Trump, JD Vance in Florida: How to watch the presidential motorcade to, from Mar-a-Lago
For the 10th time since he was sworn in, President Donald Trump is expected to return to his Florida home tonight, Thursday, May 1. Vice President JD Vance will also potentially be in Palm Beach tonight, but will be here for only a few hours and likely be gone before the president arrives. If you're keeping track, so far, President Trump has spent all but three weekends of his presidency in Florida, skipping out on Easter weekend at Mar-a-Lago for the first time in years. Trump's primary residence is at Mar-a-Lago, his private, members-only club in Palm Beach. During his first presidency, it was often referred to as the 'Southern White House' or "Winter White House' because of the amount of time he spent there. This weekend will be his 10th visit to Mar-a-Lago and his 11th visit to Florida since taking office in January. According to The Palm Beach Daily News and FAA temporary flight restrictions "for VIP movements" issued this week, Trump is expected to arrive in Palm Beach tonight, Thursday, May 1, and leave this Sunday, May 4 (May the Fourth, for Star Wars fans). When Trump arrives and leaves Palm Beach this weekend, Southern Boulevard will likely be lined with some Trump supporters, protesters and anyone else who wants to catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade that will escort the president to and from his Florida home throughout the weekend. Here's information about Mar-a-Lago and how to watch the presidential motorcade in Palm Beach this weekend. When the president is in Palm Beach, the roads surrounding Mar-a-Lago are shut down. "South Ocean Boulevard will shut down between the Southern Boulevard traffic circle and the intersection with South County Road, the town said in an alert sent the morning of April 30. While Palm Beach did not specify what time the road will close, the town typically sends the alert about 24 hours before the road is expected to shut down," The Palm Beach Daily news reported on Wednesday. "Those who live, work and are visiting homes within the area affected by the South Ocean Boulevard's closure will be allowed in after providing identification, and they can enter and exit only through the north security checkpoint at South County Road, officials have said." Trump is expected to arrive back in Palm Beach tonight, after addressing the University of Alabama's graduating class of 2025 at their commencement ceremony. According to the FAA's Temporary Flight Restrictions for today, the president will likely arrive in Palm Beach sometime after 10 p.m.. He's expected to leave sometime before 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 4. More on road closures around Mar-a-Lago: South Ocean Boulevard to close May 1 for Trump visit to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach Vice President JD Vance will likely also be in Palm Beach tonight, for a few hours, leaving just before the president arrives. While he's in Palm Beach, the 200 block of Worth Avenue will close. "The FAA recently issued a pair of "VIP Movement" notifications, one for Vance for May 1 and another for Trump for May 1-4," The Palm Beach Daily News reported this week. "While the notices do not specifically mention Trump or Vance, the flight restrictions included in the notice for each are of the level used for vice presidential or presidential travel, and the presidential-level notice matches previous ones posted ahead of Trump's visits to his Mar-a-Lago Club." According to the FAA's Temporary Flight Restrictions, Vice President Vance will likely arrive some time around 4:45 p.m. today, Thursday, May 1, and will leave some time before 9:15 p.m. Palm Beach Police: Secret Service orders part of Worth Avenue to close for VIP visit The Mar-a-Lago resort and club in Palm Beach has been the primary residence of Donald, Melania and Barron Trump since 2019. In 1985, Donald Trump paid $10 million for the 17-acre estate that is now Mar-a-Lago. It originally boasted 33 bathrooms, three bomb shelters and a nine-hole golf course. Ten years later, Trump updated the already-luxurious estate and converted it into an even more ritzy private "Mar-a-Lago Club" with a spa, tennis and croquet courts, ballroom and a beach club. The size of the living quarters at Mar-a-Lago is speculated to be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet. The private club has around 500 members. The ballroom was completed in 2005. The Mar-a-Lago resort and club is in Palm Beach, Florida, and sits about 15 minutes from the Palm Beach International airport (PBI). If you want to see Donald Trump when he's in Palm Beach County, your best shot is to watch the presidential motorcade en route to or from the Palm Beach International Airport tonight Thursday, May 1, or on Sunday, May 4. The president is expected to land in Palm Beach tonight, Thursday, May 1, sometime after 10 p.m. and leave on Sunday, May 4, sometime before 6:30 p.m. Watching the motorcade is kind of like watching a rocket launch lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center or the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Brevard County. People from Palm Beach County and beyond often line up along Southern Boulevard and wait to watch Trump's motorcade pass by. Trump supporters usually line up along Southern Boulevard going east toward Mar-a-Lago. Southern Boulevard is the main road next to PBI, where Trump typically flies into the airstrip designated for private planes. Even when he wasn't president, you could sometimes see people parked on the side of the road near the airport, looking at his private plane which said 'Trump' in big, gold letters. In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of Trump supporters would line up on Southern Boulevard to watch the Trump motorcade, which typically has from 15 to 20 cars in it. You can drive by Mar-a-Lago, too. But the property is private, so you can't visit the actual club unless you're a member. The main entrance to Mar-a-Lago is on South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach. You can park and walk by, but you'll be in the roadway. It isn't uncommon for people to pull over their cars to catch a view of the famous club. It is dangerous, though, because there is no sidewalk, and there's no shoulder on the side of the road next to the private club. It's important to remember the roads surrounding Mar-a-Lago close when the president is in town. If you want a glimpse of his private club, you'll have to wait until after he leaves Florida. The best place to watch the motorcade pass is along Southern Boulevard, near the Palm Beach International Airport.

