So uh... we're getting... a visitor today. We'll give you a hint: He lives in a BIG WHITE HOUSE.

Did you get it? That's right, our very own President Donald J. Trump is landing in Los Angeles, the second stop on what the Los Angeles Times reports is a two-day visit to the state. Trump is in our neck of the woods for a fundraiser in Beverly Hills hosted by real estate executive Geoffrey Palmer, according to CNBC.

As with any presidential visit, traffic is going to be a cluster. The following is a list of areas that, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, will likely have major traffic slowdowns. We suggest doing your best to avoid these areas.
