The B52s going over there, the ships in the Mediterranean already, Kushner's "secret" trip to KSA a couple weeks ago... it looks pretty alarming

B-52s are always being moved. Our ships are always in the Mediterranean and Kushner has been all over the Middle East the last four years and no war has started.

For the rest of his life - he's a LOSER.

Contractors are re- doing the renovations his wife ordered! No place for a black tie Covid event. Plus..all this re-do and he can’t live there! He’s desperate..and desperate people do desperate things. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride unless someone puts the brakes on his destruction.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/politics/trump-returning-to-washington-early/index.html

(CNN)President Donald Trump is expected to return to Washington earlier than anticipated ahead of a planned disruption by Republicans when Congress meets next week to certify President-elect Joe Biden's win.

Trump is now slated to leave Palm Beach before his annual New Year's Eve party, even though guests had already gathered at his south Florida club and were told Trump would be in attendance, according to three people familiar with the matter. The President typically relishes appearing on the red carpet in front of the press and his friends, but is skipping the event altogether this year in what will be an unusual move.

In the President's daily public schedule for Thursday, the White House stated the President and first lady Melania Trump will leave Florida at 11 a.m. ET to return to the White House.

~snip~

He has been in an irritated mood during most of the trip and fumed about everything from the election outcome to first lady Melania Trump's renovations to his private quarters, according to multiple people who spoke with him.

At one point, Trump also said he was concerned Iran could retaliate in the coming days for the US drone strike that killed Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani, one year ago. A person speculated that could be a contributing factor in his early departure. Trump was at Mar-a-Lago when he ordered the Soleimani strike on January 3, 2020.
