On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Trump visits his golf course

West Palm Beach, Fla. • President Donald Trump's first stop Monday was Trump International Golf Club, apparently beginning the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with golf rather than the charitable service the slain civil rights leader's family has urged as the best way to memorialize him.

The morning after declaring "I'm not a racist," Trump began his Monday the same way he has begun each day of the three-day holiday weekend: with tweets sent before leaving his private Mar-a-Lago estate and then a short motorcade to the golf club.

Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago hours later and drove from there to the airport in late afternoon.
