The president's schedule and movements - especially when he leaves the WH - are timed down to the minute. An OTR is something that was not previously on the schedule. It can be an activity that was actually vaguely planned in advance but for some reason wasn't committed to the schedule, perhaps because it allows the president to spontaneously at the last minute decide if he wants to do it - for example, going to church or going shopping or stopping at a favorite barbeque place.

It could be something they decided not to alert in advance for security or some other reason.

Or it could be something that just came up, like an unexpected rush to the hospital.

I could be wrong, but if I'm not I suspect President Mob Boss has a new crisis manager.

have been bothered. Now? He’s using every opportunity possible to buy public favor in order to save his neck. He doesn’t care about the troops.

Wouldn't it be something if the tool just up and abandoned the presidency and fled like some tin pot dictator being run out of the country.

Wonder what gimmicky escapade this is.

And if MF45 is trying to upstage the damning testimony of Dr. Hill for the TV evening news cycle.

meet the coffins of service members. It was too sad for him.

It would be one thing if he is doing that out of a sense of duty, but that wouldn't be the case.

He's probably been getting a lot of hate mail. And cholesterol.
