From Clinton To Trump: How US Presidents Have Used Decoys, Secret Flights To Outsmart Assassination Threats · timesnownews.com

Presidents sometimes travel to places where people want to hurt them.

To stay safe, they use secret plans and tricks.

Some presidents used fake planes and fake cars called decoys.

Those decoys tricked people into watching the wrong things.

Bill Clinton used decoys like this.

Other presidents kept their trips a secret until they were already on the way.

George W. Bush and Barack Obama used that approach.

President Trump's operation in Turkey was unusual because it used both tricks at once.

There was a public show suggesting he was going one way, but he really went another way.

Even people traveling with him did not know the real plan.
