Fox News presenter Sandra Smith compared Donald Trump to pop star Taylor Swift while discussing reports that the president secretly left Air Force One using a catering truck during a security operation prompted by an Iranian assassination threat. The unexpected comparison unfolded during a broadcast of The Five, where panellists discussed the covert operation carried out after Trump attended a NATO summit in Turkey in July.
For context, US officials received intelligence about a potential Iranian threat against Trump while he was in Turkey, prompting security officials to conceal which aircraft was actually carrying the president. Trump was secretly transferred from the older Air Force One using an airport catering truck and taken to a smaller C-32A military aircraft, which carried him to Britain.
