...as Trump announces he has COVID-19 with plane spotters suggesting

*Early Friday morning, two military planes, E-6B Mercuries, were
spotted flying over Washington, DC and Oregon

*These planes typically carry instructions from the National Command
Authority to fleets of ballistic missile submarines

*The flyovers occurred minutes before President Donald Trump and First
Lady Melania Trump announced they had tested positive for the
coronavirus

*Most military aircraft fly with their transponders off, but the two
planes launched with their transponders on, allowing them to be
publicly tracked

*Plane spotters believe the flyover was a warning to America's enemies
to not attack and 'a show of strength'



Why? Trump's friends (Russia, N Korea)
wouldn't attack Trump's America, and his
enemies (virtually every other country in
the world) don't want to bolster his
election chances by rallying Americans to
his side because of an attack.
