Trump might return to Palm Beach for third straight weekend

Source: Palm Beach Post

UPDATE: President Donald Trump will return to his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach this weekend, according to a Federal Aviation Administration advisory issued just moments ago.

Trump will be in town from Friday through Monday, according to the FAA. The advisories issued by the agency are among the best indicators of presidential travel. They are issued several days before the FAA enacts temporary flight restrictions, and are intended as a heads up to pilots who may travel through an area when a president is visiting.

EARLIER STORY:

PALM BEACH — President Donald Trump, who just left town Sunday, might be coming back to his winter White House at Mar-a-Lago for a third straight weekend.

It’s not confirmed, but Palm Beach County Airports Director Bruce Pelly told about two dozen local officials and business representatives during a meeting this morning that he has heard Trump is returning for the President’s Day weekend, Palm Beach Post reporter Eliot Kleinberg says.

You have got to be kidding me. It this going to happen every week now? WTF. This is even more irritating for me because I just moved to Boca Raton last month. As if I-95 traffic isn't already bad, now this asshole wants to come every weekend.

I feel like I have been saying this in disgust about 20 times a day, but imagine if Obama declared a resort in Hawaii to be his 'winter white house' and went there 3 out of the first 4 weekends of his presidency. All the while Michelle decided not to move into the white house and, instead, stayed in Chicago at a cost of million dollars a day.

Before I got this job and moved down here, I was living in a more rural part of the state. Certainly a step up moving down here and getting a much better paying job.

Will Richard DeAgazio again be taking photos? Will Rick, the nuclear footballer, still have a job?

These, and other questions, next time on - As the Trump Turns (America into a laughingstock)

He's working on the property - you know, the Florida ranch.

He's "clearing brush" - just like "W" did 1/4 of his 8 years in office - getting ready for retirement!

Oh, what's that? He's not living there now? He's in a gated community in town?

Guess he didn't get enough time off to get it ready.

And there are other paying members who want their photos taken with the nuclear football. At $200,000 a head you have to give the people what they want.