Trump returns week after visiting all 3 of his Florida golf clubs. How to watch his motorcade
For the 10th time since he was sworn in, President Donald Trump is set to return to his home state of Florida for the weekend today, Friday, April 11. His latest visit last weekend started with a trip to Miami, then to his home and private club, Mar-a-Lago, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. Last week in particular was a big one for the commander-in-chief: Trump managed a golf trifecta — he attended, played or competed at all three of his Trump National Golf Club sites in Florida — after arriving April 3, 2025, for a four-day stay the Sunshine State. It was his ninth visit to Florida and the eighth to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach since his second term began on Jan. 20, 2025, Inauguration Day. Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, where he appeared, also hosted the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament on the same weekend. Also in the same weekend, protesters converged in about 1,300 Trump-Elon Musk "Hands Off, Fight Back" rallies nationwide, with 45 in Florida alone and some down the road from Mar-a-Lago. If you're keeping track, so far, Trump has spent all but two weekends of his presidency in Florida. Trump and LIV Golf match in Florida: List of family members who did (and didn't) attend Trump's primary residence is at Mar-a-Lago.

According to The Palm Beach Daily News and FAA temporary flight restrictions "for VIP movements" issued this week, Trump is expected to arrive in Palm Beach on Friday, April 11, make a quick Saturday evening trip to Miami, and leave from Palm Beach, on Sunday, April 13. The president typically spends Easter weekend at Mar-a-Lago, according to previous Palm Beach Post coverage, then frequents his "Summer White House" in Bedminster, New Jersey, until fall. But first, he and first lady Melania Trump will host the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 21. When he returns to Palm Beach this weekend, Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County will likely be lined with some Trump supporters, protesters and anyone else who wants to catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade that will escort Trump to and from his Florida home throughout the weekend.

Donald Trump to make appearance at LIV Golf's first domestic event of the year in Florida
Donald Trump to make appearance at LIV Golf's first domestic event of the year in Florida Show Caption Hide Caption Trump arrives for weekend at Mar-a-Lago before Super Bowl trip President Donald Trump arrives on Air Force One in West Palm Beach. Trump is at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach before trip to New Orleans Super Bowl. President Donald Trump is officially en route to Florida for the LIV Golf event taking place at the Trump National Dora course in Miami. This event is LIV's first domestic event of 2025, giving Trump the opportunity to host a particularly special occasion for the sport. Trump has spent a lot of his time since becoming president in Florida. In fact, this will be his ninth weekend in the Sunshine State, having spent only two in Washington D.C. since taking office. As it stands, Trump is expected to attend a LIV Golf dinner at his golf club in Doral before spending another part of his weekend 30 minutes north of Mar-a-Lago at the Trump National Golf Club. Anybody interested in witnessing the president's motorcade will be able to do so. It has become somewhat of a tradition as Trump supporters will often line Southern Boulevard in anticipation of his arrival and waiting to see Trump's vehicle drive by. According to The Palm Beach Daily News and FAA temporary flight restrictions "for VIP movements" issued this week, Trump is expected to arrive in Miami, Florida, on Thursday, April 3, and leave Palm Beach on Sunday, April 6. It is unclear what Trump's involvement with the LIV Golf event will be aside from the dinner. LIV GOLF: PGA Tour responds to latest PIF demands, 'neither deemed acceptable,' per report Who is playing LIV in Doral this weekend? 13 teams of four, or 52 golfers, will be playing in the event this weekend. Esteemed golfers such as Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm will be participating for their respective teams. In fact, each of the aforementioned golfers are team captains. Mickelson: Hyflyers GC Poulter: Majesticks GC DeChambeau: Crushers GC Koepka: Smash GC Rahm: Legion XIII What is Trump's relationship with LIV? LIV Golf, a Saudi sports business, has expressed an "eagerness to pay" Trump to host some LIV Golf events at some of his resorts in the past, according to the New York Times. According to the report, attracting professional golf to his courses had long been a goal for the president. Trump had previously been snubbed by other golf organizations, particularly the PGA Tour. Given that LIV Golf played three events at Trump's courses in 2023, it appears the president and LIV Golf have a mutually beneficial relationship. That said, LIV Golf did not play a single event at a Trump course in 2024. The presence of professional golfers has reportedly boosted revenue for Trump's courses, and LIV Golf gets the name recognition of Trump attached to many of their events.

