President Trump said he would hold a "major meeting" Friday at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., that would be "all about" the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), but the Friday meeting apparently never took place.
Instead, the White House said in a release the following evening that Trump spent a portion of his Saturday focusing on the issue.
Trump had touted a "major meeting" on the VA during a press conference Friday with VA Secretary David Shulkin.
The president said that he was having a meeting Friday at his private club because "that seems to be the most convenient location. Everybody always wants to go to the Southern White House."
A White House official later told the Palm Beach Post that the meeting would not happen Friday night.
The event never appeared on Trump's official schedule for the day nor was it included on future schedules.
Trump was slated to have a meeting with Ike Perlmutter, the CEO of Marvel, on Saturday before dinner, which was closed press, according to pool reports. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was also expected to join Trump and first lady Melania Trump for dinner.
Not only do we have to pay for his a**to fly there almost every weekend, but for Melania to fly from NY, as well! If only his plane would crash! He's nothing but a liar!

I wish him no harm but he is a liar and an ass but his supporters don't care,they just want the destruction of America.
Oh what a shock....he went to Mar a Lago on our dime (to the tune of $3 million a trip) and played golf with his billionaire buddies, including Wilbur Ross who headed the Bank of Cyprus, a money laundering machine for Russian oligarchs. Maybe tRump and Wilbur are getting their 'stories' together ahead of next weeks Congressional hearings.
We all know that he is not coming to Florida to "work". That is simply a made up story to try to make him look Presidential. Donald Trump truly believes he is now KING and can do anything and everything he wants , with no consequences.
But the good side of this is, he can not get away with it for much longer. Every little dumb trick he pulls puts him that much closer to being fired. We have all worked with people like him, who get away with stuff for a while, but finally push it too far and the boss finally boots them to the curb.
WE are Donald Trump's bosses, he is OUR SERVANT, whether or not he realizes it. If he is not performing the way we want, it is our job to get rid of him. That is exactly what a lot of us are working toward right now, and what will happen. It just takes a little time to do something this monumental.
Nothing personal Donald, simply business ! (and we will give you a good reference for your next job)
President Trump held his first face-to-face meeting with representatives from prominent veterans groups on Friday, a step that community advocates called a productive and critical step in advancing the White House’s promises to veterans.
Quote:
It included top officials from 10 veterans groups and was billed as a listening session for the president, with no policy or legislative proposals presented to the community leaders.
Accountability was a highlighted topic at the meeting, as it was for Trump on the campaign trail. At one point, he promised to quickly fire any VA employee found committing criminal acts or workplace negligence, and if it violates federal employment policies, “they can sue me, I don’t care.”
OP needs to do better research. Politico is not credible.
Quote:
We’ve been asking for this meeting for a long time, and I think it was a great way to start a working relationship with this White House,” said Joe Chenelly, national executive director of AMVETS. “Both the president and vice president were very engaged on the issues and wanted to hear from us.”
