Floridians can expect to see a lot more of the president.

This past weekend, the president spent time at his South Florida estate. Mar-A-Lago is being called the "Winter White House."

On Monday morning protesters started gathering around 8:30 a.m. to protest President Trump's visit. The protesters are calling it a "Trump not welcome rally."
