Sarah Palin’s bus tour of Americana took a side trip into the surreal Tuesday evening when she paid a visit to Donald Trump at his triplex apartment in New York.

Navigating West 56th Street in rush-hour traffic, Ms. Palin arrived around 6:30 p.m. by chauffeured black S.U.V. at Trump Tower, having abandoned her One Nation tour bus, presumably outside Midtown. She alighted with her young daughter Piper, posed for a picture with a tourist and hurried past two dozen reporters and photographers.


She then had pizza with Mr. Trump at an outlet of the Famous Famiglia chain on 50th Street and Broadway. Artan Brdakic, a worker there, said they had a pepperoni pizza, a sausage pizza and a meatball pizza, with Mr. Trump wearing a suit with a blue tie for the meal and accompanied by his wife, Melania.

An aide to Mr. Trump said Ms. Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, had sought the meeting, having “reached out” that morning. Ms. Palin has generated more buzz about a possible presidential bid with the start of her road trip on Sunday — she has visited Gettysburg and the Liberty Bell — did not reveal why she wanted to pay a call on Mr. Trump and his wife. His own flirtation with a Republican presidential campaign ended last month amid speculation it was all intended to jolt his business interests.

Earlier this spring Ms. Palin voiced support for Mr. Trump’s interest in “getting to the bottom” of President Obama’s birth certificate. In 2008, during Ms. Palin’s vice-presidential campaign, Mr. Trump said he trusted her to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.

In going to meet Mr. Trump, Ms. Palin breezed into the residential entrance to the gold-clad building across from an Armani superstore. She was all smiles but did not pause for interviews. She did respond to one reporter’s question about Mr. Trump’s past donations to Democrats: “I think I’ll go change his mind and make sure he’s contributing to constitutional conservatives.’’

Then she disappeared into the doorman building before they left to have pizza.

On the schedule tomorrow, by some accounts: Ellis Island.

Sarah Palin announced Friday on the website of her political action committee that she’s going on a bus tour of the US East Coast this weekend, starting in Washington and winding up towards New England.

The point of the tour will be to "appreciate the significance of our nation's historic sites, patriotic events, and diverse cultures," said the trip announcement.

What Ms. Palin didn’t say is exactly where she’s going. The map of stops that was posted on the trip’s web page was blank. Why the secrecy?

Maybe it’s a plan to build attention and publicity for the tour, which comes as speculation about a possible Palin presidential run ramps up. Maybe it’s a way to keep the lamestream media from getting ahead of her and doing dangerous unscripted interviews with supporters.

Or maybe it’s because somebody on her staff knows enough about East Coast holiday traffic to realize that you can’t plan where you’re going because you may have to take lengthy unscheduled detours.

What do you think about the bus tour??

Bristol Palin, the daughter of Republican political star Sarah Palin, is about to be a star in her own right.

The unmarried Alaskan mother, 20, is to head up her own reality TV show for the US cable channel BIO which will follow her move from Alaska to Los Angeles where she will share a house with son Tripp, 2, and actors Chris and Kyle Massey.

Palin met Kyle Massey on her previous reality TV stint when she was a much-derided contestant on Dancing With the Stars. According to a statement from BIO Palin, 20, will also work at a charity during the as-yet-untitled documentary.

'Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to,' BIO executive David McKillop said in a statement. 'Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her and son and her friends the Massey brothers.'
