Like on his previous visits, he'll be in town very briefly for a fundraiser with high-dollar donors. While details of the visit are being kept under wraps so far, Westsiders should brace for potential motorcade traffic jams in the late afternoon. According to an unconfirmed report by TMZ, the fundraiser will be held at the Beverly Hills home of health care executive Lee Samson. The president is expected to fly into the Los Angeles International Airport Friday afternoon after touring the border in Calexico to view the wall. This will be the president's first visit to the state since he threatened to divert California wildfire emergency recovery funding for building the border wall. The president has no plans to linger in California, however. He'll leave Friday night and head for Las Vegas, where he is scheduled to peak Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition's Annual Leadership Meeting.<doc-sep>President Trump embarked Friday on his third trip to California since entering the White House, a day after backing off his latest threat to seal off the border between Mexico and the United States. Trump had been threatening to close the border for a week, leading some to believe he would use Friday’s visit to a section of fencing in Calexico to announce at least a partial closure. After inspecting the wall at the Calexico-Mexicali border, Trump flew on to Los Angeles, where he attended a private fundraising event and had dinner with his son Eric at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf course.

At 10:12 p.m. Air Force One was departing on the runway headed for Las Vegas. Protesters are few as President Trump arrives at his golf club Gina Gualeni was on her way home when she saw about a dozen supporters gathered outside the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes. So she made an anti-Trump sign and headed out with her daughter. “I couldn’t just drive by and do nothing,” Gualeni, 50, said. “These are the people who I’m sick of.” Gualeni said she was surprised that she didn’t see any other protesters. “I think people are getting tired,” she said. Adriana Barba of West Carson was heckled by Trump supporters as she stood alone across the street holding a sign that read, “Not my president.” “I was hoping there would be more protesters — more than just me — because there’s safety in numbers,” Barba, 29, said. Advertisement Barba said Trump’s visit was too close to home. She looked on as his supporters danced with American flags in the middle of Palos Verdes Drive. “I needed to at least do something by coming here,” Barba said. “I don’t have that much political pull or lobbying power — at least not yet — so this is step one.” A crowd of about 50 supporters of President Trump clapped and cheered as Marine One circled the golf club about 7:45 p.m. As the crowd started to disperse, supporters broke into chants of “U.S.A.” Advertisement 8:50 p.m. | Alexa Díaz Adriana Barba of West Carson was heckled by Trump supporters as she stood alone across the street holding a sign that read, “Not my president.” (Alexa Díaz / Los Angeles Times) Angry Angelenos rant about Trump traffic as the president makes his way through L.A. Residents in some neighborhoods, including Santa Monica, lined the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the president as he made his way through West Los Angeles. And in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump supporters got wind that Trump would visit his golf course to have dinner with his son. Virginia Padilla, 71, waved two American flags outside Trump National Golf Course. “The honks are hopeful because California is so liberal,” Padilla said of the honking cars passing by. “We’re sinking. If we were a ship, we would have already gone under. We’re praying for reelection.” Advertisement Virginia Padilla waves an American flag proudly as she awaits Trump’s arrival in Rancho Palos Verdes. (Alexa Diaz / Los Angeles Times) Padilla said Secret Service agents on the property told her that Trump’s helicopter would land on the side of the club opposite from the main road, out of sight to the public. She has seen Trump in person three times before — twice at the golf club, and once in L.A. Harbor, before he was elected, when he came right up to her and signed her “Make America Great Again” sign, she said. Wendy Yen, 73, lives across the street from the golf club and joined the group of about a dozen supporters eagerly awaiting Trump. “The closest I’ve ever been to Trump is the television,” Yen said. Advertisement Yen, once a Democrat, said that if anyone wasn’t a supporter of Trump before, they should be after seeing what he has done for the economy and for illegal immigration. She said she thinks it’s important to show her support of Trump because conservatives often are attacked. “We can’t say anything [in public], but we’re just going to vote,” Yen said. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, residents were dreading Trump’s arrival Friday afternoon, some because of his political agenda and many for the chockablock traffic he was expected to generate as he made his way through the city. Angelenos vented their anger on social media, declaring that the president was unwelcome in liberal L.A. Advertisement One user said, “Oh yeah … thanks for the extra traffic.

