Picture this: Donald Trump arrives on a USAF plane in West Palm Beach

[MineralMan]

The plane's designation changed from AF1 to some generic call sign at 12:01 PM.

Donald Trump walks down the steps from the plane, only to meet a US Attorney and some FBI agents.

"Donald J. Trump: I have a warrant for your arrest. Please turn around and place your hands behind your back. Please listen as I read you your rights..."

Now, THAT would be a good ending for his flight, I think.

Note: This will not occur, but wouldn't it be a wonderful bit of video coverage?

[Gothmog]

1. That will be nice to watch

[AZ8theist]

65. NICE TO WATCH?????

I would PAY MONEY to see that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wendyb-NC]

2. Yes

[captain queeg]

3. Probably not, but he might have to call a cab

[MineralMan]

9. Or the nearest Uber car available.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Ah, but we can dream.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

20. Hey, at least we know the difference

Between wishful thinking and reality.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. A most fitting tribute.

Put him in zip ties.

[Wawannabe]

28. Bazinga!

Zip ties!

[MyOwnPeace]

31. Know where we can find some?

[Moostache]

78. Nope...get that gallows and noose from 6th January...

And put it on display at the bottom of the stairs,then film the coward as he literally shits his Depends on live TV...

[bluestarone]

6. Just the thought of that in my mind

Is worth it!!!

[Brother Buzz]

7. I would be happy if he was simply served papers

Visualize whole boatload of process servers standing at the bottom of the stairs to greet him, "Mr, Trump, you've been served".

[DENVERPOPS]

80. I whole heartedly expect

Desantis to be on the Tarmac, with 500 Florida right leaning national guard to protect Trump, and a crowd of thousands right leaning Floridians awaiting his arrival. AND, of course his mega taxpayer paid Secret Service Detail to take him to Mar A Whatever where a mega Secret Service Detail will protect him 24/7. Of course, Trump will Collect an Obscene amount of rent money for the SS rooms, just like he has been doing for four years. When the local gov't tries to enforce the NoResidence agreement, he will laugh at them and just ignore the law, just like he has done with every authority his entire life. Desantis may even help by encircling the compound with Gov't paid National Guard 24/7/365. Desantis will surely fight any and all extradition to DC or NY or anywhere for that matter.

It is going to be a whole new era of Trump and his Spawn grifting, and broadcasting Trump's continuous propaganda and bullshit across the nation, and inciting new rebellions against the U.S. Gov't, while taxpayers and the U.S. Gov't pay to protect him despite how horrific and despicable his constant rants are, and his attempts to bring down the very government he hides behind.

Does he get continued free government/military air transportation as well????????
And what about his Spawn? Do they get continued SS protection and a ton of benefits also??????
They have all suddenly bought places down in Florida also, so Desantis has probably told them he will take care of their every wish as a transplant resident of Florida.......

[Takket]

8. when they put him in the squad car they should be rough with him........

they should bang his head against the door frame. that's how to treat thugs.......

context in case anyone forgot:

[Cyrano]

10. And in addition to the cuffs, they'd put a mask on him

Hard to tell which of the two he'd hate worse.

[MineralMan]

11. Or a spit hood. I like that even better.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Question,

is not AF-1,grounded after Diaper Dons trip to Texas. Story was that was the final trip for this Aircraft. Someone who tracks Aircraft could verify the Tail Sign for landing in West Palm please.

Joe is to be the first to use the new replacement Aircraft as per the same story.

[MineralMan]

13. I have no idea.

It will lose the AF1 designation, though, at 12:01.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Okay,

did not Mr.Obama fly back to Chicago on a 757?

[DonaldsRump]

19. I think it becomes "SAM 27000" or "SAM 28000" immediately after 12 noon on January 20

Hold the plane at Andrews until 1201pm on January 20 so the DC Attorney General can serve Trump and Trump Jr. for the incitement charges he is hopefully planning on bringing.

Then have the plane head to Atlanta for a fuel stop, and the Fulton County, Georgia DA can serve him for his insane election interference calls with the GA SofS.

Then, Trump and family can head to exile at Mar-A-Lago.

[CaptainTruth]

32. More likely SAM28000 or SAM29000

Those are the tail numbers of the 2 747s.

Is the 757 27000?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

51. Yes on the VC-25 tail numbers.

I don't know about the 757.

It might well be the case that Trump does not get a VC-25 on the way out. He's used many others planes as AF1 when he has traveled to a small airport that cannot handle a VC-25.

A 757 will do just fine on January 20.

Here's a list of ADSB identifiers that might work:

Track Air Force One here {big hat tip to the other DUers who have helped me with this information}:

Start here and go to Joint Base Andrews:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

Click on the "U" in the upper right hand corner to clear the screen of all flights other than those of military aircraft.

