West Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) Has Several [View all]

Private charter jet companies based there. In fact, it's a very, very busy airport for private jets. So, who's flying in and out of PBI these days? We don't know. They don't use the main terminal. They don't go through the same security checkpoints, either.

It's a busy place, with rich folks and dignitaries coming and going on whatever schedule they wish. You don't see them come, and you don't see them go. A guy has to wonder if some of them aren't going to Mar-a-Lago on weekends. Could be anyone, really. International bigwigs or even unscrupulous characters.

Nobody tracks who comes and goes, really, or at least not publicly.

Plenty of limo services and private car services there, too. A guy could fly in, get picked up by a black car and go just about anywhere, anytime, and any day.

Now, you'd think we'd know who shows up at Mar-a-Lago, with all those Secret Service folks there and all, but Trump is the President. He can meet with whomever he wants at Mar-a-Lago and if he wants that kept as a secret, he can do that, too. He's the President. He's the boss of all those Secret Service folks. They know how to keep things quiet, and don't really talk to the press.

There's no log of visitors to Mar-a-Lago that will be made public. We don't know who goes there, or when, or when they leave.

So, ask yourself: Who is in all those private jets landing at PBI and where are they going? Sorry, you aren't going to find out. It's like, none of your business, really. A guy, for example, could fly into PBI, catch a car to Mar-a-Lago, and check into one of the guest suites there on, say Thursday, and then leave on, say, Monday afternoon, and never be seen at the place. Meetings could take place.

I'm just saying...perhaps those weekend jaunts to Mar-a-Lago involve more than golf and relaxation for The Donald. We'll never know, though.
