Q: Why was it too dangerous for you to fly on Air Force One but not for the press?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know, I think actually the plane I that I flew on was at greater risk

Q: Why do you say that?

TRUMP: Because that would be the plane they would be more likely to go for.

No, you used the press corp as bait and left them to die while you scampered away in a catering truck.
