Welcome to the Jim Acosta Morning Memo on this Tuesday morning after Trump dropped doozies in the Oval Office and a bombshell scoop is the talk of the town. Please place your tray tables in the upright position; it’s time for takeoff.

Coward Of The Country: The Washington Post dropped an incredible scoop about Trump’s trip home from Turkey last month, which was already wrapped in lies, threats and intimidation, and double-dealing intrigue.

Trump had already lied to the press about why they departed Turkey on an older Air Force One, telling them it was because Bribe Force One was sent ahead to be shown off for the troops when it was really due to an Iranian threat.

Now, it turns out Trump wasn’t on that plane either — he was smuggled off the plane in a catering truck:

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to the U.S. official and corroborating material reviewed by The Post. That made Air Force One a “decoy” with media and some White House staff aboard, the official said.

That means the threat was serious enough to prompt all this rigmarole to protect Trump — which also means he was using the press corps and some of his own staffers as bait, as decoys, as human shields.

The Kaitlan Collins Anger Translator: While many reporters reacted breathlessly about the “wild scoop,” Collins called Trump out for lying to their faces when they asked him about the switch after they were back on Bribe Force One.

There was a little flash of anger that our Kaitlan Anger Translator will interpret.

ANGER TRANSLATOR: So this useless MF was playing right in our faces after he hung us out to dry on a flying bullseye while he f**cked off to another plane in a food truck, then joked about getting killed right along with us when he was safe that whole time? Motherf**ker!

The Turn: There’s video of the clandestine Trump-In-A-Box being delivered to the other plane.

The Prestige: It turns out you can actually watch the end of this game of Three-Card Trumpy live as it happened. This is the plane that Trump was actually aboard, landing ahead of the bait plane.

That’s Awkward Given The Whole Jeffrey Epstein Thing:
