Trump should send out a working SR71.

Send an SR 71 and don’t have any dems working on it before departure.

Feinstein and Schumer are now checking with the Clintons, to see if they can have the jet shot-down, blame it on the Russians, and then cancel the vote for an extended DC funeral - and lack of clear majority.

Trump’s private 757 or 767 with daughter and new son in law on board for the ride of a lifetime would be good. Pre position it in Montana Mr President with the engines warm and ready to go.

His vote is going to be needed and a Senator who puts his own personal issues ahead of the nation isn’t worthy of being a Senator.

any idea how long it took to prep one that was flyable let alone one which hasn’t been operational in decades?

these were not Chevy’s that you just gas up turn the key and drive.

No, but if we did it would take months to restore and there are probably no active-duty pilots left that are certified for that aircraft. Plus it uses special fuel and specialized maintenance people who are no longer around. Not going to happen. An F-15 could get him back in a reasonable amount of time but the press would howl about Trump misusing Air Force assets.

Trump’s private 757 or 767...

Whatever Daines flies on should have a ring of 24/7 effective security starting just about one hour ago.

Sure...that’s what the Russians and the Chinese think, too.

Probably a couple of fighter jets flying at a very high altitude as not to be seen by the naked eye.
