By this weekend, President Trump will have spent 28 percent of his term traveling to or staying at Mar-a-Lago, NBC News estimates, renewing concerns about ethics and costs.
In comparison, former President Barack Obama didn't play his first round of golf until April 26th, 2009.
In efforts to help taxpayers, Palm Beach commissioners have proposed making Mar-a-Lago a special taxing district that would cover Trump's security costs.
The Showtime series The Circus took a look at Trump's impact on Palm Beach - including an interview with PostOnPolitics.com beginning at the 7:30 mark on this video. He is pictured returning from Florida on Sunday, having hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping there. The billionaire turned president owns two.
Trump's own words on his golfing habits are also coming back to haunt him.
Bill O'Reilly is an bad , terrible man (cont'd)
That was the situation during the almost week-long period before Ailes left Fox News , meaning the odds aren't good for O'Reilly. But O'Reilly's fate rests with the Murdoch family and they are reportedly divided over how to handle it.
This past weekend was especially eventful, as Trump was on his Mar-a-Lago property for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping while the USA launched a barrage of 59 missiles at a Syrian airfield in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack.
It is not uncommon for presidents to spend significant time away from the White House, but most presidents don't do so at a privately owned commercial property, either.
"You know what - and I love golf - but if I were in the White House, I don't think I'd ever see Turnberry [in Scotland] again", Trump said. With this latest trip, the Palm Beach Sheriff's office has racked up $3.5 million in total expenditures since Trump's November victory, says Bradshaw.
Sunday's golfing trip for Donald Trump came just three days after he made a decision to launch a missile strike against Syria, done so without consulting Congress. Who's gonna leave? I mean, who's gonna leave?'
