Trump at six months

- Jessica Estepa @jmestepa USA TODAY

A look at his Twitter favorites and weekend getaways,

If you have to stay somewhere, you may as well stay at a place you own, right?

That more or less seems to be the attitude of President Trump, who has rarely missed a weekend with at least a stop by a Trump property since he started visiting Mar-a-Lago down in Florida on his third weekend in office.

The only exceptions: The two weekends surroundin­g his first foreign trip in office and the one time he went to presidenti­al retreat Camp David.

As we mark six months of the Trump presidency, here are the six Trump properties he’s visited on weekends.

1. MAR-A-LAGO (7 WEEKENDS) Right before he took office, Donald Trump dubbed his Palm Beach club his “winter White House” in a tweet on Jan. 18 — and it has lived up to that nickname. He’s used his club to host both Japan’s Shinzo Abe and China’s Xi Jinping there, in February and April, respective­ly.

He spent seven weekends at the estate before it closed for the season in May.

Expect his visits to begin again after the club opens on Nov. 1.

2. TRUMP INTERNATIO­NAL GOLF CLUB IN WEST PALM BEACH (7 WEEKENDS) If he was at Mar-a-Lago, he swung by his golf club that is a little less than 6 miles away.

3. TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB IN JUPITER, FLA. (1 WEEKEND) He visited his club in Jupiter, about 18 miles away from Mar-aLago, and brought Japan’s Shinzo Abe along.

4. TRUMP INTERNATIO­NAL WASHINGTON (3 WEEKENDS FOR DINNER) When he stays put in Washington, D.C., for the weekend, you might spot him at the Trump Internatio­nal Washington, his hotel that opened last year just blocks away from the White House.

5. TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB IN STERLING, VA. (9 WEEKENDS) If he’s in D.C., he’s also likely to head into northern Virginia for a round of golf — and a meeting or two.

6. TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB IN BEDMINSTER, N.J. (4 WEEKENDS) With Mar-a-Lago closed for the season, the president typically heads north. His latest trip included the U.S. Women’s Open, since it was hosted at his course.