It’s pretty sharp up top, too. If you want to climb that you deserve whatever you can get.” After the brief visit, Trump was scheduled to make his way to Beverly Hills for a fundraising event in a private home.

LOS ANGELES — President Donald Trump returns to California on Friday for a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border and a fundraiser in Los Angeles as the state's Republican Party struggles on many fronts. "The Republican Party has been a bad brand name in California politics for a decade, and I think Donald Trump made it a toxic brand," said Thad Kousser, political science chair at the University of California, San Diego. "The clearest flash point for this is in immigration and also the environment." For one, Republicans lost seven seats in the 2018 congressional midterm elections and the GOP has seen its voter registration decline in historic strongholds of the state, including Orange County — once considered a bastion of conservatism. Also, some Republican House incumbents and challengers in the recent midterms sought to distance themselves from Trump on immigration and offshore oil drilling, among other issues. But the state GOP is plotting a comeback in 2020, even using the Green New Deal against Democrats. "California Republicans are conflicted about Trump," said Dan Schnur, a professor of political communications at the University of Southern California and a former longtime GOP strategist who is now an independent. "He still has a very strong and very committed core base of support here. But a lot of elected officeholders are nervous about him because he's so unpopular here." A poll conducted last month by the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonpartisan think tank, showed only 29 percent of California adults approve of Trump's job performance as president. Yet among California Republicans, the PPIC polling showed Trump enjoys about 75 percent support. That said, just 27 percent of independents and a mere 7 percent of Democrats approve of how the GOP president is handling his job. "We support the president and are glad he's coming to Los Angeles," said Eric Early, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Republican Party. "We have lots of policies of the president's that we support." Still, the anti-Trump vote in 2018 also may have helped Democrats secure a supermajority in both houses of the state Legislature. As of Feb. 10, only 23.5 percent of California registered voters were Republican, down from 26 percent just before Trump was elected president. Those registered as "no party preference" is 28 percent, surpassing the GOP and second to Democrats' 43 percent. "I don't see a path to the numbers coming back to California until Trump is out of office," said Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant who served in the administration of former California GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stutzman said Trump represents "everything that's opposite" to broaden the party, including being able to reach voters who are younger and more ethnically diverse. On Friday, Trump is expected to be in the LA area for a fundraiser where dinner is $15,000 per person or $50,000 for the chance to get a picture with the president. There's also $150,000 tickets for those with deep pockets to be part of the roundtable at the private event, NBC Los Angeles reported Tuesday. Prior to the fundraiser, Trump is scheduled to visit Calexico, a town about 120 miles east of San Diego to see a new 30-foot-tall section of the border wall. The visit comes after Trump threatened on Twitter to shut down the entire U.S.-Mexico border due to alleged immigration "loopholes" he wants Congress to fix. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1113437257493561344 "Not everybody is happy with everything he does on Twitter, but the actions speak dramatically louder than words," said Shawn Steel, the state's Republican National Committee member. Immigration is a hot-button issue in California that divides the electorate like few others. With a population of nearly 40 million people, California has more than 10 million foreign-born residents — more than any other state. "Most Californians believe that immigrants are a benefit to the state," said Mark Baldassare, president and CEO of the PPIC. "Californians have been against building a wall, and in our latest poll most Californians were opposed to the president calling a national emergency in order to build a wall." Trump has taken a swipe several times as president against California Democratic governors, first Jerry Brown and more recently "grandstanding" Gavin Newsom for asylum shelters and scaling back the state's "so-called Fast Train, which is $Billions over budget & in total disarray." Trump also threatened to cut off funding for wildfire relief in the state.
