President Trump is gearing up for a busy weekend of meetings at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Florida that he dubbed the “Southern White House” in a tweet Saturday morning.
Trump is at the resort for the third weekend in a row since taking office.
“Will be having many meetings this weekend at The Southern White House. Big 5:00 P.M. speech in Melbourne, Florida. A lot to talk about!” he tweeted.

Trump is expected to meet this weekend with the three contenders to replace Mike Flynn as national security adviser: former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster.
Trump sent the tweet just as his motorcade was pulling into the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, according to a pool report.
Earlier on Saturday morning, Trump tweeted that the administration is “running VERY WELL,” despite press reports.
“Don’t believe the main stream (fake news) media.The White House is running VERY WELL. I inherited a MESS and am in the process of fixing it,” the tweet said.
