According to the press pool, Air Force One arrived back in Washington, D.C. at 8:40 PM. Trump, however, did not deplane until 9:25 PM, 40 minutes after landing.

Asked why @POTUS on board so long, son-in-law & advisor Jared Kushner told press pool he was "working on something," but didn't elaborate.

Although Trump would not explain further his “meeting,” Twitter has it’s own ideas as to why Trump was so delayed.
He's watching Obama and fuming. Can't wait for the next tweetstorm.

Watching Obama pick up his Profile in Courage Award — something POTUS will never have — that and a genuine standing ovation

He was glued to TV & watching Obama's speech? Duh!

Former President Barack Obama is receiving the “Profile In Courage” Award at the JFK Center tonight. Chances are that our insecure President was hate-watching from the tarmac. Hopefully he enjoyed watching the ceremony; it’s likely that’s the closest Trump will come to getting a “Profile In Courage” Award of his own.
What do you think?