Where is Trump today? President Trump expected back in Florida this weekend, What to know
President Donald Trump is returning to his Florida home again this weekend, right before St. Patrick's Day and his youngest son and father-in-law's birthdays next week. Last weekend, First Lady Melania Trump's father Viktor Knavs and Elon Musk joined President Trump on his sixth visit to Mar-a-Lago since taking office in January. If you don't know, Trump's primary residence is at Mar-a-Lago, his club and resort in Palm Beach, Florida. During his first presidency, it was often referred to as the 'Southern White House' or "Winter White House' because of the amount of time he spent here. According to The Palm Beach Daily News and FAA temporary flight restrictions "for VIP movements" issued this week, Trump is expected to arrive in Palm Beach County on the evening of Friday, March 14, and leave on Sunday, March 16 — which means he will be in the Sunshine State for St. Patrick's Day weekend (St. Patrick's Day is on Monday, March 17). That also means that Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County will likely be lined with some Trump supporters, protestors and anyone else who wants to catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade that will escort Trump to and from his Florida home on Friday and Sunday. Here's how to watch the presidential motorcade in Palm Beach the weekend of March 14-16, 2025. FAA notice: President Trump to make sixth visit to Palm Beach since inauguration President Trump is anticipated to arrive in Florida sometime after 6:15 p.m. EST Friday, March 14, and is expected to leave sometime before 6:30 p.m. Sunday, March 16, according to The Palm Beach Daily News and the FAA's temporary flight restrictions. When the president is in Palm Beach, the roads surrounding Mar-a-Lago shut down. "Ahead of Trump's expected arrival, South Ocean Boulevard next to his Mar-a-Lago Club will shut down between South County Road and the Southern Boulevard traffic circle. The town sends an alert 24 hours before the road closes to give drivers time to plan alternate routes," The Palm Beach Daily News reported on Tuesday, March 11. "Palm Beach County is no stranger to presidential-level flight restrictions, which took effect each time Trump visited Palm Beach during his first term." More about local road, bridge closures: South Ocean Blvd. to close March 14 until further notice for Trump visit to Palm Beach The Mar-a-Lago resort and club in Palm Beach has been the primary residence of Donald, Melania and Barron Trump since 2019. But Barron hasn't spent as much time there as-of-late, since he's become an NYU student. In 1985, Donald Trump paid $10 million for the 17-acre estate that is now Mar-a-Lago. It originally boasted 33 bathrooms, three bomb shelters and a nine-hole golf course. Ten years later, Trump updated the already-luxurious estate and converted it into an even-more ritzy private "Mar-a-Lago Club" with a spa, tennis and croquet courts, ballroom and a beach club. The size of the living quarters at Mar-a-Lago are speculated to be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet. The private club has around 500 members. The ballroom was completed in 2005. Thursday, March 20, 2025, is Barron Trump's 19th birthday. It's also the last day of classes before NYU's spring break begins (if you're counting Friday, March 21, as part of the break). And four days after his birthday, Barron Trump's grandfather will celebrate his 81st. Viktor Knavs, Donald Trump's father-in-law and Melania Trump's father, will turn 81 on Monday, March 24. And the two seem to be close. Knavs doesn't just show up for the milestone events for the president and first lady, he's usually the man standing next to their only son, Barron Trump (see above photo gallery). The youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump experienced a lot in his 18th year: High school graduation from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida; an assassination attempt on his father in summer 2024; life in the public eye; the 2024 presidential election; and Inauguration Day. We don't know whether Barron Trump will spend spring break at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, which is close to NYU's Stern School of Business, at the White House in Washington, D.C., or if he will venture further South to Palm Beach. Before Barron Trump turned 18, he was largely kept out of the spotlight because of Melania Trump's protective nature. He's shown interest in his father's politics, particularly during the 2024 presidential election, though he did not make many public appearances. He has not many many public appearances since Inauguration Day. Barron Trump: Spring break coincides with birthday of NYU student, his grandfather Viktor Knavs The Mar-a-Lago resort and club is in Palm Beach, Florida, and sits just about 15 minutes away from the Palm Beach International airport (PBI).

