Donald Trump could be planning Turnberry trip as Scots airport told to expect a high-flyer the day before Joe Biden’s inauguration

Prestwick airport has been told to expect the arrival of a US military Boeing 757 aircraft, that is occasionally used by Trump, on January 19 – the day before his Democratic rival takes charge at the White House.

Speculation surrounding Trump’s plans has been fuelled by the activity of US Army aircraft, which were based at Prestwick airport for a week and said to be carrying out 3D reconnaissance of the president’s Turnberry resort.

Sources at Prestwick said two US military surveillance aircraft were circling Turnberry in November, using the Ayrshire aviation hub as a base. US media has reported that Trump will break with tradition and snub the inauguration of President Joe Biden on January 20, instead announcing a re-election bid on Air Force One.

...

A source said: “The survey aircraft was based at Prestwick for about a week. It is usually a sign Trump is going to be somewhere for an extended period.”

1. Russia . .

Just saying.

[Escurumbele]

58. My thought as well...

Once they drop him there they don't have to bring him back, on January 20, 2021 he no longer has access to USA government planes. We, the tax payers, have not obligation to pay for anything else for him. I do understand that we will continue to pay for security as all past presidents have that, but once on jail we will only have to pay for his stay there.

Although I do think he will fly to the arms of Putin who will later try to negotiate him for sanctions...."I will send you the buffoon if you release some of the sanctions against Russia." I have to think that Putin, like the rest of the World, doesn't want him around.

[lagomorph777]

70. I don't think the Secret Service will be obligated to protect him in his dacha.

[DENVERPOPS]

77. You can bet your sweet ***

That Trump and his Spawn realized a while back, that should their party end in Washington DC, the only thing available to continue their grandiose lifestyle would be the sale of U.S. Intelligence. It would also be the only thing of value they have to keep them alive. Once they have sold the intelligence to Saudis, Russia, China, NKorea, etc TRUMP INC are all 100% expendable.
The Trump Clan are all up to their eyeballs in Debt, their businesses will produce little if any profits, so they have to do something to stay afloat. To be truthful, Putin has no reason to "purchase" the intel, he can bring Trump and his spawn to Russia, and extract the information the "old fashioned way"................

And also he could have Trump on Russian State owned TV and Radio, (like Limbaugh) spreading RW crap from inside Russia.

[apnu]

88. If true, Trump would be leaving his family to fend for itself.

Junior, Eric the paste eater, and Jarvanka would all be left holding the bag here in the states.

I'd like to think Trump isn't that vile, but then what he did about his dad and his fortune tells me Donnie Smallhands would absolutely throw his kids to the wolves to save his skin.

[SheltieLover]

2. Closer to mother russia

So long as we have an extradition treaty with Scotland.

[area51]

3. Refuel in Scotland then on to Mother Russia?

[Freethinker65]

4. Hope the entire family flees the US, never to return.

Take the money and run. The piece of $hit scumbag, head of the GOP, should be tied to every legislator that questions the inauguration of Biden.

[BlueWavePsych]

53. Yes, please BEGONE!

[James48]

5. He's gonna stop and get gas and a nights rest, billed to the US government,

Before traveling. On the next day to Russia. Putin has a nice Dacha in the countryside reserved for him. Right down the street from Edward Snowden, and on the same street as George Pappadopolus and Paul Manafort’s future homes.

[Lonestarblue]

28. Once Biden is sworn in, would the US military actually fly one of its jets to Russia?

Trump would no longer have the right to military transport, and Russia would no doubt enjoy confiscating one of our planes.

[Miguelito Loveless]

37. I would think not

provided Trump hasn't corrupted the pilots, or has plans to take the plane by force.

[machoneman]

42. No, they would not allow it unless the Russian government specifically invited the trip. I don't...

..think even Putin would allow it as it's a very clear violation of our norms if not laws. And yes, at 12 noon plus a few ticks on Inauguration Day he can't control any US military plane anymore.

[Hekate]

59. What are these "norms" of which you speak?

[getagrip_already]

48. Until noon on the 21st (20th?), he is still coc.....

And the pilots would have to go where he ordered the plane. But after, not so much. But there are lots of ways to get out of scotland.

Oligarch's have a private fleet of corporate jets with more than enough range to get him anywhere.

But hopefully somewhere in the doj is a hold and extradite request to scotland / interpol waiting for 12:01.

[cstanleytech]

50. Probably not however Trump could easily catch either a private plane or a Russian government owned

one and go on from there.

[Captain Zero]

60. Russia gets the Football too?

And an AF1 with all it's telemetry and communications?

[lagomorph777]

72. I think Aeroflot will pick him up from Turdberry.

[erronis]

30. George Blake's house in Moscow is available. Already wired!

Another spy returning to his motherland.

[slater71]

69. We should keep tabs on Trumps own 757.

If his aircraft is out of the country, at this time, then I would say yeah, Trump is going into exile somewhere. I think Biden can order that military aircraft that Trump has to return to the US the minute he is sworn in. So Trump would have to be on the ground and off the aircraft.

