Breitbart CA: The Los Angeles Times points out an odd bit of presidential trivia as 2017 comes to a close: President Donald Trump could become the first president since Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower not to visit the State of California in his first full year in office.
The Times reports:
Trump is about to become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower 64 years ago to skip a visit to California during his first calendar year in office. And he doesn’t appear to have any plans to take Air Force One to the country’s most populous and economically powerful state before he marks his first full year in office Jan. 20.
Even past presidents who, like Trump, didn’t win the state’s electoral votes made it a destination, if only for California’s allure as the Golden State of campaign cash.
The Times notes that California might be a problematic destination for Trump in particular because the state has declared itself to be “ground zero” for the so-called “Resistance” to his presidency. State politicians have sued the administration over almost all of its major policies, and thousands of activists have organized regular protests against Trump in the Golden State, even taking over Hollywood’s vaunted Gay Pride festival for the purpose. read more
The President is not one to waste time.
Doesn’t need to visit. He lives in their heads 24/7.
I am not the President but I play one on the internet and I didn’t go there either!
Who the F would want to go there? Other than illegals….
Of course not, we don’t even have an embassy there.
He could fly over in a B-52. Just sayin’ . . . (do they still make B-52s?)
I live here in a county that voted for Trump. Why should he visit this State when they hate his guts for the most part. He doesn’t like bad press and that’s all he’s ever gotten here in California is bad press. So, I rather he stay away and work his magic on ways to *uck Jerry Brown over and those who did not vote for him. He’s not giving LA $2 million dollars in grants to hire more police officers to disobey federal law. Now Jerry Brown is asking for billions due to the fires here in California. Trump knows that money will be spent every where else BUT on fire victims. I wonder how many liberals got their house burned down? End of rant. GO TRUMP! WE LOVE YOU!
@Goldenfoxx, you are correct. Why would Trump visit CA and help their economy (all the ancillary benefits of having a head of state visit)? They think they can do what they want and not be a part of the country to which they belong. They want 49 states to bail them out so they can waste their money on illegal invaders.
Now that President Trump has proven that he meant what he said, they are on their own. Maybe they will grow up…nah.
Wall it off!
“Don’t swim in a cesspool.”
Good advice.
izlamo delenda est …
What stupid stunt will they pull when he lands there?
A subpoena?
An arrest?
Why give them free publicity?
Yea, California. I wouldn’t give them any money either, for police or anything else they want. Money squandered on a train to nowhere to move nobody and police that will do “Symbolic Arrest” and even ask where you want it to happen so you get the press coverage you want. Ass Clowns!

There are 50 states. I imagine there are quite a few he didn’t visit in 2017. Typical of Calif to think it/they are “special”, and better than everyone else.
Smart man – he is actually doing Southern Caifornia a favor. Obama used to visit SoCal, even the liberals hated it because the Presidential motorcade would snarl traffic for hours. And Obama was such an egotist, he once scheduled a fundraiser in Beverly Hills for the middle of rush hour.
Any visit by Trump would be worse because liberals are such spoiled children that they would stand on the freeways to protest a President who has shown himself to be even-handed, and at times beneficial to California. Trump doesn’t need the aggravation, a visit to California would accomplish nothing, and ordinary citizens would appreciate not having the hassle.
Is there some kinda shot they can give President Trump so that IF HE goes to California, his brain won’t rot? Conservative Californians seemed to have built up an immunity so we don’t have to worry about them. Liberal Californians, on the other hand, are spreading their brain rot disease everywhere they go. Can’t tell you how much damage they’ve caused the western side of Oregon. Would hate to see that happen to Washington D.C. or Mar-a-Lago.
No Billy, sadly, they don’t still make B-52s. But they’re being incrementally upgraded on a regular basis. She may have a few wrinkles but dang near every bone in her body has been replaced. Would love to see her with 4 high bypass engines. But, have to agree with those in the know: Better to invest in B-2 replacement.
Northern California is some beautiful country, but the rest of it could slide off into the ocean for all I care.
If he does visit, I hope he visits the northern part that wants to dump CA.
Most of my family lives in Butte County. A few scattered elsewhere. I left CA in 1979 and have only been back to visit. Last visit was in 2009 right before Mom died.
California is like the Eminem of US States. Kind of a has-been that has snarky responses ready to go if Trump ever pays attention to it.
He can come and visit us in the Great State of Jefferson, in the true northern part of California. We voted for him.
Maybe he can help us in our quest to get away from the rest of the crazies in lower part of the state.
No disrespect to those of you still living in enemy territory–I did it for years, and still have family there–but I’d be happy if President Trump never set foot in California for the entire eight years of his presidency.
That would be like saying he’s the first vampire since Dracula not to take a walk outside on a sunny day!
If he had gone there they would have accused him of starting the fires.
He has no business dealings in CA, there’s no reason to go there. He’s POTUS, they need to come to him now.
Winning!
Did he visit Chitcongo?
Maybe he’s simply avoiding liberal shitholes.
