RT There's an E-6B Mercury off the east coast near DC. I looked because I would expect them to pop up if he tests positive. It's a message to the small group of adversaries with SLBMs and ICBMs.pic.twitter.com/3ta9PmPxZD

Could you explain this please? Why would an E-6B be launched if he tests positive? Who would be on it?
It's the plane that has the ability to order the killing of everyone on earth if someone attacks the US with nukes in a first strike. It can talk to our missile subs under water even if DC is gone.

Okay, thanks! But... DC isn't gone. If Trump is incapacitated, Pence would take over smoothly from right there on the ground. So, why would having the E-6B airborne be necessary to show our adversaries that we're still capable of launching a counterattack in this situation?
-
Pence could be on it right now, just in case one of those other countries tried something stupid. It's probably more of a signal that no one should try to do something so stupid. I hate to say this, but it's not stupid to do this.

If this is a campaign hoax, they've really committed to the gag.

I get M.A.D. and all but isn't that kind of excessive? Is this normal when a president is (slightly) incapacitated?
-
I mean, if there's a time to attack (super unlikely) it WOULD be at a time of chaos like this, where specifically you may expect the President to be somewhat incapacitated. So I'm not surprised. This is a statement that the military is not asleep, that's all.
