“Fore” more years!
Sources tell Page Six that Donald Trump will — just like last time around — be spending a hole lot of time at Mar-a-Lago, a.k.a. the “Winter White House,” instead of being full-time in DC.
In fact, one source tells us the Prez’s plans include heading to Palm Beach on weekends so that he can play golf and host where he is most comfortable.
“He likes being in Palm Beach. He likes playing golf. It will be set up as the ‘Winter White House.’ He prefers to meet world leaders and people at Mar-A-Lago,” says the source. “He’s always been a guy who gets his business done on the golf course,” they say.
POTUS did much the same during his first administration — so this is par for the course.
According to reports published in 2020, three years into his term, Trump had made 418 visits to Trump-branded properties with 307 days spent at golf clubs, according to CNN, based on pool reports, public schedules and public appearances. In 2017, he even teed up with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
However, sources had previously told us he planned to slice his golfing hours in his second term.
A source previously told Page Six back in November that Trump planned to “focus on the country” more than his handicap, but that it wouldn’t be “no golf ever.”
“It’s no golf with his regular buddies and friends who are members at the club,” they had told us. “There will be occasional games with Elon Musk or [Sen.] Lindsey Graham. But he’s focusing 24/7 on the country with history in mind. Some of his buddies have just been told their weekly games are on hold until the country is back on track!”
It seems he’s taken a mulligan on that plan.
In September, a man was arrested in an apparent assassination attempt close to one of Trump’s courses.
The real estate mogul owns 18 golf properties internationally.
