Trump will be spending a three-day weekend at his luxury resort in celebration of the Easter holiday.
“Yes, I’ll be here for Easter,” he told The Palm Beach Daily News earlier this week. “Is Easter next week?” Well then, I guess I’ll be back next week.”
NBC estimates that Trump has spent about 28% of his presidency traveling to or from, or staying at Mar-a-Lago. Taxpayers are picking up the tab for each visit of course, with a price tag as high as $3 million per trip.

Less than hour after his arrival to Florida, NBC News reported that the U.S. is prepared to launch a preemptive strike with conventional weapons against North Korea should officials become convinced that North Korea is about to follow through with a nuclear weapons test, according to multiple senior U.S. intelligence officials.
