The Latest: Trump to spend Thanksgiving at White House

[Arkansas Granny]

President Donald Trump and the first lady will be spending Thanksgiving at the White House instead of attending the annual dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

The first lady’s spokesperson, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed the plans in a “Holiday Scheduling Update” on Twitter on Tuesday evening.

Trump and his family typically spend the holiday in Palm Beach and have Thanksgiving dinner in a ballroom alongside dues-paying members who purchase tickets to attend.

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization did not respond to questions Tuesday about whether the Mar-a-Lago event would be held given the spike in coronavirus cases and pleas from public health officials for Americans to limit the number of people they socialize with indoors this holiday season to limit the spread.

I think he's afraid to leave for fear they'll change the locks while he's gone.

1. He should just got to Mar-a-Lago.

And just stay there for the rest of his term.

2. Maybe ticket demand is way down.

"alongside dues-paying members who purchase tickets to attend."

Or he doesn't actually want to face the dues-paying members...

3. Melania and Barron may decide something else

Who would want to spend Thanksgiving with that asshole?

[Maru Kitteh]

12. But Melania is an asshole, so

Birds of a feather, and all that.

4. In a suit or schlepping in in a bathrobe?

It seems he has no in between.


Sounds like a real glum time.

[Vinca]

5. He'll probably spend the day with Jr. strangling turkeys.

[CentralMass]

16. Choking the chicken.

6. ahhh, shaking hands and whispering in ears

having people lean in and say, "Hey, long time no see......What's new?"

that's why the southern castle is off limits

[Cosmocat]

7. He is embarrassed

Those MaraLago trips are all about trotting around like a rooster with everyone kissing his ass. Still has not reconciled what he is now that he has lost the election, does not want to be around people feeling sorry for him.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. Bingo! He's a loser, and he can't tolerate the looks of pity and condolences. Nt

[samnsara]

8. watch him not pardon the turkeys!

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. He'll probably be pardoning lots of turkeys between now and Jan. 20.

Just not ones that serve any earthly purpose.

9. I hope he's too listless and depressed to continue to break

and destroy our government.

Just go to bed, Trumpee, and wake up in mid January.

[Chainfire]

10. And this year the First Family's Thanksgiving bird will be a crow.

[Vogon_Glory]

11. The Trumps will dine at the White House while the

rest of us give Thanksgiving

[Dave Starsky]

13. He has the stink of Sad, Pathetic Loser on him.

Those good-ol'-boys in Mar-Ma-Lado will be ribbing him and giving him a raft of shit all night long for it, and he can't stand it.

[Johnny2X2X]

14. Trump is going to struggle mightily

His whole sense of self worth is built around bragging. His favorite part about being President was getting to brag about it. His favorite activity in the White House was to show people around it so he could brag about himself.

His ego can't take this, he'll still brag plenty, but no one will be listening and that will kill him.

18. I hope a million protesters keep him company. (nt)

[chriscan64]

19. One last chance to stick it to the White House staff.

"Your already pared down Thanksgiving plans are now cancelled so you can serve turkey to me and Rudy, you're welcome."

[dreamland]

20. Makes sense that we'd find the biggest turkey in the White House

[DFW]

21. And I'll celebrate my Thank Goodness when he leaves

Permanentlly, that is.
