Trump Back in the Granite State Monday

Donald Trump, a potential New Hampshire first-in-the-nation presidential primary candidate, will be making stops in New Hampshire next week.

The business mogul will be making a stop in Salem on Monday, April 27, 2015, at the Tuscan Kitchen for a business lunch at noon and then will meet with veterans at the VFW Hall in Hudson, at a town hall meeting, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.

Later in the day, he will attend another town hall meeting at 3 p.m. at New England College at the Simon Center Great Room, according to a notice from the school. Seating is first-com, first served, and is open to the public, not just students.

“We’re thrilled to host Mr. Trump,” said New England College Provost Mark Watman, in a statement. “Faculty and students in our business, history, and political science programs are especially excited to hear from such an accomplished and public celebrity. We know his visit will attract a significant audience and would be honored to have him formally announce his candidacy alongside our students.”

Watman will be leading the formal welcome to Trump, according to the statement. The event is sponsored by the school’s Center for Civic Engagement.

Then, at 5:30 p.m., Trump will be in Concord participating in the latest Politics and Pie Series at the Snowshoe Club off Via Tranquilla as the guests of Steve Duprey and Juliana Bergeron, both National Republican Committee members, and the Republican City Committee.

The event is free but limited to the first 100 GOP primary voters who RSVP at kerrymarshnh@gmail.com or 603-582-0119.

According to the Union Leader story, Trump has signed a lease for office space that will open on May 1.
