(82,849 posts)Quick weekend trip, but most of Trump's time away from the White House is spent at his own resorts. Camp David doesn't put money into Trump's pocket. Interesting that Camp David, which I would consider neutral territory, is the site for this little administrative confab.

(6,377 posts)I don't think it's because Trump is considering stepping away, but they need to figure out how the hell they're going to deal with a very much self-inflicted crisis.
I think they just realized this isn't going away.

I'm guessing its their attempt at an emergency meeting to try to do damage control in regards to Trump's comments yesterday.

Personally, I think they are wanting to do some damage control away from the public or they are prepping for something Mueller-related.

That sounds like a smoke screen for something else to me.