[MyOwnPeace]

6. Good!

Get OUT - and STAY out!!!!

[SergeStorms]

47. I hope...

they return the plane though. Trump probably thinks it's his for life. I really don't care where he goes. so long as he GOES!

[IADEMO2004]

7. Pilot should do a long slow u-turn over Atlantic and land in Albany NY Jan. 20 1pm EST.

17. Surprise, Donald!

[mdbl]

36. LOL

[DENVERPOPS]

80. Wasn't the next line

Me and my boys gonna go mid-evil on your ass????????

[IADEMO2004]

86. LOL made me look I'ma get medieval on your ass.

[DENVERPOPS]

89. AND

wasn't there some reference to using a pair of pliers/????????

Maybe not, maybe just my imagination.......

[gab13by13]

8. Meh, can't golf in Scotland or Russia.

[Texin]

10. I don't know. There's Yalta. And the weather's mild.

[SoCalNative]

32. Weather there

is not conducive to golfing right now

[elleng]

66. To put it 'mildly'!!!

https://www.bbc.com/weather/2639896

[IADEMO2004]

87. As the Scots say, "If there's nae wind, it's nae golf."

[Siwsan]

9. So, wait. Will he be using AF1 or another military jet. The article seems to say both

Saying they are expecting a US military Boeing 757 that is OCCASIONALLY used by trump" and also saying he will make a 're-election' bid ON AF1. That means he will be in a foreign country, no longer president, WITH President Biden's official aircraft. What can go wrong with that?

I guess I never paid attention to what kind of transportation departing presidents have used, other than Nixon and the helicopter. 'Army 1'. And he wasn't leaving the country.

[Randomthought]

12. Air Force 1

Is whatever airplane the president is on not a specific plane.

[Siwsan]

19. Ahh, thank you.

But then, depending on his flight timing, it might NOT be AF1 for the entire flight. It will morph into LOSER 1.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. af1 is a call sign only. when the pres isnt on board its called a sam flight

ie sam 2000. there was a incident were a pres long ago who had a plane and there was another plane with the same tail number caused confusion. the other poster is correct.

[RKP5637]

15. Maybe the ass thinks he can keep the plane. n/t

[Siwsan]

20. Just imagine the disinfecting that aircraft is going to need!

They should just seal it up in a huge hanger and blow in disinfectants by the truck load.

[RKP5637]

21. Yep!!! It's definitely going to take some really serious hazmat crew action. n/t

[Evolve Dammit]

38. sort of a "parting gift" like a game show? With a case of Turtle Wax, orange spray tan & Diet Coke?

[William Seger]

44. I'd bet he's taking a box of White House silverware, too

... and the towels.

[DENVERPOPS]

85. And

his supply of XXXXX-L DEPENDS, with the Presidential emblem printed on all of them.......

[NoRoadUntravelled]

11. Drop him and family off in Turnberry, send the aircraft home.

They can Uber to Russia using donations from the faithful hoards who believe they can overturn the election and kill Democracy on behalf of their king and savior.

[Texin]

13. I guess this is the beginning of his flight from legal authority.

He's going to have to travel farther than Scotland to escape extradition though.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Afraid of arrest warrants much?

[C_U_L8R]

18. How much US Treasury cash can you pack into a 757?

Trump has Jared googling for answers.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. pallets of shrink-wrapped bricks of cash. Like we dropped in Iraq. Ask Mnuchin, he'll do it. nt

[DENVERPOPS]

83. To say nothing of the large quantities

of thumb drives loaded with U.S. Intelligence to sell.

It is open knowledge Jared has already sold U.S. intelligence to the Saudi's in order to make the money he needed for a 150 Million Dollar Mortgage payment due on one of this failed real estate investments........Interestingly, a number of the Saudi's officials disappeared a few days later......

And then of course, there was the information the Saudi's needed to catch and saw up that US journalist........

[Hortensis]

22. A little soon to note that Prestwick is a refueling stopover for flights

to distant points, including Moscow.

But not speculative is that this is a really lousy time of year for golfing in Scotland.

If Trump were afraid of far more serious prosecution than just the financial stuff he's fought all his life, I could accept his ending up as a permanent confinee of that village where Putin puts criminals on the run from their home countries, unable to leave except for "shithole" countries that wouldn't extradite him. This is all definitely wishful thinking, though. Most likely, one way or another, free or incarcerated, we'll be suffering the schmuck's dimmed but always malignant presence until Alzheimer's finally gags him.

[Mike 03]

23. He won't exactly be escaping his legal woes by flying to Scotland:

Scottish Leader Says Trump Should Face ‘Accountability’ In Turnberry Probe

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she won’t protect “the soon-to-be former president of the United States” if wrongdoing is found.

[DENVERPOPS]

84. Perfect Idea

If Trump, his arm-candy Christmas hating Twat and spawn should land there, they should arrest him on the spot......

