Can it be verified that Trump actually did receive such a briefing? Not beneath him to lie about it in order to get "special treatment" protection.

So my next questions are: What does he really want military planes for? Does he think that he can use them to skip the country? Is he planning some kind of political violence and wants to be protected from the consequences?

Or is it just more of his victim posturing to get attention and concern for his well being from his followers? Does he believe that having the level of military protection that a president gets will make him look more presidential to voters? More important because a foreign power supposedly wants to kill him?

Maybe someone should tell the Orange Chosen One that death threats and execution come with the territory. It's there in his $60 Chinese made Bible in the outcome for John the Baptist and St. Stephen, as well as Jesus. The apostles did not fare well at the end of their lives, either. Be careful about whom you profess to be in case fate takes you seriously.
