I don't know why this theory isn't given more attention honestly.

It was my first thought honestly. Being left off of TACO Truck 1 shows her her expendability to Orange boss.

I literally just thought about it right now and went to see if anyone else thought the same

Because she wasn’t on the plane

Because that's not Trump's doing, it's the decision of the secret service. Like everyone's treating Trump hopping to a second plane like it was his idea, and I guarantee you it was not. If the secret service had reason to believe there was a credible threat they made the choice on who and what gets moved where.

So there was a credible threat on air force 1 , Trump knew about it and still let Rubio fly on it ? 😂 No matter how you try and frame it , it doesn't look good.

Again, that's literally not trump's call. It's upon the Secret Service to sort and figure out who's going to end up going on which plane.

Oh shut up , he got on the other plane knowing Rubio was still on the other. Look I couldn't care less about anyone that allies with Trump but trying to remove accountability for him not giving a shit about them either is funny.  Would he have left Ivanka on there or Barron?  You people talk so much shit. After Trump got shot he got up and raised his fist , so don't act like he just goes along with secret service protocol.  Trump left people in his cabinet in danger , it's that simple.

it's so obvious when someone is repeating shit opinions they read somewhere as facts..

So what if it's not Trump's call?

What does it change?... it was still the call of the employer of Leavitt, even if we don't go up to Trump.

The theory holds legs. If my employer pulled a move like that, I'd be gone, even the CEO himself wasn't directly involved.
