Trump's 'rare trip' to secluded retreat after hospital trip sparks speculation

President Donald Trump is set to make a “rare trip” on Wednesday to the secluded presidential retreat Camp David in Maryland, the timing of which fueled speculation among onlookers.


“Trump Cabinet meetings are basically somewhere between a pep rally and a cult worship ceremony,” wrote writer and political analyst Arieh Kovler Tuesday in a social media post on X. “They're completely devoid of content. So why move it to Camp David?”

According to the Post, the “rare trip” to Camp David – the second such visit of his second term – will include all of the president’s top officials, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The meeting comes amid the Trump administration’s ongoing – and strained – peace talks with Tehran, as well as directly after the president’s third hospital visit in 13 months.

JD would have to accept the job but then he can immediately turn it over to F45's chosen one.

For the press to gain access there?

Easier to keep him from wandering off on his own?

And yes, probably to figure out who will become acting president for the next few months.*


*Because I think whomever it is could be impeached real soon thereafter.

I know you don't want him either, but take him off our hands and I will go to St. Roses and put a quarter in the collection basked this Sunday.

Paying for it with that US Treasury Debit Card he's got in his pocket. Camp David surely blows chunks for him. I'd lay money he'll destroy it because 'it's old, ugly and a stain on the US" or some BS.

Not that this is pertinent, but I used to go hunting for them all the way up to the fences around Camp David.

No Iranian involvement.

Camp David visit, something he’s rarely done. And a fourth time seeing his doctor(s) just since his second term started.

And for me, at least, it’s the constant lying, side-stepping, tall-tale-telling. I’m never sure WHEN he’s actually being truthful.

And I’m starting to worry about all the Presidential papers - that, as POTUS, he would have access to. As much access as he wants.
- Are they gonna be kept safe and secure?
- do we know where they are?
- do we know where ALL the papers and documents and memos and other such stuff are?
- has this been verified by people we can count on being truthful?
- what kind of access does the Donald have to any/all of it?

And the more I think of it, the more I CAN think of more.

When you buy a lottery ticket with a potentially huge payout and you spend the time before the drawing imaging what you will do with all the money. Of course you never actually win the lottery.

Not for the 'war'. For trying to figure out what to do and to plan in the event of their losses in the midterms.

They will be gauging the midterm results as to when they are going to go 'full dictator' and retreat to some bunker somewhere so that they can start the final purge of anyone who doesn't want a spoiled little rich boy as a leader.

Call me insane. I no longer care. We will see who is right around January/February, won't we?

(There is also the thought that they are trying to get him away from the public because of some reason or another. That could also be what is going in. Kind of a 'Patterns Of Force' thing.)
