Donald Trump just rushed out of a press conference at the NATO summit and he got on board the old Air Force One, not his Qatari Air Force One that he's been flying around in. Apparently he did not like the questions he was being asked at the NATO summit about why he was not flying on the Qatari jet and now he's flying on the old Air Force One. Also, there are major red flags right now about why he's not flying on Qatari Air Force One. Is it broken down? Is it not working? Donald Trump, I think, is insinuating that it's because of potential assassination attempts and that he's on a kill list of Iran. Let me just show you what went down as Donald Trump rushed out of the NATO summit and abruptly ended the press conference.
Let's play this clip.
See you back. Thank you very much, everybody.
Here you can see Donald Trump boarding the old Air Force One, not the Qatari jet that he's been flying around in. Oh, by the way, earlier today he posted that, uh, the Qatari jet is going to remain stationed in Europe and he's going to allow our troops to look at it and he'll turn it into like, uh, an exhibit to honor our troops. You can walk into the Qatari Air Force One and that's why he's not flying it. That makes no sense. Here, here he is aboard going aboard the old Air Force One.
Play this clip.
So then a reporter asked him before he rushed out of this presser, so we want to address some speculation about why you are leaving, not in the new Air Force One. Is it because of security concerns? Does it have to do with Iran? Uh, does it have to do with being on kill list in Iran? Does it have to do with the fact that it's not functioning? Watch what Donald Trump says, and he tries to avoid the topic and be like, I have a 5% chance of getting killed as the president. And then a reporter's like, okay, why are you not flying in the Qatari jet that you brag about?
Let's play this clip.
Stephen Nelson from the New York Post. Um, I'd like you to address speculation that you're leaving Ankara not in the new Air Force One because of security concerns involving Iran. You've spoken today twice about them possibly assassinating you and possibly being successful. Did that concern have something to do with it?
Well, I speak about it a lot because the life of a president is very dangerous. It's 5.2%. You know what a race car driver is? 1/10 of 1%. A bull rider. That looks pretty dangerous to me. It's 1/10 of 1%. No, it's 5.2% is you don't make it. You should have told me. You're an excellent reporter. You should have told me that years ago. Maybe I wouldn't have run. It's a very dangerous profession. No, I'm number one on the kill list for Iran. They're lovely people. I'm number one. So I don't know. I can't tell you that. But I don't really care because I'm doing my job and I'm doing it, I hope, better than anybody's ever done it, because we have a country that's hot and really, really successful. But I mention it only because it's on the list. I mean, it came out. There was another list came out yesterday, and I'm I'm number one on— I like being number one on TikTok better, but I'm number one on the list for, for killing. Go ahead.
Hey, Sean McCreesh, New York Times. But why aren't you flying the new plane home?
Say what?
Why aren't you flying on the new Air Force One?
It's flying to Europe to one of the big bases, 2 or 3 of the big bases where we can show it to the people and we'll be going home by normal methods. But we have it going to Europe to a couple of bases, actually one in particular, but it's going to go to a couple of bases. Stop. So the soldiers can see it because it's truly magnificent. Yeah, please go ahead. You want to go? Okay, go ahead.
Mr. President.
Then Donald Trump says that, you know, Iran is working with the best people we have in the United States. We've got Whitkopf, we've got Kushner, we've got Rubio, we got J.D. Vance. These are great people. No, they're not. These are like the lowest character, most putrid scumbags imaginable. And then Donald Trump's like, but they, the Iranians, are cuckoo. They're cuckoo and they're scum and they're crazy.
Here, play this clip.
I like that, you know, they're dealing with very fine people. They're dealing with Steve Whitkopf. They're dealing with Jared Kushner and JD Vance, and they're dealing with Marco and Scott. They're dealing with great people. But I don't know. I think they're a little loco. They're a little crazy. But they told us they'd like to go to the funeral. The funeral of a very— a person who killed a lot of people. Khomeini killed a lot of people over the years and there for a long time. Don't forget what we did should have been done 47 years ago. It could have been done any time within 40. This has gone on for— they were the bully of the Middle East.
Then Donald Trump continues to say that he's an assassination target by Iran. He goes, I'm their number one target because they're scum. Their leaders are gone, but they want to kill me because they're scum.
Here, play this clip.
