President Donald Trump has been spending an extended Presidents' Day weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, despite ordering federal workers to return to the office. Trump has been seen at the Trump International Golf Course for the fourth consecutive day, following his routine of golfing nearly every day during his stay in sunny South Florida.
Although Trump has been vocal about his opposition to remote work and efforts to reduce the federal workforce, his frequent visits to Florida are not uncommon. His time spent at his golf course in Florida contrasts with his criticism of federal workers working remotely, as he believes they are not actually working but engaging in leisure activities like playing tennis or golf.
During his current term, Trump has spent at least 12 nights at his Mar-a-Lago resort, with most of them occurring over the weekends. This is a notable shift from his previous criticisms of Joe Biden for spending weekends at home in Delaware, where he mocked Biden for relaxing on the beach while leaders like President Xi of China and Kim Jong Un of North Korea were assumed to be actively engaged in their duties.
Despite his time away from the White House, Trump is set to return after delivering a speech at an investment conference in Miami. His only official event listed on the White House schedule for Tuesday is signing executive orders at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump's routine of golfing in Florida and spending time at his resort continues to draw attention from supporters, who gather outside the golf course to welcome him. His presence at the course is so regular that it has become a familiar sight for onlookers.
