and a fraud. Any numbers from pollsters are not to be believed. There are so very few actual supporters, that if not for gerrymandering, fake votes, Russian interference and Dem voter suppression, Trump would not have won.

He needs an atlas. Didn't he say something equally stupid about Puerto Rico being an island last year during the hurricane?

When he came to San Diego a month ago to view the wall prototypes (really a poor photo op) I wanted to call him every 4 and 5 letter word in the book but the news cameras were there so I could only yell "Booooooo" as he passed our group.

and he said they were growing weary of the angry crowds wherever tRump goes, to include the daily angry throngs at the White House.
Not fun for him. Waaah.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was on the island just off shore. It used to be. Submarine refueling station. Oprah tried to buy it but the owner said no. His dog has its own menu on the restaurant there.

Stupid people who voted for him really believed he would do something for them and instead he's costing the taxpayers money every time he has one of these "events".

I can't even imagine how many people in Key West really want him there, or is he meeting with some Ruskies again?

or if it's because of genuine safety concerns. If there were only two cars in the motorcade, would someone try something? Maybe it's a little bit of both. The secret service knows how hated he is, but they tell him a big motorcade will make him look important.

BTW Key West is a wonderful and beautiful place, he should not ever go there, he makes everything around him ugly.

Used to live there. So lovely and so tolerant! It was many years ago, around '98, but the church org used to sponsor the holiday parade. They didnt want to let a LGBT float in, so the city denied their permit and hosted the parade under the city of Key West.

by stating this proves the nation needs "the wall",
despite the fact that the Keys are islands, which are, by definition, surrounded by water.