And at some point, but all of it's gone. Everything's gone. Their leaders are gone. Their 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, and you know what? I may be gone, too, because I'm their number one target. It's out all over the place. I'm their number one because they're scum. That's the way they act. And that's the way they've done it for 47 years. But I'm doing what's right for the country. I'm doing really what's right for—
So a reporter asked him, okay, but last month you said you like them. You said they're very rational people, strong people, smart people. Now you're saying they're scum, sick people, they want to kill you. What are you talking about, Donald?
Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, Tyler Pager with the New York Times. Last month you said Iranian leaders were very rational people, nice people to deal with, strong people, smart people. Today you said they were scum, sick people, and being led by sick people. What changed in Do you think they're—
I got to know them. So I got to know about a lot. Now, when you say rational, I think they're much more rational than level 1, level 2. Level 1 is gone. Level 2 is gone. This is level 3. I think they are more rational, but based on their actions over the last week or two, they're not— they're not doing a service to the people. And I think more than anything else is I got to know them. And I'm not sure I want to make a deal with them. We can play games, but I'm not sure I want to make a deal. Let's just finish the job.
Then Donald Trump just starts to rant and rave like a lunatic about communism. Once you go communist, you can't go back.
Here, play this clip.
In many ways, and I've said it, and then I said, boy, that's a pretty big statement. Then I realized, you know, a couple of people said, I think you're probably right. I think this country with this thing that's going around is in more danger than it was during World War I, World War II. If you talk about September 11th, if you talk about Pearl Harbor, that was big danger. I think this is, I think the concept of us going communist, because one thing that happens when you go communist, you never come back, never comes back. You die in squalor. You die, you die a horrible death. You die in squalor. And it gets very evil and very nasty. Yeah, please go ahead.
Then Donald Trump said, uh, but before I go, I have an important announcement I want to make. He goes, I'm number one on TikTok, and all I do is talk about communism, and I'm on TikTok as number one. Does anybody know that?
Here, play this clip.
Well, because they say the deal was incredible, but they think the word that gets out is bad, except the numbers just came out and I'm number one on TikTok, and all I do is talk about communism, right? So it's sort of good. I used it to get elected, too. But, you know, you have to get your word out. But it just— the numbers came out just a little while ago, and I was number 1. Some ridiculous number. I never heard of numbers like that. But number 1. And all these entertainers, they're number 27, 29. It's crazy. I don't even understand myself.
But that means that my word's getting out about You know, it's funny what I decide to get picky about. The last time I got coffee, it took me about 5 reviews before I landed on my spot.

Then Donald Trump goes on to say, um, when I step in the room with all of the other NATO leaders, They look at me and they say, we love you. We love you, sir. You're someone we love. Okay, that's not true.
But play this clip.
And we got up to 5 the last time. And they're, you know, just again, if you could have seen the respect and the love in the room. And it's love really for the country, for our country. I don't want to say me because you'll say, oh, he's so conceited. He's such a conceited person. But they do. I mean, you know, they They like the job I'm doing. They said, we love— sir, we love you. These are grown people saying that. Isn't that nice? Maybe, I don't know, maybe they're trying to get to me. And in a way they did, because there was tremendous unity in that room.
Then Trump says, I would be the greatest communist in history. And he says Lenin. Lenin. I would be a greater communist than Lenin because I would just tell you, you get a free house and you get a free house and you get a free house. You want to go back to your campaign in 2024 and what you promised people? You told people you were going to cut their electricity by 50%. You told them that they would all get affordable housing. You said everybody would get the best healthcare imaginable, and the plan was right around the corner. You promised everybody everything, Donald. Lenin, Lenin.
Here, play this clip.
In the country, communism's easy to sell. I would be the greatest communist in history. I'd be right up there with Lenin. I'd be— I'd be as good as anybody. You've got free rent for the rest of your life. What they don't say is that you'll be living in squalor in 12 months. You've got the free house. Would anybody like to have a free house? We'll take it away from somebody. We'll give it to you. You'll have murders all over the place. Communism's a—
A reporter says, look, it seems like the war is about to start again. It seems like we're in a major war again. All of a sudden, while you were in NATO with your temper tantrums, that now We're in a catastrophic war. And Donald Trump's like, I don't know, why would it start again? I'm gonna end it very quickly. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder. That's your view. I mean, Donald Trump is acting like the US won this war. It was a catastrophic war we shouldn't have been involved in. Iran won the war. The US, Donald Trump begged for the ceasefire after threatening back in April to destroy the entire civilization and blow up all of the bridges. Then we were in this bizarre holding pattern of a fake ceasefire that Donald Trump Donald Trump unilaterally made with himself. Then Donald Trump sent his delegation to Islamabad and then Switzerland, and then Donald Trump breached the agreement to try to achieve through an MOU, through fraud, that which he couldn't in the war.
