because it shows that you’re not winning and there’s a confidence issue at play. If you had the most powerful military in the world, the most powerful and sophisticated intelligence network, why would you hide yourself for fear of attack by Iran? that’s not winning, that’s losing. That’s also putting on display that you lack confidence in your own military and intelligence networks. i.e. well maybe now they’re not the most powerful and sophisticated networks in the world anymore, or the leader of said networks no longer trusts them.
So while hiding in a food truck is amusing it does show that there’s a much bigger issue at play here. It clearly shows to the world that A. the US is weak and B. it’s leader doesn’t trust his own military/CIA/whatever to keep him safe. this is dictator level of lack of trust within a crumbling empire.
Trump is not smart enough to have orchestrated this switcheroo. More likely his top military minions determined this was the necessary action, meaning they lack confidence in their peers and subordinates. Which I would argue is worse.
