Trump Claims Credit For “Smooth” Thanksgiving Traffic

The Washington Examiner reports:

President Trump said Wednesday millions of Americans are encountering smooth roads and airports on the busiest travel day of the year under his watch. The president is currently at his Florida property, the Mar-a-Lago, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Trump golfed Wednesday, and had a “full schedule of meetings and phone calls,” White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters told reporters.

51 Million American to travel this weekend – highest number in twelve years (AAA). Traffic and airports are running very smoothly! @FoxNews
