President Donald Trump is changing his story in real time about the temporary mothballing of his new Air Force One gifted to him by the Qatari government, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Monday evening — finally admitting that it had been a security issue all along while targeting the journalists who forced him to come clean.

"Remember that despite literally switching back to the old Air Force One plane before leaving the NATO summit earlier this month, despite the Secret Service telling reporters on that flight to keep their blinds down for safety, Trump denied to reporters that there were any safety concerns," said Psaki, playing a clip of the president from earlier this month.

Horrifying scenario laid out on CNN as Trump enters 'most difficult predicament' of war

A foreign affairs expert laid out the horrifying scenario that President Donald Trump finds himself in now that the war with Iran is starting to escalate again.

The Trump administration has bombed Iran for nearly two consecutive weeks following the Iranian regime's decision to attack commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, an action that was prohibited under the memorandum of understanding that the two countries signed in June to reopen the Strait. While the administration has framed the strikes as a "tit-for-tat" operation, Brett McGurk, former Middle East expert on the National Security Council, told CNN's Brianna Keilar on "The Source" that the escalating tensions could end badly.
