Trump Spotted Enjoying First Weekend As Ex-President [Photos, Video]

Donald Trump spent his first weekend as the former president of the United States indulging in his favorite pastime, and at one point, waving at a crowd of supporters as they welcomed him back to his second home in Palm Beach, Florida

Trump was seen playing a couple rounds of golf on Saturday at his West Palm Beach club golf course, one of his top vacation destinations away from the White House.

The former president wore his signature red ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign cap and a white polo shirt as he golfed, before being transported to his Mar-a-Lago resort – his new permanent home.

Upon his return, Trump was greeted by a small crowd of supporters, some of whom were carrying American flags as well as signs that read: ‘Still My President!’ and ‘Trump Won!’

As his motorcade drove by, Trump flashed a smile and waved cheerfully at the group of adoring fans lining the road.

The outgoing president returned to the Sunshine State Wednesday morning as he refused to follow tradition and attend the inauguration of his successor President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump had spent much of his time as president playing golf at his various courses across the country and around the world, but especially his West Palm Beach club.

He was on his course in Virginia when he learned he had lost the presidential election to Joe Biden on November 7.

And with his permanent move back to Mar-a-Lago coupled with his newfound lack of government employment he will be able to enjoy his favorite hobby even more.

It comes as House Democrats announced they have set the date for opening arguments in the Senate impeachment trial for Trump over the Capitol riots.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the schedule Friday evening after reaching an agreement with Republicans, who had pushed for a delay to give Trump a chance to organize his legal team and prepare a defense on the sole charge of incitement of insurrection.

The trial will begin the week of February 8, the first time a former president will face such charges after leaving office.

The February start date also allows the Senate more time to confirm President Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominations and consider his proposed $1.9trillion COVID relief package – top priorities of the new White House agenda that could become stalled during trial proceedings.

‘We all want to put this awful chapter in our nation´s history behind us,’ Schumer said about the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol siege by a mob of pro-Trump supporters.

‘But healing and unity will only come if there is truth and accountability. And that is what this trial will provide.’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will send the article of impeachment late Monday, with senators sworn in as jurors Tuesday. But opening arguments will move to February.
