No one can tell me these orders did not come from him.

(12,801 posts)Trump in not capable of thinking up the simplest concept, he has other evil people to put the bug in his ear and then write his order for him to sign.

(67,852 posts)Very childish and petulant. No effect other than calling attention to him being childish and petulant. Not smart or strategic. Just dumb.

(2,979 posts)that all the commentators, pundits, etc. should include Stephen Miller directing Trump to do all this. Trump doesn't like to have credit given to anyone else so it should be something like "is Stephen Miller behind Trump doing xyz. Is Stephen Miller giving orders to Trump." It would drive Trump even crazier than he already is...

(126,929 posts)Of course it's possible that these were military airplanes, and even that Fatso ordered them. But that would be stupidly obvious even for him, since the disruption was of such short duration as to be pointless.

(20,390 posts)These sounded like fighter jets. More than one. And they were close and low.
Ocelot II
(126,929 posts)since obviously it didn't, at all.
LuckyCharms
(20,390 posts)If he had concern for the victims, he would have made damn sure that this didn't happen at that particular time.
Ocelot II
(126,929 posts)I guess I'm so used to airplane noise where I live that when the departures are so loud you can't hear anything, everybody just stops talking for a few seconds and nobody thinks anything of it.
mwmisses4289
(2,071 posts)He was probably hoping they would cancel it because of the scheduled flyover. Epsteins victims in essence gave him a big fu.
Makes me think of a line from the movie Labryrinth, where Sara looks at the Troll King and says " You have no power over me".
Prairie Gates
(6,101 posts)No?
The supposed reason for it is something something welcome the Polish president, so they at least came up with some bullshit, but this seems like exactly the sort of juvenile shit a Steven Cheung would dream up alongside a few of his manosphere imbeciles.

(23,165 posts)Commercial jets don't fly directly over the Capitol. Military jets can though, although they ususally don't, unless they're specifically ordered to:
* Military flyover set for 11 a.m. over White House.
* Aircraft details not yet released.
* Last flyover featured Air Force jets on July 4.
WASHINGTON - A U.S. military flyover is expected above the White House on Wednesday morning, according to D.C. officials. The event is scheduled for 11 a.m., though details about which aircraft will be involved have not been released.

That was the noise interrupting the press conference.

(23,165 posts)In fact, it seemed to remind everyone that Donald Trump's presence looms large over the whole affair...
NJCher
(41,260 posts)I would say "it served to remind everyone that Donald Trump is a petulant child."
Who has the double whammy! A demented child!

(6,831 posts)It was definitely the military flyover that Trump ordered. It was clear the planes flew directly over the spot of the press conference.

(4 posts)Believe it was a missing man formation for a polish pilot that was lost and in conjunction with the polish president in town.
LuckyCharms
(20,390 posts)It couldn't wait 30-40 minutes?
My point is this.
The victims were not given priority, or respect by doing that flyover at the exact time that they were answering questions from the press.
This was a planned and timed disruption. It was disrespectful and dismissive of the victims.
NJCher
(41,260 posts)spotted himself a nice opportunity for plausible deniel. That would be Miller; trump's too far gone to think that way.

The survivors should have waved @ the jets and said, Hi Donny.
StarryNite
(11,767 posts)It disrespected the victims and the military. It could be seen as a veiled threat to say he has all this power to unleash on his enemies. And the repubs had better fall in line and not vote to release the files.
