WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to return to his Bedminster golf club on Friday, marking his second weekend jaunt his year to New Jersey....We're a mere ten minutes from Trump National, nestled in the wooded hill country of north central Jersey. Bedminster is horse country, the National Equestrian Museum is there. We used to live one town over in Peapack, right across the street from the park. Jackie O lived there for a time and her kids used to ice-skate on the pond.* Every once and a while one would spot Christie Todd Whitman at the local coffee shop, Coco Luxe.
Since taking office, the president has spent several summer weekends and a working vacation each August in Bedminster, before returning to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, during the colder months.
Trump has spent 74 days at Bedminster during his presidency, second only to Mar-a-Lago among his properties he visits when not at the White House, according to NBC News.
We were at Coco Luxe a few weeks ago. An old friend of ours manages the joint. We met back in the early 2000's when she managed a coffee shop in Bedminster, The Daily Grind. It was here that we wrote a Line throught the Desert. Our friend actually shows up in Blooms.
We know a guy who knows a guy as they say, who used to work at Trump National. Our guy says his guy said that Trump once freaked out because the concierge garbage can was a cheap plastic job and not the finest, classiest alabaster, or whatever.
*Go ahead. And guess what anniversary is tomorrow.
