Due to the shooting tragedies, his visit this week was postponed in order to go to El Paso and Dayton. It wasn’t going to be a rally but an invitation only event where the big name concerts and Broadway shows happen here. Most every VIP and politician in Florida was trying to get a ticket. The topic was Medicare reform. Even the popular Villagers for Trump club that has grown to over 2000 members in less than a year was only getting ten tickets. This surprise visit would have been only the second time a sitting president came to The Villages. Apparently, George W. Bush came during his second campaign and 20,000 showed up...must have been held out in the open as the polo field would be the only location here that could handle that size of crowd. Back then, The Villages had only about 50,000 living here. It is up to 130,000 and continues to grow by 5,000 each year...fastest growing town in the nation.

Oh what a shame. I’m sure the residents of El Paso and Dayton would have preferred he went to visit his rabid devotees in Florida too.

I can't believe out of 130,000 residents only 2000 have joined Villagers for Trump. Sad. How do you have invitation only tickets to a "surprise" visit?  |

SAD! But at least they’re alive to be disappointed. The same can’t be said for the 112 people already dead from mass shootings just in this year alone. And Trump was going to The Villages to participate in an event about Medicare? Was he going to talk about his proposed $845 billion in Medicare cuts?

When he eventually does come let us know how Medicare cuts discussion goes over with the spoiled seniors.

He probably should have skipped the visit to the cities where the shootings took place and instead gone to visit his minions in your town. At least there he wouldn't have looked like a total dumbass for bragging about the size of the crowds there.
And yea, I too am wondering what your crowd thinks of his administrations proposed cuts to Medicare. Or are ya'll so rich that you don't need no stinking Medicare and don't give a shit about those who do?

Yeah, I'm genuinely sad he chose to cancel the visit to rally his deplorables instead of the embarrassing debacle of his visits to El Paso and Dayton. I actually wish he would move to The Villages permanently. Then you could secede and become your own sovereign Trump nation and it would be a win for everyone.

That’s a shame. I would have been a good opportunity for a sinkhole to open in The Villages, reducing the despicable load on our planet by a very significant amount.

Something is bothering me.
*does the math in her head*
2000 out of 130,000 does not scream “popular” to me. At all. Thank goodness. YMMV.

That was a good call - visiting the towns with the shootings was much more important.

His deplorable will be there waiting for him. He needed to move quick to TX to get a photo op with a 2 month old orphaned baby; complete with a shit eating grin and his tiny thumb up. At least he kept it classy and did flash the white power sign.

How sad. That's very rude of him to cancel at the last minute and let everyone down. People have no manners these days! Hope you find something to occupy your day with to get over such a big disappointment.....a game of golf maybe!

That was a good call - visiting the towns with the shootings was much more important. For any other president, I'd agree but given Trump's utter lack of empathy and inability to not make everything about himself, I think he's better off at campaign rallies than pretending to comfort grieving families. |

I get what you are saying and agree that he is pretty famous for making things about himself (I am NOT a supporter of his) but I know that had he NOT gone to El Paso or Dayton, he would have been racked over the coals for not showing up. He made (or rather his people made) the right choice by choosing to go there instead of The Villages. |
