President Donald Trump's fans may have to settle for partying with a cardboard cutout of Trump that stands in Mar-a-Lago at the entrance to the Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom in Palm Beach, Florida. That's because instead of flying down to Florida as scheduled on Friday afternoon, Trump's trip was rescheduled, and he was tweeting about the anniversary "present" that Trump claims opponents gave him in the form of a government shutdown, reports Politico.
Therefore, instead of Trump flying to his Florida "Winter White House" on Friday, the president was still at the real White House in D.C. on Saturday, January 20. The Mar-a-Lago party was expected to feel Trump's presence Saturday evening to celebrate the one-year mark as President Donald Trump. According to the Palm Beach Post, Trump may just make it to Florida in time for his party anyway. The publication noted the FAA's new pilot alert warned of possible "VIP movement" from 2 p.m. on Saturday to 5 p.m. on Sunday, so Trump could still get away - even though that alert was issued at 8 p.m. on Friday.
However, time - and the Mar-a-Lago geo-tagging location on Instagram - will tell if Trump makes it to his party. According to author Joy Reid in the below Twitter tweet, a GOP source relayed the notion that Trump is allegedly "furious" - not only about the government shutdown - but the fact that such a political move could mess up his travel plans to party at Mar-a-Lago.
