President Trump saw in the new year at his Mar-a-Lago estate after visiting his West Palm Beach golf club for a meeting.

This isn’t unusual for the president, with CNN reporting that in 2019 he spent 120 days at Trump properties.

He also spent 85 days at Trump-branded golf properties, which averages to about one trip every five days.

Of course his trips don't always include playing the game. This time he tweeted to confirm that he hadn’t touched his clubs and was merely at the resort for a meeting.

But he does play a lot of golf.

Since being sworn in on January 20, 2017, Trump has been at a golf property 252 times.

President Obama, who Trump famously lambasted for playing golf too much, played 333 rounds of golf during his eight years in office. So by the 2020 election Trump is likely to surpass Obama’s total after just one term in office.
