Looks like Trump is heading to Scotland the 19th.

[BoomerD]

Technically, the aircraft he'd board after noon EST on Jan. 20th cannot be AF1 because AF1 is only designated to an aircraft when the President is on board. Trump, after noon on the 20th, won't be pres., thereby won't board any aircraft designated AF1 unless with the current pres.

I understand the designation...but if he flies to Scotland about the aircraft currently designated as "Air Force 1," he shouldn't be allowed to reboard that same airplane, regardless of its designation. (unless he's returned to the USA in handcuffs as a matter of pure expediency)

Haha, man on the run? 😉

This was actually his plan (which he told to Scaramucci and Scaramucci recently confided to) the day after the election in 2016. As everyone knows, Trump had no intention and certainly no expectation to win in 2016. He admitted it was all a grift and that he literally did not give a shit. Matter-of-factly, he claimed that all he wanted was to just go to Scotland and play golf the next day, move on to the next Trump grift. That is who he is.

This is no different.

if i remember correctly when nixon resigned the designation AF1 changed mid-flight after ford was sworn in.

Coastal right? Jumping on a Russian sub.

Come on dude.......


We all know he can’t swim

Maybe go for UK citizenship to get protection from extradition?

worked for Assange, all the has to do is shit all over everything. We know he can do that.
Judge/magistrate or whatever they’re called will find Trump mentally incompetent

Quite true. Ford was sworn in at noon on Aug. 9, 1974. Nixon was about 2/3 of the way across the U.S. going to CA. When Ford was sworn in, the call sign was changed to SAM 26000.

As an aside....I watched Nixon take off in the Marine helicopter from the WH, which is also known as AF1 when pres. is aboard.

 

[cytg111]

Wait a minute ... all this AF1 speak made me have an accidental thought.

Does that mean that the FIRST lady is only the 1st lady when the sworn in president is ... inside of her? I've double checked, the math checks out.

Woah, hang on, we're not keeping Trump. We have an extradition treaty, you can have him right the fuck back.

He could claim he needs to address business matters concerning the course. Shouldn't we deepen the left greenside bunker on 17?

 

[sportage]

Frankly.... does anyone really care when Trump goes or where he goes? If Trump wants to go right now, to leave right now, I'll drive him! And, I'll even let Donald sit in the front seat. I have a pretty big trunk to hold Trump's stolen Whitehouse paraphernalia, I have SiriusXM radio with the factory Bose system. The windows are clean and the view sparkling clear. We can even do the McDonald's drive-thru and grab you a burger and a drink, Donald. So, come-on Donald, what cha say? I'm warming up the car right now. I would simply LOVE to take you, Donald J Trump, on the road trip to HELL. And I have the tire-tread to do it.

I propose a temporary 6 foot deep hole.

It thought it was called Marine 1. Did that designation change at some point? If so, I think the marine's (and navy) would be pretty annoyed.

What if his plane had to turn around mid-flight? That would be hilarious (assuming it had enough fuel to safely make the trip back)

They can stop in iceland to refuel.

 

[Leymenaide]

Could the 19th be the day he resigns and then Pence as president pardons him?

You are correct...my bad.

 

[Muse]

No, I think he could not be sworn in until the next day at noon. But they might do this on the 18th.

 

[kage69]

The UK does have an extradition treaty with the US, but a judge can say No, like what just happened with Assange. It's never a guarantee.

To be free completely free of extradition threats he'd have to flee to the UAE, Sa'udi Arabia, or Russia I believe. Others would be too far into "shit hole" classification for him to consider, probably.

Nonsense...at least one MSP welcomes Trump's visit...as long as he brings his tax and business records pertaining to his golf course...

Greenland. He likes Greenland. Maybe he can buy it as a private citizen and have his own little island nation. Cruz, Gaetz, Gomer, Hawley and the rest can join him.

He may not be able to under Scotland's COVID travel rules:

Serious, and dumb, question: how much golf can you play in Scotland in January?

It's remotely possible that I don't know as much about Scotland and its weather as I should American education and all, "world history" was like a semester and included everything from the Pyramids up through the 20th century (I'm old).

Scotland is honestly pretty mild, especially outside of the Highlands and Islands. It's marginally colder than England, but near me we don't even get snow very often. Compared to the likes of Minnesota or Wisconsin, our winters are nothing. You'll probably get rained on, but that's also true if you play golf in July.

North Atlantic Gyre, Gulf Stream, etc.

I grew up just above the latitude of the French Riviera.

Except I was in Minnesota.

Brrrrr.
