The internet can’t stop mocking Trump for sneaking off Air Force One in a catering truck, and these 31 jokes and memes say everything that needs to be said about America’s fearless leader
By now, you’ll be aware that Donald Trump, when returning from the Nato summit in Türkiye last month, ditched Air Force One for fear of an assassination attempt. He was smuggled into a catering truck, then transferred to a safer plane – leaving staff and press on the threatened craft.
Breaking news: An Iranian assassination threat against President Trump prompted an operation in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, The Post has learned.

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then Trump successfully escaped an assassination threat by riding in a catering truck.

According to NYT, Trump was hidden in a catering cart and wheeled onto a military jet for a secret flight out of Turkey last month. We’re sorry, but we cannot get past the catering cart part. Imagine being Secret Service and hearing, “The eagle is in the chafing dish.”

Live your life in such a way that you don’t need to hide in a catering cart on your return flight home when traveling internationally.
