President Donald Trump is scheduled to make his first presidential visit to Hawaii in November during a five-nation trip to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines, but it’s unclear how long he plans to stay in the islands or whether Air Force One will stop just long enough to refuel.

Trump is scheduled to travel with first lady Melania Trump between Nov. 3 and 14, according to the White House, which offered no details on the president’s schedule in Hawaii, such as whether the Trumps will stop on their way to Asia or on their way back — or when.

If he should appear in public in Hawaii, it’s unclear what kind of reception Trump would receive in a state that challenged his initial travel ban and voted overwhelmingly for his opponent, Hillary Clinton, last November. Trump for years also championed the so-called “birther” movement that questioned former President Barack Obama’s Honolulu birth in 1961.

Some Republican officials hope Trump will make time to speak at a fundraiser to help boost their numbers in the state Legislature, which has only five Republicans in the House and none in the Senate.

State Rep. Gene Ward (R, Kalama Valley-Queen’s Gate-Hawaii Kai) said Trump will face critical issues during his trip across Asia, particularly the rising tensions with North Korea over Kim Jong-un’s nuclear ambitions.

“This is not a trip to Hawaii,” Ward said Friday. “This is a trip to Asia. We’re a stopover.”

Ward said he wrote a letter to Trump in August asking the president to meet with Kim in Honolulu.

“When diplomats stop talking, the bullets start flying,” Ward told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Asked about Trump’s relationship with what Ward called “blue, blue state Hawaii,” Ward said: “Every time the Hawaii (congressional) delegation or Hawaii has an opportunity, it either pokes the president in the eye or elbows him in the ribs. The irony of that and the sad thing is that … it’s going to cut down the amount of money that the executive branch is going to (allocate) for Hawaii.”

Ward would like to see Trump make a fundraising speech for local Republicans but said, “I doubt there’s going to be time for that.”

Either way, he said, “it will be a great shot in the arm for Republicans whether he speaks or just lands for a pit stop.”

State Rep. Bob McDermott (R, Ewa Beach-Iroquois Point) hopes Trump follows other presidents who have visited iconic sites in Hawaii, such as the USS Arizona Memorial.

McDermott, who served as a Marine in the first Gulf War, said, “You do the symbolic things, lay a wreath at the Arizona Memorial and meet with the combat commanders (at Camp Smith) … maybe give a policy speech at the memorial on surprise attacks and Korea.”

He added, “As far as partisan politics, I would like to see him do a fundraiser so we can get some (Republican) candidates, certainly at the House level.”

Hawaii Republican Party Chairwoman Shirlene Ostrov, who served as an Air Force colonel, said: “I would hope he goes and sees the commanders and troops on the front lines and thanks them for their mission. If he has time, we’re hoping he would make a public appearance.”

But Ostrov doubts that Trump would appear in public to a mixed crowd because “it’ll probably get a little raucous,” she said. “I would advise him that we should stick with the mission at hand. It’s not necessarily time to win back votes and hearts and minds quite yet.”

Still, Ostrov would welcome any Hawaii visit by Trump. “He obviously has a lot of opposition here in Hawaii,” she said. “But there are also a lot of people like myself who support him.”
