Trump Had to Change Planes in Turkey to Avoid a "Credible Iranian Assassination Threat."
Jake Tapper Makes the Story All About, Get This, Jake Tapper.

The media keeps digging into the Secret Service's story about what happened in Turkey.

It's almost as if they want the Secret Service's methods revealed so that foreign assassins will be better able to kill the president.

President Trump's secret plane switch in Turkey is putting Air Force One's security protocols and defensive capabilities in the spotlight.

Why it matters: Air Force One is the call sign for any Air Force aircraft carrying the president, meaning Trump's secret switch didn't change the designation -- but it changed the plane protecting him.

Driving the news: A threat from Iran forced Trump to secretly switch planes, using a catering truck to move to a smaller aircraft, per the Washington Post.

Trump flew to Turkey on a plane gifted by Qatar, which was meant to serve as Air Force One. Officials said he would return on an older presidential plane because of security concerns, per multiple reports,
After boarding the older plane, Trump moved to a smaller Air Force C-32A, according to the reports. All three planes flew to the U.K., where Trump joined the Qatari plane and flew home.

Good, so now Iranian assassins know that the Secret Service uses attending vehicles, like catering trucks or supply trucks, to secret move principles.

Well done, Washington Post. You're great patriots for Iran.

There was yet another plan to murder Trump, launched by a foreign enemy terrorist regime.

Jake Tapper decides: This is really a story about how brave the press is, and how Trump's Secret Service is trying to kill them.

When there's an active shooter, Jake, USSS removes POTUS and leaves everybody else. You know that, of course, but heaven forbid you skip an opportunity to sell whatever remains of your credibility for just one more opportunity to preen.

I can't believe that when we were at the first WCHA Dinner, that when the shots rang out the Secret Service covered the President instead of you or me.

Jeepers!
