Those who know him best...At noon, President Donald Trump completed his first 31 days in office.
Thats 744 hours.
Trump has spent 186.5 of those hours in Florida 25 percent of his time as president. Most of the time was logged in and around his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, but Trump also took side trips within the state to Tampa and Melbourne.
There have been several golf course visits, but it hasnt been all leisure time.
The White House said Trump interviewed candidates for national security adviser and strategized on an Obamacare replacement Sunday while he was at Mar-a-Lago and his Trump International Golf Club. On Feb. 11, Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe golfed and conducted an al fresco dinner strategy session to respond to a North Korea missile test. There have been phone calls from Mar-a-Lago to a variety of world leaders.
Trump has spent three of his first five weekends as president at Mar-a-Lago. His current stay is expected to end later today.

The thing is, a pilot who seriously wanted to wreak havoc* wouldn't have much trouble doing it.

Maybe he's just waiting for the White House to be transformed to palatial golden themes!
Maybe get some cherubs painted on the ceilings!
Make it more "homey"!

I'm not going to describe how, for obvious reasons, but there are MANY ways. The whole debacle of the TFR restrictions is
BS and a huge waste of money, resources and time.
*or worse

(65 posts)9. The thought of DT at Camp David is almost humorous.
I doubt he'll ever "lower" himself to go 'slumming' out there.

I'll gladly claim the guy who threw the alligator through the Wendy's Drive Thru over him.
Trump is New York Man, dammit.
