Open Thread: Would You Fly to Dulles Wearing Golf Shoes?
[NB: check the byline, thanks. /~Rayne]
I’m throwing up a post for an open thread because community members are restless and twitchy tonight and appear to need an outlet.
Oddly enough, there’s a current event about which folks can speculate and yammer to their hearts’ content:
Something weird is going on. No one – and I mean no one – knows why Donald has arrived in DC tonight, looking disheveled in golf clothes. It could be something totally inconsequential, but something tells me it’s not.

Apparently Trump was driven to the NJ airport from Bedminster and then flew to Dulles in Washington DC. The photo George Conway mentions was allegedly taken at a distance at Dulles.
Those look like USG plates. Usually USSS protective details use cars with state license plates to drive protectees around. Odd. https://t.co/EuRHYbZ3JI

I suspect a fair amount of snark about this episode may be unleashed.

But did Goldfinger fly in his golf shoes, Michael?
ADDER – 11:59 PM:
There’s video here of his motorcade headed to the airport at Morristown NJ. Sandi Bachom who shares this video has filmed a lot of material over the years about Trump.
An eagle eye friend captured this. I’ve seen a lot of Trump motorcades and they never move that fast with that many vehicles flashing lights looks like an emergency https://t.co/iXLolNMvH1

This is a short video of Trump’s arrival at Dulles. There are suitcases unloaded and shifted to another vehicle. Trump is dressed far more casually than he usually is when traveling.

There have been folks who’ve speculated Trump may have need health care at Walter Reed, but others have observed he wasn’t headed in that direction.
It’s a mystery; Trump rarely does anything without big fanfare because he needs narcissistic supply.
Okay, have at it. Do your worst in this thread. Do NOT pollute other threads with idle chatter about whatever this is.
Do keep in mind in the age of social media-borne influence operations this could be a put-on of some sort.
