What if AF1 just ditched Trump in Saudi Arabia?

You know, like that old high school trick, played on the unpopular kid. Just ditch him! While he's in a meeting and the family and staff are out sight-seeing, just take off and fly back to the US. Let The Donald find his own way home, if he can.

It'll be great! Tremendous, really, believe me!

"You know how I am, Pooty. I've got that CRS thing...you know, Old-timer's disease. I'd love to help you out, but, I have trouble even finding my bathroom in the White House. Before we left, I peed in the refrigerator. I sorta thought it was funny that the light came on when I opened the door, but when a guy's gotta go, you know..."

Is Trump travelling between properties he owns in FL, NJ and NY. He is getting the Secret Service to upgrade security at all of these properties and once he is out of office he can sell them at a significant profit

that this is his new reality tv show. He gets left behind in a Middle east country and then we get to watch if he makes it out alive.

To make it interesting, he spent a great deal of time insulting those countries.

The Vegas bets on this are YUUUGE, the biggest ever.

There was a military delegation heading for somewhere or other, including the defense minister. They got into the plane, took off, and suddenly, everyone was asking, "Where is Rudi (Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping)?" They had taken off without him.

As for AF1 ditching Trump in Saudi, I doubt the Saudis would be very appreciative. They would probably get one of their surrogates to hold a few dozen Americans hostage until AF1 came back and removed Trump from their soil ASAP.

we may hear Trump's head explode from here. He's finished. Done. It's over. Kaput. He could even resign while on this 9-day trip, perhaps, and catch a ride home on AF1.
