FORT DRUM, N.Y. (WCAX) President Trump is visiting New York's North Country today as part of a trip to Fort Drum.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik in a tweet invited the president to Fort Drum last week. The past three presidents have all visited the post.

As part of the visit, the president will sign a defense spending bill. No other stops are listed in in itinerary.

Air Force One is expected to land at 1 p.m. in Morristown. The President will then head to Wheeler-Sack Army Air Field in Fort Drum.

Our Kelly O'Brien will have the latest on the president's visit tonight on the Channel 3 News from 5-7 p.m.

What are they protesting now? “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, we want to keep America the shithole Saint Barak of Nairobi left behind”.

Local news said he would be flying to Utica for a fund raiser for the Congressman in that district?

Yes he is. There have been several threads about it.

Protestors have got to shipped in from NY City, the few that probably are there.

Fort Drum and Adirondacks are military, farmers, and people who like to live in the woods. I’ve never met any pussy-hat wearing feminists or ANTIFA types in the mountains there.

Trump should visit San Fancisco once a month, just for the awesome news stories that would come out of it. And maybe it could bankrupt the city. :)

If the parasite/thug class ever again elects someone as evil, corrupt, and anti-American as Obama, I will protest full time they way they are doing for a real president. Generally productive Americans can’t do this the way that democrats living on welfare or in Mommy’s basement do, but I’m retired. I have as much spare time as the useless socialists have.

I like Elise Stefanik. Watched her during one of the hearings. Impressive and to the point.

The charter buses just arrived and everyone was handed their box lunch, professionally made sign and mimeographed list of approved chants.

The protesters can also come from Syracuse University.

May the Communism/Socialism of the protesters NOT be able to be hidden by the Mainstream Media!

Just once, I would love to have an announcement put out that PDJT is going to have an event somewhere, so these idiot protesters can organize and march on the location, only to find out that the event is somewhere completely different.

‘antifa punked by President Trump’ has a nice ring to it.

Ithaca’s not that far south of Syracuse, so no doubt there will be a crowd coming up from there as well.

GMTA! That would be awesome!

Then the MSM would claim that Trump trolling them like that is racist and anti-free speech.

If I was a gazillionaire (in other words had the financial resource) I would have someone taking photo of every “protester” and setting up a web page where I would list all the protest they attended.

Further I would (legally) look into who is paying for these protest and expose them as well.

I suspect what we would find is a very small well financed organization behind most of these protest.

I froze my butt off at Camp Drum in Jan ‘82. We went up there from Ft Campbell and weren’t issued winter gear until a week after we arrived. The barracks were the first time I ever shoveled coal into a furnace.
