Trump To Visit Bedminster For Campaign Fundraiser This Weekend

BEDMINSTER, NJ — After canceling his plans last weekend, President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit his golf club in Bedminster this weekend for a re-election campaign fundraiser.

He is expected to arrive Friday at Trump National Golf Club off Lamington Road. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction for VIP movement for the Bedminster area from Friday through Sunday.

Along with flight restrictions, locals can also expect delays or road closures during his travel times on Route 10, Route 24, and Interstates 287 and 78 around the airport and the golf club.

The $250,000-per-person event Saturday will be held outside of the golf club to adhere to social distancing rules, according to nj.com. Funds will go toward his re-election campaign.

Trump was previously expected to visit Bedminster on June 5 amid nationwide protests but later canceled plans.

Throughout his presidency, Trump has frequented his golf club during the summer months, including having his yearly vacations in August.

In past summer vacations, Trump spent 10 days at the golf club in 2019, 11 days in 2018 and 18 days in 2017.

Since his inauguration, Trump has spent 90 days at his golf club in Bedminster, which is more than at any of his other properties except Mar-a-Lago, where he has spent 109 days, according to nbcnews.com.