The trip from the White House to JB Andrews is often accompanied by a Park Police helicopter. Today it's this one:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a1dffb

Quite often, Air Force One is this plane:

https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfdf8

or this plane:

https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfdf9

Sometimes he'll be on a 757 instead of a VC-25, aka 747-200

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae4ae6

It might be this 757 as well:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae4ae8

This is yet another 757:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfeb7

This 757 might be part of the pool:

[machoneman]

56. I read SAM and first though a Surface to Air Missile! Works for me if the crew can bail out first!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

49. @CivMilAir

[slater71]

15. Or maybe they could be there to pull all their passports.

[NotASurfer]

16. I have had the same daydream

This is something of a tangent...suppose some of the interpretations of how quantum physics works in which the universe itself is splitting into an infinite number of parallel-but-not-quite identical universes all the time, because everything that can possibly happen, does. There was an episode of Star Trek (STNG) with a plot line like that.

In that case, I may not be in one of the universes where that happens, but it will happen. And those of us in those universes will be celebrating to beat the band!

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the deal with Mar-a-Lago was that it could not be used...

as a personal residence.

So could WPB send the sheriff with eviction orders waiting for him?

[NotASurfer]

23. He signed an agreement that it was a club, not a residence

And received some kind of tax break for it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/trump-mar-a-lago-neighbors-dispute/2020/12/15/bc2ce1d0-3ed4-11eb-9453-fc36ba051781_story.html

From the article:

The current residency controversy tracks back to a deal Trump cut in 1993 when his finances were foundering and the cost of maintaining Mar-a-Lago was soaring into the multimillions each year. Under the agreement, club members are banned from spending more than 21 days a year in the club’s guest suites and cannot stay there for any longer than seven consecutive days. Before the arrangement was sealed, a Trump attorney assured the town council in a public meeting that his client would not live at Mar-a-Lago.

It's arguable that, if someone were to list it as their Florida residence when they registered to vote in the state, there is a clear cut case of vote fraud...

[Yonnie3]

44. If it is not his legal residence then the FL homstead law shouldn't apply

Creditors could seize that asset.

[Captain Zero]

54. And how did he vote from that address. Fraud.

Voter fraud.

[NellieStarbuck]

18. We can dream, can't we?

[rickford66]

21. There could be an in air problem.

Where AF1 has to circle and dump fuel for a couple hours. The crew can dump it slowly until 12:01 PM. Unfortunately the atomized fuel settles on Mar-a-whatever. All of this is pure speculation of course.

[AllaN01Bear]

22. sam 2000.

and be lovely to see him be lead off in handcuffs .

[SeattleVet]

24. ...and then make him wait in Baggage Claim for his luggage!

[Traildogbob]

25. His hands are

Uncuffable. Not sure those Terrorist’s zip cuffs get small enough for those extremely white tiny baby hands. Use a chain choker collar. An electrified one.

[trixie2]

53. You guys are killing me

[FailureToCommunicate]

77. One chain choker collar please: Extra large. (For his flabby, wattle turkey neck)

[Traildogbob]

79. Maybe a chastity belt

For the vagina neck.

[fierywoman]

26. Hold this thought! Hold this thought! ( meaning: keep thinking it.)

[Aristus]

27. My own vision would only happen if he attended the Inauguration.

"...and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, so help me God."

"Congratulations, President Biden!"

"Thank you, Mister Chief Justice."

"Mr. Trump, will you please turn around and place your hands on your head?..."

[LEW]

29. I have been fantasizing about just this type of senerio

For four years now! I realized this probably won't happen, but oh so good if it were to happen!👍

[11 Bravo]

30. If they're not on the ground before 12:01, I hope that President Biden ...

orders the plane not to land, and instead to head directly to Barrow, Alaska, at which point Lard Butt is evicted from government property and told to find his own way home.

[MyOwnPeace]

33. Nah!

at 12:01 the plane does a U-turn and takes him to JFK Airport where all of his New York friends will be waiting to greet him (with papers!).

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. I'm totally down with some righteous justice fantasizing.

[CaptainTruth]

35. They would have to use the tiny hands handcuffs...

[link:|]

[Ilsa]

42. Made me laugh! thanks. nt

[demtenjeep]

36. Love this

would be perfect

[slumcamper]

37. Even better--he receives ZERO media coverage and we are spared further sight of the monster.

[albacore]

38. I grow tumescent at the very thought of that happening. nt

[MineralMan]

39. TMI...

[PatrickforO]

40. At some point in the future we might see Trump take a nice perp-walk.

That will be a great day.

We have a ways to go yet, though.

[MineralMan]

43. One always has hope...

[BarbD]

41. Ahh, perchance to dream.

What a delicious fantasy.

[Lulu KC]

45. I have been having the same fantasy!

Also of AF1 saying it's going to FL but actually heading north to Albany where the AG is there with a crew.

[Jon King]

46. Counting the hours until they lose most of their perks...

Be nice knowing this is the last time we see AF1 or Marine 1 with the Trump family vermin on it. And all kids lose their Secret Service at 12:01 except Barron until he is 18.

Seeing all those Trump kids and grand kids stroll out of Marine 1 made my skin crawl.

