No public schedule, it says. He'll probably stay in his bedroom all day and watch Fox News.

He's got special orders for eclairs and cream puffs. But he'll keep the calories down with Diet Coke.

Or, alternatively, maybe they put him in the Presidential strait jacket for the weekend.

White House staffers have found that if they keep him in the dark and feed him BS, he will tweet but will be less dangerous.

President Trump is staying in the White House today, where he will be examined by his personal physician. Apparently, he's concerned about some Pecker leakage and needs reassurance: "It's nothing, Mr. President. Don't worry about it."

here is a recent tidbit from the press pool

Good Saturday morning from the White House on a beautiful summer day.
Motorcade pulled out at 10:21 am, destination unannounced, but one can imagine. POTUS sighted entering motorcade in white shirt, red hat.


Heading out to Trump National DC for some golf perhaps and/or meetings with his foreign handlers?

he could cheer himself by driving around in a motorcade, like a big shot, and looking Presidential, and maybe holding up traffic to show the vassals who was in charge and stuff

There is no direction. There is no destination.

Pool says:

Motorcade arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling VA at 10:58 am. Ride was uneventful.
Pool vans peeled off, did not enter club. We are holding at Lucias Italian restaurant nearby.


"Nearby" is more than a mile so the press will not see comings and goings.

He has all the money in the world, but he spends none of it on exploring the world or taking in cultural pursuits. He has probably never seen a play, been to the opera or a museum (unless it was to raise funds for himself), visited another country for pleasure or done anything interesting or exciting.

What a shallow, uninteresting, uncultured, vulgar person.

If either he or Pence is flying somewhere, they notify airports of air space closings by location and time. Since the closures are a big deal for general aviation, one of their associations always reports the information timely (in a more readable form than the FAA, at least for me).

Here's the link. Note that it doesn't say much of anything right now since neither of them are flying anywhere today.
