'You're on a dangerous flight': Trump shocks reporters on Air Force One with threat claim
Jul 9, 2026 - World 
President Donald Trump responded to a reporter's questions about Iranian threats against Air Force One by telling them they were at risk, too.While taking questions from a press gaggle on Air Force One on Wednesday, one reporter asked why the plane's blinds were closed and whether Trump was aware of any credible security threats from Iran."I have a threat all the time. I'm number one on their list — before you," Trump said. "But if I go, you go. So perhaps one day we want to change professions."Another reporter mentioned that they had to change planes and asked, "What were the security concerns that caused us to change planes?""We sent this one in so that the Air Force base here is on the same exact line," Trump said. "Did you see the picture with hundreds of people? You can't see it too well, but there are hundreds of people on there. So they came a little bit early, and we switched planes."Another reporter said, "They had us close our window blinds. That was unusual.""Well, yeah," Trump responded. "You're probably on a dangerous flight because of the sleaze bags we have to deal with."On CNN, anchor Erin Burnett explained that Trump, heading home from the NATO summit in Turkey, was switched from the jet gifted by Qatar to the old Air Force One, but "the switch doesn't make any sense."Former Sen. Barbara Boxer described Trump's "if I go, you go" remarks as "inappropriate," but said, "The biggest issue here is the plane" from Qatar because "the experts on security said, 'What are you doing? We have to have these planes made in America.'"
