White House Doesn’t Deny Rumors of Trump Fleeing to Scotland Ahead of Biden Inauguration
LOCH HIM UP

Over the weekend, reports in Scotland noted some weird U.S. military activity happening at the airport nearest President Donald Trump’s flagship Scottish golf resort. According to the Sunday Post, surveillance aircraft have been spotted over Trump Turnberry, and a Boeing 757 previously used by the president is scheduled to land at Prestwick Airport on Jan. 19—a day before Joe Biden’s inauguration. Now, with rumors of Trump’s flight gaining traction, the White House has issued a statement. Judd Deere, deputy White House press secretary, downplayed the prospect of Trump’s trip to Scotland—but, interestingly, didn’t deny it. Deere told Fox News: “Anonymous sources who claim to know what the president is or is not considering have no idea. When President Trump has an announcement about his plans for Jan. 20., he will let you know.”

rules (Scotland's are even more restrictive) may discourage him somewhat from doing that. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/lockdown-travel-rules-uk-flights-abroad-b1782275.html

But when has the law EVER made a difference to the Scofflaw and Traitor-in-Chief?

Take the plane over there even though we have others and then return. This gives him the final image he wants and seemingly, to him, the last word.