But play this clip.
Media, Turkey. Mr. President, it seems that the war with Iran may start again. What do you expect from your European allies? No, I don't think it's going to start again. I think it's going to go very quickly. They hit a couple of ships. And so we hit them much harder. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder. You know, we hit much harder than they do. We have a lot better equipment than they do. We may even— somebody asked before, do you think you'll hit them tonight? I said, we might. Yeah, we might. But when they hit, we hit. You know, it's what they're— we use their language. We speak their language. No, I don't think so. I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly. And we'll only make it safer, including for oil. Oil is going to be very free, very easy, and it's going to happen very fast. We have the Hormuz Strait. The boats have pulled out. I mean, there's a gusher of oil right now. We have a lot of oil. And no, anything that happens is going to happen very fast. We're not looking for— Long term.
A reporter says oil markets are up today by about 7%, over $80 a barrel. Those are going to be near $100 soon. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, if it goes up for a little bit, it's fine. This is what the American people want. This is what they want us— no one wants this. Nobody wants this. What are you doing here?
Play this clip.
Thank you, Mr. President. Steve Sedgwick from CNBC. Uh, the oil markets are up today around about 7%. WTI and Brent as well. The world is taking you at your word, sir, that the MOU is over, that the ceasefire is over. What happens next, sir? Are we on the cusp of a full-scale return to full conflict?
I'll tell you what happens next. Uh, we're never going to see Iran have a nuclear weapon because that's much more important than the numbers you're talking about. The prices of oil are dropping like a rock now. They'll be up a little bit, and this will end very quickly. We have a tremendous— we have an oil glut right now because we got all those boats out of the straight and, uh, it's gonna drop. And I've predicted everything. I've been right about everything. And I have been for—
then Donald Trump's like, um, look, all of Iran's anti-aircraft things are gone. That doesn't mean they're gonna get a plane at some point, but all of it's gonna— they may hit a plane here or there, but all of their stuff is gone. It's not even true. They're gonna shut down the Strait of Hormuz any minute now. Okay. Then they're gonna shut down the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Thereafter. And then oil prices are going to hit $200 a barrel while your strategic reserves are being depleted here. You are bankrupting this country, you idiot.
Here, play this clip.
Should have been done 47 years ago. It could have been done any time within 40. This has gone on for— they were the bully of the Middle East, so they're a much different country now. In one day, all of their anti-aircraft things are gone. That doesn't mean they're not going to get a plane at some point. But all of it's gone. Everything's gone. Their leaders are gone. 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?
Then Donald Trump says that— this is a reporter says, this war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. No, this was the greatest success ever. This is what we wanted. The American people love this. No, you lost the war. You and Netanyahu shouldn't have been in this war in the first place. First place. You've made every— you've made generations of Americans look like fools. Not even just currently, generations.
Play this clip.
The Iran War seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you apparently unable to end the Iran War?
So I think we're doing just the opposite. The Iran War has been a tremendous military success. And, you know, I can only answer the question by saying they're not going to have a nuclear weapon I think it's been— I was there for one reason, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I call it we denuclearize Iran, and that's happened. They will never have a nuclear weapon. That stuff is—
Then Donald Trump's like, but I want everybody to know I've been right about everything. That's what he says in NATO. Like, I won the election 3 times. I've been your president 3 times. I mean, what a sicko thing to be saying on the international stage. I mean, truly, what a humiliation ritual. For a once proud United States of America. And if you support this, you are absolutely pathetic.
You're playing this clip in oil glut right now because we got all those boats out of the strait and it's going to drop. And I've predicted everything. I've been right about everything. And I have been for a long time. That's how I got to be president 3 times. So I won 3 elections. I did very well in the second one, won it. It was a rigged election, but I've been right.
And then Donald Trump says, and I want to conclude before running off, that communism has been a disaster for a thousand years, thousands of years.
Here, play.
Free house, we'll take it away from somebody, we'll give it to you. You'll have murders all over the place. Communism's a disaster. It's been proven to be for thousands of years under different names, but same thing. It's, um, very important.
There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. Let me know in the comments why you think that Donald Trump is not going on Qatari Air Force One right now and why he's on old Air Force One? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
