Just like the royal families of yore, President Donald Trump has decided to temporarily flee to his winter residence rather than endure Washington, D.C.'s highs of 51, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday. Trump will travel to "the Winter White House," also known as his Mar-a-Lago resort, on Friday and stay for the entirety of the weekend.

Of course, the Winter White House is not to be confused with "White House North." Jeva Lange
