Why did Trump go to Camp David ??

He hates the place. He has been there only once, it was reported. Why now?

We think of the Camp David Accord between Egypt and Israel, facilitated by Jimmy Carter. That was at Camp David.

Perhaps he is getting medical care there? That somehow doesn't sound plausible?

Perhaps he is having private phone calls? To long term friends? Russia, if you're listening? Maybe?

Or perhaps he needed a little rest from the rat-race? It must be exhausting to fight a war, at the same time, the debacle happens with the Reflecting Pool?

He really told a whopper this time!

He said vandals got into the pool and cut about 250 feet of the flag-blue lining. They also poisoned the water.

If nothing else, it is a distraction.

3. Better control over press access when he starts throwing ketchup and dirty Depends.

He had a prior aborted trip to Camp David during one of the prior cease fire agreements. I wonder if they are trying to keep him away from the media as much as possible during the first one or two news cycles of any new (surrender) agreement.
