In an announcement this week, President Donald Trump hinted that he might be nearing the end of his golfing career.
After dominating on the same green where he was almost assassinated last August, Trump, who won the yearly tournament at his Palm Beach County club, declared it to be “probably my last.”
At the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, Florida, I recently won the Golf Club Championship, which will likely be my final one. What a wonderful honor! Tonight is the Awards Dinner at the Club. I would like to express my gratitude to the amazing golf staff and all of the amazing players who took part in the event. So much fun! According to the Daily Caller, Trump wrote in a social media post.
Since it serves as President Trump’s garden at his Mar-a-Lago residence, the entire course is considered the crown jewel even though it is one of 18 owned by the Trump Organization worldwide. He has signed executive orders and made impromptu press appearances at the property almost every weekend since the day of the inauguration.
The day before the golf event, the White House released photos of President Trump wearing golf attire as he watched a fleet of American missiles rain down on Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

According to a new NBC News poll, more Americans think the nation is headed in the right direction than it has since 2004, and three months into his second term, Trump’s approval rating hit its highest level of his presidency.
The unfortunate news is that Trump has yet to win over the majority of Americans.
In fact, according to NBC’s polling, 54% of respondents are unhappy with his economic management, which is the first time he has lost a majority on the matter.
According to the New York Post, which cited the NBC News survey, “the survey found that voters generally feel Trump is bringing ‘the right kind of change’ on the key issues — even tariffs.” According to NBC, 41% of Americans favor his changes to trade policy, compared to 38% who oppose them.
According to The Post, NBC poll participants appear to be allowing Trump some wiggle room on inflation: 40% said his policies are helping, 30% said they are hurting, and 28% said they aren’t having any effect.
With a strong 90% approval rating among Republicans and only 4% among Democrats, the poll also shows how divisive Trump continues to be. According to NBC, this is the biggest difference in a president’s party’s approval ratings compared to the opposition party in the previous eight decades.
Trump has an all-time high in the poll, with 47% of voters supporting him overall and 51% opposing him. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 and again in October 2018, he had achieved 47% approval.
The Post pointed out that NBC’s results are consistent with the majority of other polls, with the most recent aggregate from RealClearPolitics indicating that Trump has an average approval rating of 48.2%.
According to RCP, Trump’s approval rating is significantly higher than it was at this point in his first term (44%), but it is still lower than that of former President Joe Biden (53%).
The fact that 44% of registered voters think the nation is headed in the right direction—the highest percentage in 20 years—and 54% think it is headed in the wrong direction is encouraging for Trump.
This is the most optimistic assessment of the nation’s future in the poll since President George W. Bush was in office 20 years ago, despite the fact that it is still mainly negative.
Compared to the previous administration, this is a significant change.
Just 28% of voters surveyed by NBC News in September of last year said they thought the nation was headed in the right direction, while 65% said they thought it was going in the wrong direction.
