Itinerary altered, and the President will apparently spend tonight in Beverly Hills

US President Donald J. Trump will attend a fundraiser dinner in Beverly Hills Tuesday evening. Seats range from $1000 for Bronze, to $100,000 and up.
On Wednesday morning, he will seek a photo opportunity somewhere in LA's massive skid row, said to exceed 50 square blocks and contain 20,000 homeless people, mostly addicts and those with mental problems.
The president leaves Silicon Valley around 3:20 p.m., an hour behind schedule as originally announced. He arrived at LAX at 4:20 pm, almost an hour later than originally announced.
From there he took a motorcade, not Marine 1 Helicopters, into Downtown Los Angeles.
A motorcade will accompany Trump to Beverly Hills, where he's expected to arrive around 6:30 p.m. for a joint fundraising committee dinner.
