Bill Maher says he “doesn’t blame” Trump for sneaking off Air Force One in a catering truck while Marco Rubio and the press stayed on the decoy plane.
Then Andrew Cuomo jumps in and admits every other president would have done the exact same thing.

MAHER: “President Trump foiled the assassins again this week. He jumped on the plane that wasn’t the plane, but he left everybody else on the other plane. If the Iranians were going to shoot down that plane, goodbye, Marco Rubio and a lot of other people. No, I’m not judging here. I’m sure that’s what the Secret Service told him to do.”
“My question is, because I’ve heard it is the president’s discretion whether he could do that or not. Do you think any other president would have done it differently? Like, say, Jimmy Carter. He was like Mr. Christian Guy. Would he have left his friends on that other plane? What about Obama? What about Reagan?”
ANDERSON: “Donald Trump has had a number of credible threats on his life, traced back to the Iranian government. He got his ear shot. So I kind of think if you’re Donald Trump, you do what the Secret Service tells you.”
MAHER: “Yeah, I would.”
CUOMO: “I think they all would.”
MAHER: “You think they all would?”
CUOMO: “Yeah, I think they would do what the Secret Service said to do. Yes, it’s his decision, but you rarely go against what the Secret Service is advising.”
On the decoy plane were Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, White House staffers, and the traveling press, some of whom had no idea the president was gone and were told to keep their window shades closed.
Meanwhile, Trump was smuggled off Air Force One inside a catering truck to a smaller military jet, with Pete Hegseth flying at his side. The White House said he was aboard Air Force One the whole time.
