I guess I could get bored at Camp David, but from what I have seen so far it seems like a pretty cool place to spend a weekend. I will say it does seem like more of a place for an athletic President as opposed to one who just wants to lounge around. However, it does seem like Camp David could be a decent place to spend three or four days every week.

Botany
(70,618 posts)..... as long as the invasive species haven't over run the area. But to somebody like Trump
it is like trying to teach physics to a labrador retiever.
The forest floor can be thick w/spring beauties ...
and if you are very lucky you can see a spring beauty mining bee. These little insects only uses
the spring beauty and is only around for 3 to 4 weeks but it is part of the ecology.
Trump sees flowers as roses by the door to one of his tacky ass gulf places.

could put on a peasant blouse and love beads, go barefoot and peddle her newfound "natural" alternatives to actual health care. Donald could go on a snipe hunt. Qusay and Uday could build a tree fort and shoot squirrels with slingshots. Ivanka and Tiffany, hang around the old swimming hole.

(36,907 posts)it seems like a very relaxing and contemplative place.
I wonder if Trump ever spends a couple of hours without human interaction, sans TV (i.e. people who he can bully/prop him up). His head would probably explode.

It looks really gorgeous there in the winter! And springtime must be magical. Their loss.

NBC News reported that Trumps weekend visits were not only expensive for the taxpayers, but the safety measures implemented by the Secret Service are also costing local business owners big.
Were basically going broke, a spokesperson for Southern Helicopter told NBC News. We were not expecting him to come down almost every weekend.
Jonathan Miller, the president of Stellar Aviation Group, worried that his business would go under if Trump continued to make Mar-a-Lago his weekend destination. Miller estimated that he is losing $30,000 each weekend because of Trump.
Additionally, the taxpayers of Palm Beach County are already on the hook for $1.7 million in extra security, and the White House has so far ignored requests to reimburse the county.

(5,455 posts)Camp David itself is located on the wooded hills of Catoctin Mountain Park, so it may even be colder then 32F depending how much higher up it is.

I'd go to Florida too, since Palm Beach was a pleasant 70F today.

I'm 71 now and have never ridden in a limousine, nor do I want to. But operating dump trucks and bulldozers is still fun.
Poor Barron will probably grow up to be as unhappy and unfulfilled as his father.
