Debunking Trump's Alleged Moscow Trip En Route to D.C.

A Reddit post claimed that former US President Donald Trump flew to Moscow while posting on Truth Social about heading to Washington D.C. However, the image is misleading as Trump's plane has been blocked from flight recording since 2015. The aircraft mentioned in the Reddit post could not have been tracked alongside any messages Trump has posted on the social media platform. The image suggests that Trump was visiting Moscow, but it is improbable that information about such a visit could have been kept entirely secret. The claim is misleading.
