CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The White House confirmed Thursday night that President Donald Trump will be in Central Virginia on Friday, April 10.

According to a press release, Trump is scheduled to participate in a MAGA, Inc. meeting at 6:30 p.m. and a roundtable at 7:15 p.m.

The release says both events will be held in Charlottesville.

The confirmation comes one day after the Federal Aviation Administration posted temporary flight restrictions for the area around Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport on Friday night, April 10.

I'd say about half will be there to protest him, and half will be there to applaud him.

It may be more than half doing the applauding. I have not been to C-Ville in a long time, but if things have not changed that much, this is how it will be for his visit.

Like I said, it has been over thirty years since I have been to Charlottesville, but, at the time, I saw plenty of... shall we say... 'conservative elements'... around town.

I won't say that it has not had a complete reversal, but I would be very surprised to find out that it did.

... to get out, they are not welcome.

Repugs generally bus in people when they expect a low turnout.

Some of the rural areas tend to be conservative but we outvote them.

The meeting is at the Trump Winery! Making money for himself, of course. Dr
