President Donald Trump arrived in New Jersey Thursday night, his first trip to the Garden State this year.
Air Force One landed at Newark Airport at 11:10 p.m., according to White House pool reports. The president then took a helicopter to his Bedminster golf club, where he arrived at 11:51 p.m.
Trump plans to remain at Bedminster through Sunday, his 74th birthday. He traditionally has used the facility as a weekend getaway during the warmer months.
The president has no public events scheduled on Friday, the White House said.
He is scheduled to deliver the commencement address Saturday at the military academy in West Point, and then return to Bedminster to host a fundraising event there to raise money for his re-election campaign, the Republican National Committee, and 22 state parties.
The event will be limited to around 25 people and cost $250,000 per person.
He was supposed to spend last weekend there but canceled his trip as protests continued in Washington following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody.
Trump flew into New Jersey from Dallas, where he also hosted a fundraiser there. He also attended a roundtable where he defended police departments, many of which have come under fire in the wake of several deaths of unarmed blacks at the hands of law enforcement officers.
“We have to respect our police,” Trump said. “We have to take care of our police. They’re protecting us. And if they’re allowed to do their job, they’ll do a great job.”
During his presidency, Trump has spent 90 days at Bedminster, behind only the 109 days at Mar-a-Lago, according to NBC News.
