Among other things, you might expect the SS to be there weeks ahead. If there is a security or protester issue, Trump may be catfishing the press.

formerly known as the White House Travel Office.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Office#Office_of_Scheduling_and_Advance

The person who would be running it is called the Assistant to the President and Director of Scheduling and Advance, but nobody is listed as holding that position. The Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Advance is George Gigicos. The Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Scheduling is also an unfilled position.

That could be part of the problem...

As the record shows, he couldn't even manage a piss-hole Casino - otherwise known as a license to make money. Like an illicit laundry where it pays to be a loser, the republican lost spectacularly in gambler-mobville.

Only the KGOP would see him as someone fit for command. Sad.

We used to say, "It's Obama's fault"as a joke, but since #45 is actually spitting this out every third sentence lately, it's become his default setting.

DUMB STUFF I GOTTA DO

From the Desk of Reince Priebus

For the G20 Conference:

X Arrange flight on Air Force One
X Make sure POTUS phone not enabled for international calling
X Tell POTUS phone enabled for international calling
X Arrange with Polish authorities for enthusiastic crowd
X Supply confederate flag for crowd (check with Bannon)
Make hotel reservations

Let's see: did I miss anything?

It is hell. but very funny.

No body knows who is supposed to do what, AND everybody wants to do as little as possible. Office hours and staff meetings always canceled, key figures are either incompetent or else vying for attention from higher ups.

naturally any good staff quit as soon as they could.
