> Donald Trump took a secret military flight out of Turkey last month, according to a Washington Post report. The operation reportedly involved moving him between aircraft inside a catering truck. The unusual deception was prompted by what was described as an Iranian assassination threat. The arrangement was intended to conceal the president’s movements during the flight operation.
