President Donald Trump demanded the Supreme Court save his stalled White House ballroom by invoking an Air Force One missile threat he once flatly denied.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court on Thursday, asking the justices to block a federal appeals court order that has halted above-ground construction on the $400 million project.<\/p>\n

That order is set to take effect Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

In its , the government listed six recent assassination attempts it says make the ballroom a national security necessity.<\/p>\n

Among them was “the threat of a missile attack against Air Force One on July 8.”<\/p>\n

That missile threat, however, is one Trump spent weeks insisting did not exist.<\/p>\n

On July 8, hours before secretly leaving Turkey, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was switching planes. Meanwhile, most staffers and reporters were left aboard the original flight.<\/p>\n

“For old time’s sake,” he wrote on Truth Social, he would take the older Air Force One \u2014 to let military personnel in Britain get a look at the new Qatari-gifted jet.<\/p>\n

When reporters asked Trump directly about a security concern after he landed, he shut the question down.<\/p>\n

“No. No. Why would there be?” Trump told reporters.<\/p>\n

White House communications director Steven Cheung went further, attacking an MS NOW reporter who had written that the switch was driven by security concerns about the new plane.<\/p>\n

“Complete fake news,” Cheung wrote, CNN reported, adding the reporter “has no idea what she is talking about.”<\/p>\n

Five days after the flight, on July 13, Trump went on Fox News to describe the state of Iran’s military.<\/p>\n

“They got nothing,” Trump told Fox News. “They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. It’s all gone.”<\/p>\n

Then, on Aug. 11, Trump reversed course.<\/p>\n

“I guess there was a threat out there,” Trump told reporters, CNN reported. “I didn’t really ask too much about it.”<\/p>\n

According to the New York Times, Trump had been secretly removed from Air Force One in a catering container, while the plane was sent into the sky anyway \u2014 with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, senior aides, and reporters aboard as unwitting decoys.<\/p>\n

Now his own lawyers are using that flight as Exhibit A for why the Supreme Court should let the ballroom be built.<\/p>\n
