President Trump's advisors are reportedly talking about if he will visit the area of the Florida high school shooting this weekend.

According to a reporter from NBC News, White House advisers are discussing whether Trump would go to the area — which is about 40 miles from Mar-a-Lago — when he is in Florida.




At least 17 people were killed and more were wounded after a shooting broke out Wednesday at a high school in Florida.

President Trump on Wednesday offered his condolences in the wake of the deadly shooting.

UPDATE:

Trump says he plans to visit Parkland, Florida after school shooting

By LOUIS NELSON 02/15/2018 07:58 AM EST Updated 02/15/2018 09:25 AM EST

UPDATE 11:35 a.m.:

President Donald Trump said Thursday he is planning a visit to the Florida town where a gunman opened fire on students and staffers, killing 17 and injuring several others.

“We comfort the grieving and the wounded and we hurt for the entire community in Parkland, Florida," Trump said in his first public appearance since the shooting.

“We are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health," he said, without directly mentioning the controversial debate over gun control.

He couldn't do it in a public setting, it would have to be a totally controlled setting or it would turn out badly for him.

Porn star Stormy Daniels gives cringe-worthy account of affair with Trump in new excerpts from 2011 interview (New York Daily News)
Brett ClarksonBrett ClarksonContact ReporterSun Sentinel


Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claimed to have had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006, is bringing her “Make America Horny Again” strip-club tour to West Palm Beach, according to media reports.

Not only that — Daniels will be performing at the strip club down the street from the Trump-owned golf course that the president routinely plays at when he visits South Florida, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is slated to perform four shows at the Ultra Gentleman’s Club in West Palm Beach on April 13 and 14, WPLG,-Ch. 10 reported.

The strip club, formerly known as T’s Lounge, is a few blocks north on Congress Avenue from the eastern boundary of the Trump International Golf Club. The main entrance to the club is on Summit Boulevard, and from there it’s a 4-minute drive to Ultra.
President Donald Trump to visit Orlando before spending weekend at Mar-a-Lago, advisory suggests

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal published in January, Trump’s personal lawyer paid her $130,000 in 2016 so that she would deny having had an affair with Trump.

In a no-holds-barred 2011 interview with In Touch Weekly magazine, Daniels described the alleged 2006 affair...........................

there is zero chance that such an appearance will reflect well on him. He is incapable of empathy. He is an inarticulate oaf. I can guarantee that he will say all of the wrong things and strike the most inappropriate tone possible with his remarks. Don't hide this from public view. Expose him front and center while the world is watching. Lather, rinse, repeat.....it WILL sink in to all but the densest of heads.

His orange hate filled puss has no place at this grief stricken school where so many were killed because he and his ilk care more for the NRA's huge political bribes than they do for the lives of or children. Plus, you can pretty much bet he's going to try and pin this on liberals, lying his ass off like usual, when the killer wore one of his MAGA hats on social media and hated immigrants and Muslims. In other words, he's another rw killer hater so drumpf will just lie and most of the media will just go along and not report that the killer is a trumper, just like the guy in Las Vegas.

Hair Furor totally disgusts me. Every move he makes, every breath he takes, he is hurting us.

He can get down on his FUCKING KNEES and scrub the blood from the hallways and classrooms.

IMHO the bigger question is not "will he visit the site" - where he can't do anything constructive anyway - but "why is he expected to be in Florida this weekend in the first place?"

They’re going to dedicate the next printing of the DSM-5 to Donald Trump for being the first president to suffer from everything in it at the same time. The last thing Florida needs is this dangerous maniac running around talking about locking up the mentally ill.
