Do you think Trump knows there are two of the planes?

Almost certainly not.

How does Trump playing golf in Scotland prevent Biden from being sworn into office?

The nuclear football would be with Trump in Scotland.

Knowing Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, he’ll order the pilot of Air Force One to fly to Scotland, then land even without a clearance to do so. The confrontation on the tarmac could be worthy of pay-per-view.

They'd be cleared to land, but deplaning without the use of small arms could be an issue.

Perhaps he’s seen a list of countries that have extradition treaties with the US, and noticed that Scotland isn’t on it.

Until 12:01pm when it would become one of the backups/spares and his authorization code invalidated.

Quote:

In Presidential transitions, the president-elect does not receive the actual nuclear code card until after the nuclear briefing, when "he meets with the outgoing president at the White House just before the actual inauguration ceremony.

Sadly that seems more reasonable than any of Trump’s current CTs!

According to the stories, it's a 757 (VC-32) he's taking instead of a 747 (VC-25). The AF has two of the 747's and four 757's so there's plenty of transport left for Biden.

I'm just wondering how he plans to get back, assuming they let him land!

That's an interesting thought. If Trump flies anywhere near the end of his term, how will the codes be brought back to DC on the 20th?

Assuming they gave trump valid codes and a working "nuclear football".

Maybe they were smart 4 years ago and realized how unstable and a security risk trump was and gave him fakes
