Just to be clear regardless Trump's travels...

He leaves Friday on Air Force One to Palm Beach (with a stopover in South Carolina).

Today he takes Air Force One from Palm Beach to Melbourne, a short jaunt up the coast that takes less than 2 hours by car.

He then takes the tiny flight back to Palm Beach on AF1.

And tomorrow he flies back to D.C.

Why go to Melbourne today? If he needs his hour of adulation, why not do it Sunday on his way back? It just comes off as a ridiculous waste of resources.

Of course why question the ridiculous at this point?

that isn't an anti-trump crowd. He had to move a little further north into redneck territory.
