Trump to flee DC for Camp David this weekend after his supporters trashed the US Capitol in a riot

Source: Business Insider

President Donald Trump is making the last weekend getaway of his presidency with a trip to Camp David tomorrow, a White House official confirmed to Insider.

The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday implemented temporary flight restrictions over the Maryland presidential retreat, with the order indicating: "Temporary flight restrictions for VIP Movement." Similar flight restrictions are implemented when the president leaves Washington, DC as a security measure against a potential aerial attack.

Flight restrictions are scheduled to take effect on Friday at 3:30 p.m., hinting that the president may depart the White House in the late afternoon. The restrictions are scheduled to end at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Aircraft cannot fly under 18,000 feet while within a 10-nautical mile radius of Camp David as doing so would initiate a military response. Pilots violating a temporary flight restriction could be fined and/or lose their pilot licenses.

Just wondering in a wild-thinking way.

That fatass deserves to be vaporized completely in a nuclear blast, if anyone does.

Guard the windows, turn off the phone, and electronically jam his cell phone.

Stock up on KFC, Junk food and Adderall.
