BRUSSELS-Sad and lonely from the diplomatic trip that has kept him thousands
of miles away from his private estate for almost a week, a homesick Donald
Trump stayed up all night on the phone with the automated Mar-a-Lago reservations
line, sources said Wednesday. "The dining room will be open from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.,
and tonight's specials will be braised lamb with vegetables and herb-roasted salmon
served on a bed of orzo, in addition to a six-star seafood buffet that will be served
on the patio," said the concierge's voice on a pre-recorded message as the president,
huddled under the blanket in his hotel, wiped tears away with his pajama sleeve and
reminded himself that he only had three more days to go. "If you would like to access
our premium spa or salon services, press 1; if you would like to schedule a tennis or
golf lesson with one of our certified professionals, press 2; if you would like to
book one of our spaces for a wedding or event, press 3. Please press 9 to hear the
options again." After cycling through the selections numerous times, Trump reportedly
dozed off with the phone on his pillow and an untroubled smile on his sleeping face.
