Haberman thinks Trump may slip out, shutdown or not, for the Log-O-Merde New Years party.
Trump may skip his NYE party to avoid uncomfortable questions during shutdown: Maggie Haberman
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/trump-may-skip-nye-party-avoid-uncomfortable-questions-shutdown-maggie-haberman/
Melania Trump has already returned to Mar-A-Lago, and Haberman thinks the president will likely follow—unless he wants to dodge uncomfortable questions there.
“My guess has always been that he will likely end up in Florida, but he has said to a number of people that he doesn’t think he can do that given the shutdown,” she said. “They’ve got that big New Year’s Eve party every year at Mar-A-Lago that he really likes going to. I think there is some other event that’s happening there a few days later that he really was looking forward to going to. He was looking forward to this trip.”
But while Mar-A-Lago “has always been where he seems the happiest and the most contented,” Haberman says the shutdown has spoiled that.
“I think he has been looking forward to it less in recent weeks because it’s going to mean a ton of glad-handing, and interfacing, and answering questions he doesn’t necessarily know the answer to,” she said.
