Statement from the Office of Communications regarding the candidate’s travel itinerary
Following reports of a landing at Miami International Airport, the candidate’s office wishes to clarify that the visit was undertaken for the purpose of recreational exposure to sunshine. Vitamin D levels were cited as a contributing factor. No political tornadoes were observed in the vicinity of the terminal, and the candidate’s team has confirmed that none were in the forecast.
The campaign acknowledges the outcome of the recent election and characterises its own defeat as a coup d’état. This position rests on allegations of electoral fraud that have not, at the time of writing, been substantiated by any body with the authority to substantiate them. The campaign regards the matter as ongoing political persecution and has requested that substantiation be deferred to a future date, pending a suitable forecast.
Journalists asking about the return itinerary have been advised that sunshine is also available in Brazil, and that the candidate remains committed to being present there once conditions improve. Further statements will be issued in accordance with established travel protocol.
