Trump to no longer hold Cabinet meeting at Camp David

Source: The Hill

05/26/26 5:20 PM ET


President Trump announced a Cabinet meeting that had been scheduled at Camp David on Wednesday will no longer be held there because of bad weather.

Trump in a Truth Social post Tuesday said that “possible bad weather conditions” are postponing the Cabinet trip to the Maryland retreat and the meeting will instead take place at the White House where it’s been held during his second term and been largely on camera.

The White House indicated earlier Tuesday that Trump would be making a rare trip to Camp David with every member of his Cabinet, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who announced her resignation last week. The administration has a number of topics at hand to discuss, including a peace deal hanging in the balance on Iran as well as a host of domestic matters.

The group will talk about “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” a White House official told the New York Post. Iran is likely to be a main topic at the retreat, with tensions running high after the U.S. launched “defensive” strikes in southern Iran on Monday.

He can't be any further than a mile from Walter Reed for some un-acknowledged reason....

I read that a while ago, but I can't remember where. When he goes to Camp David it has to be by car ... so maybe transportation is the deciding factor? I don't know.

Not to mention that the pilots would need respiratory equipment to filter out the stench.

And by the end of the day on Wednesday the rain will have stopped and then the weather will be perfect
after that.

Trump has a severe medical problem that makes staying close to Walter Reed important.

Camp David is in Frederick County, MARYLAND, right under the box on the map that is labeled “Flash Flood.” It is right up against the Mason-Dixon Line.

The rain keeps coming!

Lots of showers out there on this Tuesday morning and will keep coming through from west to east for next several hours. Not constant rain but showery more often than not.

Realize many of us ready for a break (and it’s coming!) but we can use the rain!

What did that whole thing last, like 4 hours?

Imagine Biden had announced and then unannounced a Cabinet meeting at Camp David all on the same day. The cries of CHAOS from every journalist in America would power the sun for a generation.

Instead, tra la.

He'd take his claque with him because without people to praise him, he slides into rage an panic.

I think he fucked things up so badly in Iran that he's being isolated from the decision making process. I think they will praise him for making the decisions they make in his absence. It might even work, although the Iran situation is so completely fouled up that nothing much is going to work to straighten it out.

Where they all say nice things to him and tell him he's doing so much good for the country.

His ego needs boosting.
