March 21, 2025: Donald Trump presidency news

President Donald Trump has been something of a homebody since returning to office, spending weekdays at the White House and most weekends at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

This weekend, he’s adding another one of his homes to the rotation: Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

For the first time this season, Trump is visiting his New Jersey golf club, located in Somerset County, about an hour from Manhattan. He left the White House on Friday evening and is set to spend much of Saturday there before he is scheduled to attend the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia.

“We’re going to Bedminster now for work — we have some work,” Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One.

The president’s out-of-town travel this year can be traced almost entirely through high-profile sporting events, including the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9 and NASCAR’s Daytona 500 a week later.

Trump, who attended the national wrestling championship in 2023, has attended several Ultimate Fighting Championship events with one of his top supporters, Dana White, who runs the organization.

Since returning to power, Trump has logged significantly less travel than most presidents.

He visited North Carolina and California in January, surveying storm and fire damage, but has not traveled to any states beyond Florida since then. He is barred from running for another term, and aides say he prefers opening the White House to people from across the country over traveling.

In the first 60 days of his second term, Trump has spent at least 18 nights at home in Florida — every weekend but one, when he stayed in Washington to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference. During his four years out of office, Trump frequently ridiculed Joe Biden for spending weekends at home in Delaware.

While Trump usually waits to visit his New Jersey Club until May, when the Mar-a-Lago season ends for the summer, he is taking an early trip this weekend. He is expected to resume visits next month to his Florida home, which he calls the “Winter White House.”