[Old Terp]

47. At 12:01 doesn't his secret service team downsize?

He also loses the Beast and his motorcade as I recall. Maybe he has to carry his own bags. Another good thing is the Potomac should not be closed for any visits to his Virginia golf course. The Coast Guard is not patrolling the waterways around Mara Largo. Traffic (including airplanes) will no longer be restricted around wherever he's at. The world will be a much better place. Then when he and his family are carted off to jail, we can all raise a toast.

[msfiddlestix]

48. That's a fantasy I've been indulging for a while, and most certainly in the past week.

When I had read or heard about the 21 gun salute, red carpet military parade and band and all the regalia and fan fare for his send, felt like a gut punch. Things better change constitutionally regarding this shit.

[SheltieLover]

50. Absofuckingloutely!

[Sneederbunk]

52. We do not need yet another distraction on Inaguration Day.

[MineralMan]

62. LOL...

[MyMission]

55. It could happen

The visual imagery made me grin!
It could happen, should happen before he has a chance to flee!

[yuiyoshida]

57. WHY WOULDN'T IT HAPPEN TO HIM??

He is wanted by the Southern District of New York for Tax Evasion as well as SOME other RICO LAWS HE BROKE!! THEN PUT HIS ass on the NO FLY LIST.

[PCIntern]

58. My dream:

Trump to attendant on plane: That’s Miami down there. Why aren’t we landing?

Attendant:the pilot has been ordered to take a detour

Trump: A detour? To where?

Attendant: To the closest airstrip to Guantanamo from which you’ll be flown in a helicopter to your new, permanent residence.

[MineralMan]

63. Nice!

[Ferrets are Cool]

59. What a wonderful fantasy.

I would give up my $1400 for that.

[Blue Owl]

60. K&R

[MineralMan]

61. Thanks.

[misanthrope]

64. You missed the part where Trump demands his Secret Service detail protect him

Because that's the first thing he will do. He's had bodyguards for most of his life.

[LeftInTX]

85. Yes...All this occurring while Biden is getting inaugurated..Trump is still the star..no thanks

[JPbelgium]

66. In Flight, 12:00:01 ...

May I Have Your Attention please...


This Is Your Captain Speaking...


Sir...



YOU'RE FIRED !!!!!!

[NurseJackie]

67. Love it!

(Glad you're here. Hope you're well. Stay strong.)

[onenote]

68. Actually, I would not want that to happen.

I want the focus at 12:01 to be on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The last thing i want is for their inauguration to be drowned out by coverage of Trump.

[JT45242]

69. 8 pm that night...

Just think, he and his criminal family think they have gotten away with everything. Then at 8 pm, a swarm of agents hit the new york and Florida residences. All the kids houses simultaneously hit as well. and children's services take away barron (and his little cousins) while all the adults are being processed.

Don't care if it is feds, state of new york, state of georgia, or any other jurisdiction.

Just hoping freezing all assets is part of the indictment and bail.

[Marcuse]

70. Let his Secret Service guards serve the warrant, make the arrest and divert the plane to Gitmo.

[Lithos]

71. He will be off the plane before noon

It's about a 2 1/2 hour flight from DC to Palm Beach. Leaving at 8am means he lands around 10:30a. Make it 11a because of prep time. Taking Marine One is a short hop - about 15 minutes.

His plan is to be bunkered down in Mara-Lago by noon, when Biden assumes the office.

So, nice scenario - but Trump is trying to avoid that explicitly.

[MineralMan]

72. Well, the scenario never would have happened anyhow.

It was just a pleasant little fantasy.

[llashram]

73. I hope to

live long enough to see him perp-walked in shackles.

[FailureToCommunicate]

74. YES! Saturday Night Live: PLEASE make this your "cold open"

Heck, I'd even sign up for Disney Plus to watch that happen!

[sheilahi]

75. just hoping

Hope he takes that goddamned Kimberly Guilfoyle with him.

[marble falls]

76. It would be convenient, just load him back on.

[BobTheSubgenius]

81. Before I opened this thread, but after I'd read the title, I had a tiny part of me think it...

...was going to contain the words "fiery crash." But my better angels stepped forward and squelched any thought of innocents being harmed, or collateral damage.

My next thought was of Norm MacDonald

"Time to go to the rope store."

[Pluvious]

82. It would make an epic end to the movie

Then the credit roll could include the mug shots of all the convicted accessories and their sentences

[BootinUp]

83. You left out the dancing in the streets part. Nt

[True Blue American]

84. New plane, program on PBS

Jan. 18th.

https://people.com/politics/national-geographic-special-looks-at-the-new-air-force-one-design/

[brewens]

86. I bet Trump would put all the "Karen's" to shame! Imagine his SS guards just stepping back and

letting the FBI do their jobs. It wouldn't make the last four years worth it, but it would sure warm my heart!

[LeftInTX]

87. Sorry, I'm tired of Trump hogging our airwaves

A better punishment is allowing him sinking to oblivion....

Let him worry about the feds constantly looking over his shoulder