Trump to visit Florida home again this weekend. How to watch the presidential motorcade
President Donald Trump is returning to his Florida home again this weekend, and he could be hosting some controversial guests: former professional kickboxer, influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate. This will be President Trump's fourth weekend back at Mar-a-Lago since becoming the 47th president of the United States. If you don't know, Trump's primary residence is at Mar-a-Lago, his club and resort in Palm Beach, Florida. During his first presidency, it was often referred to as the 'Southern White House' or "Winter White House' because of the amount of time he spent here. The Tate brothers are also in Florida this weekend. They landed in Fort Lauderdale today, Thursday, Feb. 27, just a few days after the Trump administration allegedly pressured Romania to lift the brothers' travel ban, due to crimes they've been charged with in Romania. "The Trump administration is pushing Romania to lift travel restrictions on Andrew Tate, a right-wing influencer and Trump backer who with his brother is facing a cascade of charges and investigations over allegations of human trafficking, money laundering and rape," USA TODAY reported on Feb. 18. There's no confirmation on if the brothers will visit the president at Mar-a-Lago, but Fort Lauderdale is only a little over a 45-minute drive from Trump's Florida home. According to The Palm Beach Daily News and FAA temporary flight restrictions "for VIP movements" issued , Trump is expected to arrive in Palm Beach County on the evening of Friday, Feb. 28. That means that Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County will likely be lined with some Trump supporters and anyone else who wants to catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade that will escort Trump to and from his Florida home on Friday and Sunday evenings. Here's how to watch the presidential motorcade, what we know about President Trump's trip to Palm Beach this weekend and a little context for why many Floridians are angry about the Tate brothers' arrival in Fort Lauderdale. More on Trump in Florida: Flight restrictions return ahead of Trump's 4th weekend in Palm Beach since taking office President Trump is anticipated to arrive in Florida sometime after 6:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, and is expected to leave sometime before 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, according to The Palm Beach Daily News and the FAA's temporary flight restrictions. When the president is in Palm Beach, the roads surrounding his winter White House shut down. "Ahead of Trump's expected arrival, South Ocean Boulevard next to his Mar-a-Lago Club will shut down between South County Road and the Southern Boulevard traffic circle. The town sends an alert 24 hours before the road closes to give drivers time to plan alternate routes," The Palm Beach Daily News reported on Thursday, Feb. 27. "Trump's arrival in Palm Beach on Friday will follow a visit from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House earlier in the day to sign a deal Trump has sought that will give the U.S. some rights to deposits of rare-earth minerals in Ukraine, as payment for ongoing U.S. aid to the country in its three-year war with Russia." More on road closures around Mar-a-Lago: South Ocean Blvd. to close Friday until further notice ahead of Trump visit to Palm Beach If you don't know, the Tate brothers are have been charged with a few crimes in Romania, stemming from allegations of human trafficking, money laundering and rape. They are also facing legal issues in the UK and the U.S. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said both before and after their arrival in Florida that the accused sex traffickers are not welcome in the state due to their conduct, but that it's ultimately up to the federal government to decide whether or not the brothers are allowed to be in the U.S. "A British arrest warrant has also been issued for the Tates and they will be extradited after Romanian trial proceedings are completed. The allegations in Britain — denied by them — relate to sexual aggression between 2012 and 2015," USA TODAY reported Thursday. "Andrew Tate's online instructional videos direct men to, among other things, physically assault women who accuse them of cheating, according to extremism-tracking group the Anti-Defamation League." Whether or not the brothers will visit the president's Mar-a-Lago home this weekend is still unknown as of Thursday, Feb. 27, at 3 p.m. The Mar-a-Lago resort and club in Palm Beach has been the primary residence of Donald, Melania and Barron Trump since 2019.
