Trump Blames His Own Bodyguards for Decoy Flight
The Narativ | Know Sooner — ✈️ Decoy Confirmed · ⚖️ Pirro’s Jury · 🗳️ Wisconsin Chooses · ⏳ Blanche Silent · 🏀 Lakers Sold
👀 STORIES TO WATCH
✈️ THE ESCAPE STORY
Trump confirmed the decoy-plane switch Tuesday and blamed the Secret Service for ordering it, the New York Times reported. The Washington Post named the three who rode out in a catering truck: Dan Scavino, Walt Nauta, and Natalie Harp — the personal aide who prints the internet for him. Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent rode the decoy Iran was allegedly targeting, CBS reported; Stephen Miller stayed aboard. Chuck Schumer demands briefings. Trump’s approval sits at an all-time low. Iran told America directly what Trump is running from: a top adviser to the IRGC’s leader went on PBS Tuesday night and said the war runs “until Trump is out” — the strategy, stated plainly, is draining America’s interceptor stocks. The Times confirmed the math: US interceptor supplies dwindled as Iran adapted its attacks. Nobody has shown the missile threat to the plane was ever real. Trump swapped planes, blamed his bodyguards, and hid from an enemy already explaining itself on American television.
⚖️ PIRRO’S GRAND JURY
Jeanine Pirro convened a rare special grand jury in Washington, the Washington Post reported — and the reporting points at Anthony Fauci. New York Magazine framed her choice: “Indict Fauci or Anger Trump.” Trump publicly threatened Pirro’s job this week, per the Daily Beast, and Jamie Raskin is probing her reversal on the Reflecting Pool shooting. Fauci stands charged with nothing. That is the story: a grand jury convened to prove a lie, run by a prosecutor performing for the boss who keeps threatening to fire her.
🗳️ WISCONSIN CHOOSES
David Crowley beat Francesca Hong in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary — the socialist the Republican Governors Association spent $3.6 million elevating, as Narativ reported yesterday. Democrats looked at the gift horse and checked its teeth. In Minnesota, Mike Lindell lost his primary and won’t concede, alleging “anomalies.” Democrats decided the DSA is not the savior — it may be a Republican Trojan horse — and walked the other way. Good news for the party, and the country.
⏳ BLANCHE’S DEADLINE
Todd Blanche has until 1 PM ET tomorrow, in Judge Sullivan’s courtroom, to produce the ordered documentation of the Epstein-file redactions — and he has filed nothing. The $1,000-a-day contempt fine sits loaded and waiting. One more silent day and the attorney general starts paying for those redactions personally, by court order, every day.
🏀 LAKERS SOLD
Josh Kushner — Jared’s brother — and Bob Iger are buying the Lakers from Mark Walter for a record $12.5 billion, pending NBA approval. Walter bought the team a year ago. Everybody wins in this economy.
🎯 THE BIGGER PICTURE
The lies are coming home to roost. Trump blames the Secret Service for his own decoy flight; his prosecutor convenes a grand jury on a case that does not exist; his attorney general sits silent under a court deadline. Each story gets stranger because each is the same story — Trump running from something real. The real thing aired on PBS: the Revolutionary Guard says the war runs until Trump is out. IRGC-laundered money once financed Trump’s tower project in Baku. Trump’s history keeps intersecting with the Guard now hunting him — which may be why they know so much.

The Ayatollah died. The Revolutionary Guard didn’t — and Trump’s Baku money trail runs straight through the force now hunting his plane. We told you all this in March - that’s how you know sooner.
NEW ANALYSIS: The Ayatollah Is Dead. The Revolutionary Guard Remains
The Ayatollah is dead. Iranian state television has confirmed it, declaring Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “martyred in a joint attack by the criminal United States and the Zionist regime.” His palace is rubble. His defense minister, his National Security Council secretary, and as many as ten senior leaders who made the mistake of sitting in the same room are gone with him.
Trump should resign to end the war. Wishful thinking.
Except for the fact that many innocent people were riding on the same airplane as Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and Scott Bessent did I would have hoped that the Iranians had actually targeted and attacked it. If only people from Trump's administration had been on the aircraft allegedly targeted by Iran, I would have been so happy if its agents had actually shot it down and killed everyone on board.
