Trumps to spend Thanksgiving at White House instead of traveling to Florida

[FM123]

(The Hill) President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will not travel to Florida to spend Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago this year, marking a break with tradition for the first family as the president refuses to accept defeat in the 2020 election.

Stephanie Grisham, the chief of staff for the first lady, tweeted that Melania Trump and the president will celebrate Thanksgiving at the White House.

While the White House had not formally announced travel plans, the first family was expected to spend the holiday at the president's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. The Trumps had spent each of the past three Thanksgiving holidays there.

But Trump has receded from public view in the two weeks since Election Day and after Joe Biden was projected as president-elect. Trump has made only a few public appearances in the time since, communicating largely through Twitter to spread false claims about the integrity of the vote.

*they are probably afraid we will change the locks on them if they go away for Thanksgiving.....

[SoCalNative]

1. They've got a lot of packing to do

better get to it!

[Wounded Bear]

36. I hope somebody inspects their baggage when they leave...

not that I don't trust the Trumps, but I don't trust the Trumps.

If they steal the Andrew Jackson portrait I'd be tempted to let them get away with it, though.

[Eyeball_Kid]

2. Trump is in to his terrible twos.

If you want him to do “a”, you tell him to NOT do “a”.

[StarfishSaver]

3. He's afraid they'll change the locks while he's gone

[dchill]

4. I think they're afraid they won't be allowed back in.

[onetexan]

12. Seems about right

[torius]

5. There's still some staff

they haven’t managed to infect yet, so they’re staying to be thorough.

[LSFL]

6. The last line of that OP

Was exactly what I was going to say.

[frazzled]

7. I wish I were the White House cook

Turkey is supposed to be done at 115 degrees, right?

[leftieNanner]

11. Make it a round 100 degrees

Should be nice and rare, like a good steak.........

[magicarpet]

15. No,... The Butterball call in line says just defrost the turkey if frozen,...

... todays turkeys should not nor need they be cooked. Just slice off a big chunk and eat it raw. It is a lot more juicy that way.



Bon aperitif...

[moonscape]

28. Maybe a nice bleach marinade first n/t

[magicarpet]

30. Well the marinate should be 1/2 bleach & 1/2 Lysol,....

The Lysol gives the skin that darkish golden color and the Lysol also darkens the pan drippings which enhances the final coloration of the home made turkey gravy.

Bon aperitif,...

8. What's The Old Adage About Occupancy?......

Trump being in the Real Estate business probably thinks he can use this in his quest to remain president:

Possession is nine-tenths of the law is an expression meaning that ownership is easier to maintain if one has possession of something, or difficult to enforce if one does not.

Although the principle is an oversimplification, it can be restated as: "In a property dispute (whether real or personal), in the absence of clear and compelling testimony or documentation to the contrary, the person in actual, custodial possession of the property is presumed to be the rightful owner. (credit Wikipedia)

9. I wouldn't be surprised if he ate in the Oval

And had it televised or at least photographed. With or without the family.

Look at me! I’m still President!!!

[RockRaven]

10. LOL, he can't bring himself to show his face at his precious club because all the rich dickheads

who bought memberships as de facto bribes now know he's a loser and he can't stand the humiliation.

[leftieNanner]

13. Ding! Ding! Ding!

I think we have a winner here!

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. It's taken almost 2 weeks, but I do think he's starting to realize that bullshit

won't make a 2nd term come true. He will never be able to be the public person he was before he fell into the Presidency. He may do some rallies, but I suspect that fewer and fewer people will want to associate with the Loser.

[Butterflylady]

21. You got it!

He's to cowardly to face people. He knows he lost and so do all his so called friends in Florida.

[crickets]

25. Good call, especially about the humiliation of being a loser. Boo hoo! nt

[Brother Mythos]

27. You nailed it!

[NameAlreadyTaken]

14. So that saves us a couple million bucks?

[Blue_true]

17. Doesn't matter. One way or another, Trump leaves on January 20, 2021.

He can do it the easy way and get one last ride on Marine 1, or he can choose what’s behind the curtain.

[Blue Owl]

18. A big 300+ pound butterball will be served

[Butterflylady]

23. Does McDonald's have turkey burgers?

300 lb. Butterball wound make a lot turkey burgers.

[judesedit]

19. Good one. But I don't believe a word they say

[kskiska]

20. Too ashamed to face his club members.

LOSER!

[monmouth4]

22. Most of the club members at MaL couldn't get into the other clubs in town, so no big loss there. LOL

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Lot of paper shredding and electronic deleting to be done.

[Cha]

26. Coward trumps are Afraid of Getting Protessted

for Insanity!

[Tribetime]

29. I think melanoma will sneak out the back door with Barron

[magicarpet]

31. Does Barron speak Russian ?

(A friend was inquiring ?)

[Tribetime]

33. That's the only one I feel sorry for, but who knows

How he will turn out in 10 yrs. Hopefully the complete opposite of his dad.

[Hekate]

39. I believe Ivana taught her 3 spawn her native tongue; probably Melania did the same for Barron nt

[JDC]

32. Hungryman turkey, right in front of his TV. All alone.

The exact Thanksgiving he deserves

[BumRushDaShow]

42. Yum!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. Are they paid up on the rent?

If not, let's get VP-elect Harris to start eviction proceedings in court.......


Oh, wait (hearing sound of moving truck backing in)........

[Grins]

35. A last and nostalgic dinner at government expense...

They will never be there again.

[Demonaut]

41. it's always at government expense no matter where he is

fiscally, it probably cheaper at the WH

[Wounded Bear]

37. Methinks those club fees at Merd-a-Lego will be going down soon...

[Hekate]

38. Damn. I was hoping responsible people would change the locks, and inventory...

...what belongs to us.

[Demonaut]

40. his manipulation of our democracy requires him to stay, he can't lose a day

[Retrograde]

43. What's he afraid of?

As much as I loathe him, he's still president until 1/20/21 at noon and entitled to live in the White House: what's he afraid of? Does he think the staff won't let him back in if he leaves? Does he think he's going to get booed if he goes to Florida? Does he think that having a snit in the White House makes him seem more presidential?

Maybe he just wants to stay and help Mel with the f(&%*#g Christmas decorations!
