Trump traveled little in his first 100 days, preferring to spend time at Mar-a-Lago
According to an NBC News analysis, Trump has spent 12 of the 14 past weekends at his own properties, and he's traveled far less than he did during this same period in his first term.
President Donald Trump enacted massive tariffs on April 2 that plunged the stock market into disarray, threatened a trade war and shook consumer confidence.
As the nation reeled, Trump left the White House for the weekend — not to drum up support for the policies around the country, but to travel to Mar-a-Lago.
Then he hit the links.
As headlines screamed about the possibility of soaring prices and global economic instability, the White House issued a statement: “The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”
The chasm between the uneasiness Americans were expressing and Trump’s actions couldn’t have been more vast.