[turbinetree]

24. Maybe and it can happen that he can be denied landing

his B757-200 which cannot make it to Moscow on a full tanks of gas, but he can make it on a taxpayer funded B-747-400 for his treason, with a big old presidential seal on the fuselage, just for added fun ..................

Lock his ass up before he goes, to end his shenanigan's of "blackmail" ............... thats all he does is blackmail someone , country, elections...............

[LiberalFighter]

25. They should refuse landing.

[redstatebluegirl]

26. At noon on the 20th that coach turns into a pumpkin.

I wonder if has the money to get home, if he will ever come back here.

[onetexan]

29. whoa he's making a run for it

Good riddance! Though i would like to see him hogtied & hauled out of the WH

[japple]

31. Bet he's heading out for Saudi Arabia or someplace where he will

receive a warmer reception.

[Tommymac]

34. Hell is not warm enough for the Orange Assmouth

I say set the controls for the heart of the sun.

[beachbumbob]

33. getting ready to seek asylum, btw, trump loses all access Jan 20th to govt

services except SS coverage

[Initech]

35. Planning exile to avoid prosecution, are we?

[George II]

40. Let's hope he does. Remember, at noon the next day, if he's still there, he pays his own way home.

[Ziggysmom]

41. Dunt verry I prutectz ze plane!

[irisblue]

43. The First Minister of Scotland says ' Donald, keep your broke ass home'

Not really. I just like Fergies song Glamorous, chorus seems to fit here.

Link to tweet

[electric_blue68]

45. I've been up all night (not for bad reasons) - so...

I'm sleepy and going to sleep soon.

A sleepy question perhaps .
He's using this military Boeing 757 that the president occasionally uses.
So this then is not one of the two
super fancy equipped Presidential planes?

If it isn't - then I guess it wouldn't be the worse thing if he headed to Russia - at least we wouldn't lose one of the extra special planes.

Though I really want him to be tried here in NYC for some crimes at least. And truly somehow for his deliberate lying to Americans with all this "hoax" & no masks BS - ?criminally negligent homicide?

I guess we'll find out "soon" enuff.

[ret5hd]

46. He's fleeing the interview!!!!

[jalan48]

49. Maybe he thinks he can run for King of Scotland.

[lagomorph777]

73. I hope he succeeds, just like Charles I.

[jalan48]

78. Thanks, I had to look this up-Off with his head!

[BadgerKid]

51. There's your get-away vehicle. n/t

[relayerbob]

52. Skipping the country. First leg of his trip to the USSR

Oh, oops, I meant Russia.

I suspect his stay there will be short, he's a loose end with a big mouth. Tea?

[a la izquierda]

54. Well Scotland just entered lockdown again...

(or as of midnight tonight) so what the fuck does he expect to do?

[Jarqui]

55. Those bone spurs are acting up and a detriment to defending all the criminal charges

on American soil.

[IronLionZion]

56. Scotland should refuse him because of COVID lockdown

forcing him to continue to Russia. It would be great if he was expecting a nice dacha but is instead sent to Siberia.

[lonely bird]

63. Damn straight.

Nobody in Europe should allow that fucker to land. If they run out of fuel they can land. The authorities should cordon off the play and have the FBI in place to arrest the asshat.

[Joe Nation]

57. NO way the CIA is going to allow this trip to go any further east

He knows too many of our national security secrets. I wonder if he is taking the nuclear football with him?

[twodogsbarking]

61. It's an expensive trip and

Mexico isn't paying for it.

[Turbineguy]

62. Yeah

like Scotland is a non-extradition treaty country.

[Vinca]

64. He's got to get the hell out of the country before Letitia James knocks on his door.

[elleng]

65. Hope he 'enjoys' Scotland's 'lovely' January weather!

[thenelm1]

67. Confiscate his passport. n/t

[C Moon]

68. He's making his escape. Guilty fucker.

[llmart]

71. Wonder if Malaria is going with him.

My guess is no.

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. He'd better have that plane back by noon.

It will be "Biden's plane" that afternoon.

I particularly "enjoyed" the "break with tradition" phrase. Cause, yeah. That's what he's been doing. "Breaking tradition."

You've gotta admit, encouraging gangs of armed maniacs is not the staid, predictable old "politics as usual," is it?

[jmowreader]

75. If he's aboard when the inauguration happens...

...the government will almost certainly call the crew: "Bring him back."

[SayItLoud]

76. After Jan. 20 th. who pays for tRUMP flights on taxpayer jets? NT

[Coyote45]

79. turnberry trip

He will never land in Turnberry. Biden, as commander in chief, will have been sworn in and ordered the plane back to USA. Refuel in Iceland and beck to a greeting committee at Long Island, NY. He will become familiar with the place.

[riversedge]

81. umm.. Scotland is going into lockdown tonight

[Coyote45]

82. donald trump

donnie, you are never going to make it. long island is in your future.

[MarcA]

90. May try to find a place where he can be president in exile.

Of course some place without an extradition treaty and he can sell secrets. Russia? N.Korea? Iran?

[marble falls]

91. So he has to thumb back?
