivates this guy?
And I am the chief content officer of the Daily Beast, my backgrounds as a journalist, what we do at The Daily Beast is chronicle the crazy in the White House, which leads us perfectly To this insane story about Trump and doing a whole David Blaine, now you see me, now you don't. Which plane am I on? It's like those three cups, and you have to guess which one Donald Trump is under. And they're always moving them around. And you're like, I think it's that one. No, it's this one. And don't forget to like and subscribe. So much to discuss. Air Force One, the fact that this, in fact, you you knew about this and You knew that this was something that the president did. AOC's eggs.
No, which is it which is, you know, I I have to note this. Why don't people just read my books?
I know. Well, I'm gonna read part of your book out loud to remind people this happened during the campaign and Natalie Hart was involved. So stay tuned for that. Um Darlene Graham, it turns out, probably didn't vote for Donald Trump. Uh, she becomes more interesting as a candidate, more interesting by the day, 'cause we know that she gave money to people that wanted to leave open the option of abortion in North Carolina or possibly South Carolina.
