With a government shutdown looming, President Donald Trump is planning to delay his weekend trip to Mar-a-Lago until Congress passes a stopgap spending measure, according to a White House official.
The official said the president will now likely leave for his private Florida club on Saturday. The president is expected to attend a celebration at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night to mark the one-year anniversary of his inauguration.
Trump was scheduled to depart for Mar-a-Lago late on Friday afternoon.

(10,107 posts)If it looks like a poor turn out, he now has an excuse to cancel. He is needed in Washington to save the world.
If it is a sell out, he will suddenly find time and reason to go. Washington is so dysfunctional and he has been working so hard he needs a break (...and to pocket that money and get some pics with wealthy well dressed people willing to suck up on camera).

The media will declare him a hero no doubt when they finally come to the inevitable solution.
