President Trump is at Mar-a-Lago for President’s Day weekend, and the media are NOT in tow at the moment:

And this is as close as White House reporters will get to Trump, on his way to the golf course.
The press pool isn’t allowed to join him on the grounds of Trump International; they’re required to hang out at another West Palm Beach property nearby. https://t.co/ZugOlbSfEj

It’s not like the good old days when the press would golf with the president. Oh, wait…

Maybe the president’s security detail didn’t want the media anywhere in proximity after how the press pool’s day started:

There was also a vehicle accident involving the press pool van:
Interesting morning for the press pool — The driver of one of the press vans was detained after they found a personal firearm in his bag. (He said he forgot to leave the firearm inside his car.) Then a van grazed a Secret Service vehicle in the parking lot.
