As we reported earlier, CNN's Jake Tapper and just about everyone else are upset about President Donald Trump's plane switcheroo in Turkey, where he boarded Air Force One as usual for the cameras, slipped out a back exit, and rode in a catering truck to another military aircraft, due to a credible threat from the Iranians. The press weren't told of this (because they would have leaked it) and are upset they were used as "decoys."
In what is not a surprisingly long 525-post thread, Seth Abramson is calling for Trump to be impeached over the stunt, which he has dubbed "Operation Orange Chicken" and says "makes Benghazi look like a golf outing." Just to clear things up, Benghazi was a successful Islamic terrorist attack that actually claimed lives.
Here’s a NYT image of the President of the United States fleeing Turkey *inside an airport catering cart* as he leaves members of his own staff and the entire White House traveling press pool to die in a warned-of Iranian military attack over Turkey Impeach this m*therfucker now

(📣) It’s time to totally reframe Operation Orange Chicken as the historically serious political scandal it is. 🔗: https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/stop-calling-it-a-decoy-plane-last This makes Benghazi look like a golf outing.

OK, no gigantic thread, but a Substack post.
I wasn't aware that the plane was shot down and they died. How tragic.

Yet NOTHING happened, Seth. Almost like it was professionally handled, huh?

You think this is even the first president to have done that? No, maybe the first time "journalists" have spazzed out about it.

I'm sure the intelligence agencies and Secret Service didn't have any say in the matter. You morons are so predictable. Cry harder little boy.

Eat a bag of diseased dicks Seth. The Secret Service made that call and did their job keeping the Commander and Chief alive. There is always danger traveling with the President it’s their job!! If any one of them takes issue with it they should go work at Walmart!!

Are you complaining that the president was moved secretly during ongoing assassination threats? This is about as standard practice as you can get, are they supposed to alert everyone that he switched planes? What's the point?

Truly one of the most ignorant statements on X today.

The USSS has the responsibility of protecting the president. Nowhere in its mission does it state 'save and protect the lying, leaking mainstream media.'
Good call and great action by the Secret Service.
The lefty lunatics got their marching orders today

In what way?
Benghazi? I'll engage with your post, even if it's just to laugh at you.

What was the death toll here?
— GruntDoc (@gruntdoc) August 11, 2026
Except for the minor detail that no one was killed
— Austin Russell (@stateofdeepness) August 11, 2026
It’s not a scandal at all you crybaby.
— CatoTheElder556 (@CElder556) August 11, 2026
I remember when you would author 250 post threads about shit like this, Seth. Glad to see your mental health is improving.

Four people died in Benghazi, including an ambassador, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staff immediately went to work telling the press it was over a YouTube video. Do you think the press is angry they were lied to?
