West Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)President Donald Trump, fresh off of signing his signature tax legislation, arrived in Florida on Friday for a prolonged visit at Mar-A-Lago, his private club that sits on this tony spit of land in Southern Florida.
With him comes a host of White House aides, an abundance of Secret Service agents and the ongoing controversy around the President boosting his private businesses by making frequent visits to properties that bear the Trump name.
Trump's Friday arrival to Mar-A-Lago will mark the 106th day Trump has visited one of his properties as President, a fact that critics argue helps the businessman-turned-politician boost the bottom line at The Trump Organization.(snip)
To date, Trump has spent 34 days at Mar-A-Lago as President, including seven weekends in January, February and March, according to a CNN analysis. Though it has been his most controversial stomping grounds, it has not been his most frequent.
When the weather in South Florida turned hot and muggy over the summer, Trump ventured north to the familiar confines of his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Trump spent a total of 40 days at the club, including a number of work filled days in August when Trump held meetings with cabinet officials and called world leaders.
Closer to the White House, Trump has visited Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia 23 times and Trump International Hotel just blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue five times so far during his presidency.
He spent several days at Trump Tower in New York this summer and also stopped by the Trump International Hotel Waikiki during a brief stop in Hawaii on his way to Asia in November.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment for this story.

Walking...
Remember, The POTUS is never on Vacation, even if he has to Rent Multimillion Dollar Homes from his Big Donors in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard.
That’s all I heard during the Clinton and Obama years anyway.
Why is it that Republican Presidents always go to own Homes and Democrat Presidents (since Kennedy and Carter) only spend time at the Homes of their Donors and Supporters while on their Non Vacation Vacations?
>>>the ongoing controversy around the President boosting his private businesses by making frequent visits to properties that bear the Trump name<<<
Wow, that’s a new MEME I’ve never heard before.
Maybe it should be against the Law to put your Family Name on your Mailbox and your House.
Only once every three days? I visited my properties over 365 times last year
How about all times they took separate airplanes where they went?
Barky never went anywhere that there was not some deal in it or homage being paid to him for some “favor”.
CNN = Fake News!
“Well yes. I did visit them. BUT I bought them before becoming POTUS. Kindly go and ask Barry and Nancy and Harry and Chucky where and how they got the money to buy their stuff.”

More hypocritical class warfare crap from our Communist News Network.
Kinda nice Trump is rich and have properties to visit. It’s better than getting into office and creating one illegal scam after another just to get rich, while saying to hell with America at the same time.
What jackasses are lib friends are.
Just Chicago.
LOVE that girl!
Nor did we ever hear sbout The Hamptons being a “tony spit of land in Massachusetts”.
You don’t see the drivebys mention that pres Trump does not accept a salary-and we save money when he goes to his own properties instead of us paying for him to go to someone else’s property, unlike the grifter Obamaasdid at the drop of a hat, complete with a bigger entourage of relatives and friends than a rock star has-all on our dime...
“the age demographic”
Not even-she had a fat ass in 2008-because she is a lazy heifer who tried to make everyone eat what she told them while she stuffed herself with all the sugar, fat and Wagyu beef she could eat on our dime. Neither I nor my female neighbors are overweight or out of shape, and most of us are older than our 50’s-might have to do with the fact that we all work at our own business or for someone else to make money instead of mooching off the American people for 8 years...
I visited my property over 300 times this year. What’s their point?
.....”I visited my property over 300 times this year. What’s their point?”........
Obviously they have none....never do.
My sister has cerebral palsey and has been a constantly exercised (CP makes lust moving a form of resistance training for her, seriously, she is strong) bean pole her whole life till she turned 42. In the last year and a half even she has started adding weight in her can (I help take care of her so me noticing isn’t odd, heck, I bought her last package of larger than last-time-we-bought-some-underwear underwear).
I didn’t give women grief for that sort stuff even before the last couple of years. I certainly don’t still.
“Just moving” ... I hate typos....
And look at all Trump managed to get done in that year!
The man works every day.
Obama was a lazy slacker who would go to Hawaii for three weeks at a time.
And then to Martha’s Vineyard in the summer.
Could the community organizer get any more exclusive?
I didn’t see CNN tallying Obongo’s trips and vacations at any time during 2009-2017. “””
NO-—BUT—Judicial Watch did some math on that topic:
December 2017 issue of The Verdict says:
Obama travel cost now Total of $105,662,975.00 per page 17 of that issue.
Trump’s travel expenses so far = $4,082,427.71-—
I cannot scan to show you the whole page. Perhaps someone else here on FR can do that.
