Not that it makes any sense, but is it possible that Trump is off

on a plane to get a photo opportunity in the Middle East, to try to win public opinion?

The only reason I might question if this is even feasible, because he has to come back which risks turning into a target.

And on Easter? He'll lead services with Kegsbreath and the religious right will be in love with him again, if they ever weren't.

It's not going to help in this case.
