Trump Heads for Golf Club, and So Do Protesters

As thousands gathered near the White House to protest the Trump administration's “zero tolerance” immigration policy on Saturday, the president was 220 miles away, at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. But he couldn’t entirely escape the demonstrators, reports USA Today. About 100 protesters lined up along Route 206, near president’s private resort, holding up signs and calling out, “Where are the children!?” Protesters are not an unusual sight in Bedminster; they’ve been gathering weekly near the club for the last 18 months, but Saturday’s crowd was the largest so far. Although the president’s visit to Bedminster was his first this year, he spent 40 days there in 2017, according to NBC. In all, he has spent 31% of his time in office at his properties.
