cnn's jason carroll is standing by in north charleston, south carolina. pamela brown is in washington. manu raju is on capitol hill. jason, they're awaiting the president's arrival. what are you hearing there? >> reporter: first of all, i have to tell you, it wasn't that long ago the president was at odds with some of the folks here at boeing after he balked at the $4 billion price tag for building two new air force ones. as you recall, kate, he tweeted out, cancel the order. shortly thereafter he had a meeting with the ceo, the head of boeing. and they decided together they would come up with an alternative plan for the cost of those air force ones. and give a break to taxpayers. so right now, though, things are looking good in terms of how the president is expected to be received here at boeing for the unveiling of the 787-10. he's expected to arrive here just at about 12 noon. shortly after arriving, kate, he's then expected to meet with the president and ceo of boeing. after that, he'll tour the facility. he'll give some brief remarks. that's expected

he toured the boeing plant in north charleston, south carolina a while ago for the 787-10 dreamliner passenger plane. he met with the ceo. but the protest movement that started the day after trump's inauguration has followed him to south carolina. >> lots of people have a lot of different reasons for being upset. the one unifying thing is just about everyone is upset with trump as our president and his behavior. what he says doesn't matter at all because he just constantly lies. you can't believe anything he says. so i tune all of that out. >> all right. so that's one side of the equation here. brynn is there in south carolina. i understand you have the people who are not at all thrilled with the president. i was talking with jason carroll who was at that boeing facility who said, brooke, a woman i talked to drove miles and miles, slept overnight in her car just to get a glimpse of this man. >> reporter: absolutely. we did. we got both sides, which is always a good thing. north charleston police told us both sides wanted to stay separate of this building we're next to so there was no

john roberts live in north charleston to run down this story for us. john, what are we learning about what has happened here? >> well, bill, this is another case of -- we have to explain this for our viewers at home. these things are dripping out. again it's part of the whole leak campaign against this white house. during the transition, during the campaign, there were hundreds of documents that were generated literally every word that came out of the president's mouth somebody somewhere wrote a potential policy paper for. some of these things were commissioned by the campaign and the transition, some things were sent in from people who weren't even connected to the transition or the campaign or eventually the white house. and this appears to be one of those cases where somebody wrote an executive order that included in it the idea that the president could mobilize 100,000 national guard troops to go across the country and round up people who were in this country illegally whether they were criminal illegal aliens or people who did not commit any crime

we saw the president a little bit ago in north charleston, south carolina, of course boeing. now he is headed to mar-a-lago and his club in florida. we will see what's shaking here in a minute. but first, this is his third straight weekend in balmy palm beach. pretty extraordinary lifestyle for a president. it is a logistical nightmare. drew harwell with this excellent piece. and tim o'brien is back with us today. executive editor at bloomberg view and "trump nation, the art of being the donald." gentlemen, good to see both of you. drew, to you first. your piece was so rich. we have to mention bush had the ranch. obama went to hawaii and marthas vineyard. trump has mar-a-lago. it is his adult kid, his wife. it's a lot following him around. >> with trump, everything is bigger, right? it is is just a fact of life that presidents and vice presidents go on vacation, they go on trips. obama went on trips. so did bush. it is the scale of them that is sort of mind boggling. while the president is heading down to florida with a whole secret service detail in tow, his boys are going t
