ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDSSpeaking Wednesday from the grounds of the lavish tropical estate where he plans to spend much of his downtime while in office, Donald Trump unveiled a new presidential retreat he hopes will allow him to escape from the grueling pace of life at Mar-a-Lago.
With its sunny climate, secluded setting, and luxurious accommodations, the 45-acre Caribbean hideaway known as Isola Vistawhich sits on a pristine white-sand beach along the island of St. Thomas southern coastwill reportedly serve as a haven where the president can find respite from his five-star Palm Beach, FL resort and its many day-to-day pressures.
After a while, all that time spent at Mar-a-Lago starts to take a toll, Trump said of the relentless routine of recreation and extravagance he experiences at his oceanfront Florida club. Im there so much that sometimes I just need to get away and clear my head. Here in St. Thomas Ill have a place where I can simply relax and, for a little while at least, forget about all those headaches I left behind in Palm Beach.
Added the president, A few days in the Caribbean should be all I need to feel refreshed and ready to get right back to the usual grind of Mar-a-Lago.

somewhere in a large or small plane, whether a valet, waiter, window washer, Kushner, his wife etc. just might be going to another island bank, that someone might have a bank account there under a fake name to avoid paying taxes on. If someone meets with trump and then flies somewhere even for a few hours, it could be to a bank that's considered outside the United States. Why would trump give such an easy, informative and Nice interview to the press unless a diversion?
