The aircraft's arrival coincided with reports that Trump is considering military action against Iran's nuclear facilities.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the president privately approved operational attack plans while stopping short of authorizing an attack.
Multiple sources said Trump remains undecided about launching strikes, amid doubts over whether American Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs could destroy Iran's deeply buried and heavily fortified Fordow nuclear plant near the city of Qom.

Wiki:

Doomsday plane[1] is an unofficial denomination of a class of aircraft which is used as an airborne command post in an event of nuclear war, disaster or other large scale conflict that threatens key military and government infrastructure.
The only countries known to have designed and manufactured such aircraft are the United States and the Russian Federation. For its Russian counterpart, see Doomsday plane (Russia).

3. I think a location near Omaha was once the location for the Strategic Air Command.

I think that the facilities relating to SAC and NORAD have undergone some relocations over the years.

8. More theatrical terrorism and dick-wagging.

This is what you get when you have a mentally unfit reality TV dictator, who is all about appearances and drama. Bring out the 'Doomsday' plane to scare the shit out of everyone, and distract them from all of your fuck-ups and criminality. Same shit, different day. A pox on the people around him who are facilitating this insanity. May they all get what they deserve.
