Trump family makes first visit to Camp David.

"If and when they are at Camp David, the place will be stocked with his favorites, those Keebler Vienna Fingers cookies, and better have the Lay's potato chips," he said, adding that the Secret Service will also have probably checked out the nearest Kentucky Fried Chicken locations, just in case POTUS gets a craving. "You have to figure that out. They'll map, know, target and analyze how to get in and get out of at least three locations," he said, adding that staff got used to fast food runs during Bill Clinton's visits.

(For the record, there's a KFC in Thurmont that's open until midnight on Saturdays, and one just over the border in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, about a 25-minute drive from Camp David.)

Outside of easy access to fried chicken, Trump could also get to know Camp David for its security purposes; it's a fully activated government safe zone, just a 20-minute Marine One helicopter ride from the South Lawn of the White House.'>>>

Barron's first weekend in the area. Hope he enjoys something about it, at least.

Everything will appear very different to him now, I'm sure.

she may hate the White House but I can't imagine her enjoying the woods around Camp David. Unless she takes Donnie two Scoops for a hike and loses him in them.

I can visualize her ordering someone else to prepare food for her and Barron.

I think he's going to Camp David due to criticism about the amount of money it costs us for him to visit a Trump property.
