On day two of President Trump’s declared national emergency on border security, the commander-in-chief spent the first few hours of Saturday golfing and enjoying the contents of the Mar-a-Lago omelette station.
According to the White House pool report, Trump arrived at his Florida club shortly after 9 a.m. to get in a round. He left a shade before 3 p.m.
Per pool, Trump has arrived at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, FL.
This is Trump's 169th day at a Trump golf club and 224th day at a Trump property as president.

On Friday, the President declared a national emergency in order to secure long-sought-after funding for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border after signing a new spending bill that did not include his proposed budget for border security. The declaration is already being challenged in court.
