Statement from the White House Press Secretary - Aug 11 2026

The White House strongly condemns recent fake news stories pertaining to President Trump's successful secret extraction from Turkey after July's NATO summit. These stories are fictitious inventions of socialist fake news organizations intent on bringing down our new Golden Age because they like Dumocrats and socialism.

On July 8th in Ankara, Turkey, intelligence officials learned of a possible Iranian plot to attack President Trump's Air Force One as it left Ankara International Airport in Turkey. Assassinating a national leader while they are traveling on an international mission for Peace is an outrageous act of criminality that only the United States of America is allowed to do, and we condemn that Iranian plot, if it exists, and vow to decapitate the Iranian regime that took over for the Iranian regime we already decapitated if we believe they might have thought about doing it.

Also, the plot would have undoubtably failed even if it did exist. The new Air Force One, gifted to President Trump by the great royal family of Qatar, was refurbished in record time and now has more defensive capabilities than any plane ever built. It is fully Invisible and no missiles can see it. In fact, before Air Force One was scheduled to depart, the president bravely announced to the crew and the press that he would instead fly home on one of the older, less invisible Air Force Ones so as to give his Iranian opponents "a fighting chance."

President Trump's display of courage has already been documented. The president bravely moved his entourage, including the traveling press pool, to the older and uglier Air Force One that he had only brought along for the other world leaders to laugh at. He ordered the press to keep their window shades lowered during the upcoming flight, because that helps keep the plane Invisible—although not as Invisible as the new plane, which is better. He then left his aides and the press and prepared for the flight.

The White House condemns and disputes recent Fake News stories suggesting that the president, in a fit of panic after realizing that Iranian leaders were possibly big jerkfaces willing to shoot missiles at another nation's top leader, then ran sobbing into an airport catering truck delivering food and Diet Cokes for the journey and refused to leave. He absolutely did not wedge himself behind a wheeled rack of pre-prepared taco bowls, wailing in fear like a terrified little child, or throw fistfuls of ketchup packets at Secret Service agents sent in to retrieve him. The president never throws food because it is wasteful.

There is no truth to the claims that, when top aide Stephen Miller entered the catering truck to calm the president down, which didn't happen because the president was already calm, the president bit Miller's hand before throwing ketchup packets at him. Everyone knows that Miller does not bleed human blood and that those who bite him are cursed to spend their remaining days in fevered hallucination. The president does not have a fever, which proves that any reported "bite" did not even break the warlock's skin.

The president absolutely did not hide inside the catering truck, trembling in terror, for a full fifteen minutes before Secret Service agents gave up on the extraction efforts and drove the truck to a Secure Location so that the president could quietly recuperate and scrounge for snacks. There is no evidence the president's team eventually managed to lure him onto another plane by telling him they had hidden a dollar bill somewhere inside and that if he found it he could keep it.

If the president DID enter the airport catering truck attached to the older, much less classy Air Force One, and if his security team DID then drive the truck off with the president hidden in the back like a dog terrified of a vacuum, and if the president DID then get flown out of Ankara in secret, like a Texas dog dodging a process server, only to meet up with the older, crappier Air Force One later, and sneak aboard like a dog crawling under a house to find and take bites out of whatever the hell died down there and has been stinking up the place for three days, and then gingerly make his way down the steps from the (crappier) Air Force One as if nothing had ever happened and nobody had never thrown ketchup packets at anyone, it was done Courageously and was part of a top secret military operation meant to bravely Secure the president while leaving his close aides, the White House press corps, his military pilots, the plane's service staff, and Make-a-Wish recipient Timothy Whitechild of Garden City, Kansas to act as unwitting Iranian missile bait.

If such a top secret military operation were to exist, it would be treason for the Fake News to reveal details of it. Reporting whether the president may or may not have Soiled Himself in terror, ruining an entire catering truck's worth of food, or whether he bit anyone on his staff or security detail aides and abets our enemies. And also it did not happen, and the president is not now obsessively posting dozens of AI-generated images of himself looking manly and musclebound to social media in an attempt to convince himself and the world that he did not hide in an airport food truck like a Sniveling Coward while leaving everyone else to die on his behalf.

None of it happened, and the Fake News is wrong for suggesting it might have, and Fake News outlets reporting such things can expect subpoenas and arrests unless they Shut Up and never talk about this again.
