Donald Trump’s campaign requested military aircraft for Trump to fly in during the final weeks of the campaign, expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies, ballistic glass pre-positioned in seven battleground states for the campaign’s use and an array of military vehicles to transport Trump, according to emails reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.

And order them to supply him with it. After all some of his cult believe he’s still secretly in charge. Or is it President Obama in charge today. Maybe Vice President Harris is in charge. None of them seem to know who’s in charge.

Btw since some of his cult believes he is still in charge why did he use the sooper sekrit weather machine to hit Florida?

He's going (or already has) phoned his BFF Bibi and told him to unleash hell the week before the election. "Make sure that Hormooz place gets shut too!"
