.@pbpost with the scoop again. @realDonaldTrump may skip the mother's day brunch at Mar-a-Lago, go to Camp David instead, according to FAA.



NEW: President Trump may be planning first trip to Camp David this weekend



NEW: President Trump may make first trip to Camp David this weekend

Kristina Webb - Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Updated4:26 p.m Monday, May 8, 2017

It appears President Donald Trump is planning his first visit to Camp David. ... The Federal Aviation Administration posted an advisory to pilots Monday afternoon that flight restrictions for “VIP movement” will be issued for the airspace around the famed presidential retreat from Friday through Sunday.

The president’s only public event scheduled for this weekend that has been released by the White House at this time is his keynote speech at Liberty University’s commencement on Saturday morning in Lynchburg, Va.
....

In the past, the Federal Aviation Administration has posted an advisory several days in advance of each of Trump’s seven trips as president to Mar-a-Lago. The notices, which warn pilots that temporary flight restrictions are forthcoming for an area, typically post no later than the Monday afternoon before the president is scheduled to arrive. Such an advisory has not yet been issued for Palm Beach.

The only FAA advisories for “VIP movement” — the category used for Trump’s travels — posted as of 4 p.m. Monday are for the president’s trip to Liberty on Saturday, and the one for the airspace over Camp David this weekend.

"Yea, Camp David is very rustic, it's nice, you'd like it. You know how long you'd like it? For about 30 minutes," Trump said.

It's close to where he has a speaking gig Saturday morning so that might be why plus he can then he can say he's actually stayed there but if he's staying the whole weekend I'll bet there's more to it.

Does anyone know if Melania and Barron are staying in NYC, joining him at Camp David or going to Mar a lago for Mother's Day?

I personally would be very comfortable at Camp David but I can't see Trump enjoying it without some major changes that I don't think he can do, can he?.

ETA: Maybe someone messed up communications and Trump meant he was going to "Camp David North" his golf course in NJ?

They each have more real 'class' in their little finger than the whole Trump Cabal and GOP put together.

Something of mine was hanging on the wall there 20 years ago. I hope Clinton took it with him, because 45 would probably have it taken down, not having the slightest clue what it is.

want to spend Mother's Day. It is completely opposite to everything she is. For whatever reason he is now choosing to dis her. He is despicable to the core. She must have called him a bad name and this is her punishment.

I went golfing with my dad one very hot northern Summer day so I'd definitely take a pass on doing so in Florida if my memory serves me right.
