Lured by the prospect of fat cat donors paying between $35,000 and $250,000 to watch him eat well-done steak with ketchup, a chance to poke a stick in the eyes of Left Coast Progressives, and the opportunity to extol his Border Wall hallucination, the Oligarch-in-Chief is coming to California on March 13.

Specifics about the visit are in short supply beyond a daytime visit to the wall prototypes in Otay Mesa and a Republican fundraiser in Beverley Hills.

The Fresno Bee says there are rumors Trump will visit Fresno on the following day to reward Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Comrade) for his loyalty. The Union-Tribune speculated last week on the possibility of Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-Grifter) tagging along for the border wall inspection.
From the Los Angeles Times:

President Trump, the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to skip a visit to California in his initial year in office, finally will come to the Golden State on Tuesday to inspect prototypes for his proposed southern border wall, according to an administration official.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday said Trump would visit next week. Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity to divulge internal planning, confirmed the president would spend Tuesday in the state with which he’s had the most fraught relationship.

The visit comes as the relationship between Trump and the Democratic state government has reached a new level of toxicity. Many residents consider California to be the center of resistance to Trump, and he has returned the sentiment, often criticizing the state— and suing it. The administration filed suit this week to enforce federal immigration actions.

From another article in the Los Angeles Times:

President Trump will headline a high-dollar fundraiser for his reelection campaign when he visits California next week for the first time in his presidency, according to an invitation obtained by The Times.

Donors will contribute up to $250,000 each to Trump’s campaign and various Republican National Committee accounts to attend the Tuesday evening event at an undisclosed location in Beverly Hills. The top ticket price includes a roundtable, photo opportunity and dinner. The cheapest ticket, which is dinner only, costs $35,000 for an individual and $50,000 for a couple.

and feed. Since it is in Hollywood, they could have a "black carpet event" so we can know who his dedicated wealthiest traitors are. Misguided wealth has corrupted our politics and destroyed our nation. And so it continues.
