Curious that he's doing this. Other articles claiming that Pence has cleared his upcoming schedule. I sure hope Trump isn't saying "To hell with this s**t!" and thinking about leaving. With the assault he's been under, who would put up with all of it if they didn't have to?

Then again, could be fake news and my own paranoia...

Outside the beltway and the media, has anyone experienced “enormous controversy?”

He’s coming back because Trump is going to resign.

CNN uses this type of lede template all the time:

(Current-event-occurs) Amid Trump Controversy
or
(Current-event-occurs) Amid Trump Scandal

They just participate in creating a controversy, then fill in the blank as other events occur. The “Current-event-occurs” phrase will tend to change at intervals. But whatever is happening, it always happens “Amid Trump Controversy/Scandal”.

Trump won't resign. If there is a move against Trump, it would be a 25th Amendment move, and Pence would be needed to make it happen.

But I don't see that in the cards.

Trump wouldn’t surrender. He’ll get re-elected and tell his critics to go f—k themselves.

President Trump just went back to Bedminster, NJ today. Based on what I’ve seen from him in the last few days, I’d say he has given this whole Charlottesville story almost no attention at all. LOL.

Many days in advance, everybody knew exactly how Saturday would play out.

Why was Trump and the entire White House staff so unprepared?
Even if you don’t know exactly how it will play out, you prepare in detail PLAN A, PLAN B, PLAN C, etc.

To me, his lack of preparation was worse than the words or lack of words that came out of his mouth.

Would you care to post some links to your posts here on FreeRepublic where YOU told everyone how Saturday would play out?

I did hear on Fox Business that Pence was coming back to attend a summit at Camp David regarding the North Korea situation.
Also, President Trump has a rally scheduled for Phoenix on Tuesday where he is expected to endorse Kelli Ward as a primary challenger to Flake. He may speak to a pardon for Sheriff Joe Arpaio as well.
Hope all fears are misplaced.
God Bless our great President Trump and guide him through the next 7 and a half years!!!

trump told the truth on purpose. it was exactly these kinds of statements that got him elected, and the reaction of the GOPe-Democrat-Enemedia Complex was exactly the same then: “trump is a white-supremacist, racist, KKK minion. etc.”, only THIS time around trump permanently knocked them off of their “russian conspiracy” meme; after this LATEST “trump is a racist” attack dies down, it’s doubtful the enemedia will try to revive the dying embers of the “russian conspiracy”.

as usual, trump is playing the enemedia like a fiddle.

Check to see if anybody is betting on the Preakness Pool and if ECOMCON is being mentioned.
