They thought air force one was going to be attacked, so they snuck trump off and he left staff and press aboard to make the dangerous decoy flight home without him.
"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."

"If I go you go".
Fucking idiot probably didn't realise he was on a different plane
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.
Shitty president provides more evidence as to just how big a shit he is.
I think this is just his staff fucking with him, they got tired of him ranting about windmills and called in a fake threat lmao
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.
You are operating under the illusion that they are competent themselves. His "staff" are 22 year old vaping interns from 8chan and the blonde sorority daughters of car salesmen who donated above a certain threshold in the form of fraudulent "trump mobile" bulk orders .
I feel like 22 yo vaping interns are exactly the kind of people who would make up a fake bomb threat to get out of work lol
