PALM BEACH — President Donald Trump finished raking in $7 million for his 2020 re-election bid, fit in a round of golf with top-ranked PGA star Dustin Johnson and approved a massive expansion of federal hurricane relief for Florida's Panhandle on Sunday before wrapping up his latest Mar-a-Lago weekend and returning to Washington.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump boarded Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport shortly after 4 p.m. to cap his 21st presidential visit to Palm Beach.

While Trump was on the course at Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach on Sunday morning, the White House announced that he had expanded an October declaration granting 100 percent federal reimbursement for debris removal and emergency protective measures for Hurricane Michael, which smashed into the Panhandle on Oct. 10.

Trump initially approved the 100 percent reimbursement for costs incurred during a five-day period chosen by the state. His amended declaration on Sunday grants the full federal reimbursement for expenses during the 45 days after Michael made landfall.

“I thank President Trump for taking decisive action at this critical time that will result in transformational improvement to recovery efforts for the many counties impacted by this natural disaster,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a statement released shortly after the White House announcement. “Hurricane Michael survivors and all Floridians will be profoundly grateful. We thank President Trump for his unwavering commitment to the people of Northwest Florida.”

In addition to the golfing and tweeting that are staples of his South Florida visits, Trump spent considerable time over the weekend attending fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago. He spoke for more than an hour on Friday night to about 300 donors who have given $50,000 or more to the Republican National Committee. On Saturday afternoon, after golfing with LPGA star Lexi Thompson at Trump International, Trump dropped in on a fundraiser for Big Dog Ranch Rescue, a nonprofit that is a favorite of his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

On Sunday, Trump spent about four hours at Trump International with Johnson, who began the day ranked No. 1 in the world in the PGA Tour's official ranking. Trump left the golf club shortly after noon and made the 4.5-mile trip back to Mar-a-Lago, where he spoke to about 475 donors who paid at least $2,500 apiece to raise money for Trump Victory, a joint venture of the Trump 2020 campaign and the RNC.

Friday's and Sunday's political events raised a combined $7 million, according to the RNC.

Attendees at Sunday's fundraiser parked four miles away at the Palm Beach County Convention Center and were ferried by bus to and from Mar-a-Lago — tighter security than there was for a similar event last year, attendees said. Trump, who changed from his golf attire to a suit and tie, spoke for about an hour and received several standing ovations.

The president gave a shout-out to part-time Palm Beach resident Toni Holt Kramer and a fan club she formed called the Trumpettes USA, attendees said. He also commended DeSantis and U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, who both won close elections with Trump's assistance last fall.

Trump mentioned tax cuts and a variety of positive economic indicators, said Florida Republican National Committeeman Peter Feaman of Boynton Beach.

"He's moving from 'fake news' to 'corrupt news'" in branding the media, Feaman added.

"I think the mood of the Trump base is very upbeat, especially as the Democratic Party careens to the left," Feaman said.

Former Palm Beach Town Councilman William Diamond said Trump seemed "very confident" and did not mention special counsel Robert Mueller or Russia or efforts by House Democrats to investigate him. Diamond and Feaman said Trump didn't make any mention of one of his signature 2016 campaign issues, a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

"It was very, very exhilerating," Diamond said. "I'm on the bandwagon."

Update 12:09 p.m.

The president is playing golf today with the best golfer in the world.

According to a statement from the White House, the president hit the links today with Dustin Johnson, currently the No. 1-ranked men's golfer in the world. The president previously played at his West Palm beach club with Johnson in November 2017, when the two were joined by Tiger Woods.

It is Trump's second day of play with a professional golfer. On Saturday, the president played with 10-time LPGA champion Lexi Thompson.

For those keeping track, the president has golfed 173 days (22.2 percent) of his 641 days in office. Fifty-four of those days (31.2 percent) were at his courses in West Palm Beach and Jupiter.

Update 10:03 a.m.

The White House has just issued a press release announcing that the president has authorized additional federal funding for Hurricane Michael relief efforts.

Under the declaration, federal funding will cover 100 percent of eligible debris removal and emergency protection costs incurred within 45 days of Hurricane Michael's landfall on Oct. 7.

Hurricane Michael was the strongest storm on record in the Florida panhandle and the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the contiguous United States, in terms of wind speed.

In a tweet minutes after the press release, Gov. Ron DeSantis praised the president, saying 100-percent federal reimbursement for storm damage in Florida is unprecedented.

Update 8:02 a.m.

The president has just posted his first tweets today - trashing the media and praising his administration for tax cuts, low unemployment and the "Best Economy."

More people are working today in the United States, 158,000,000, than at any time in our Country’s history. That is a Big Deal!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)March 10, 2019

Despite the most hostile and corrupt media in the history of American politics, the Trump Administration has accomplished more in its first two years than any other Administration. Judges, biggest Tax & Regulation Cuts, V.A. Choice, Best Economy, Lowest Unemployment & much more!

7:12 a.m.

Good morning. It's 75-degrees and partly cloudy at Mar-a-Lago with a high of 80-degrees today. The president is expected to attend a $2,500-per-ticket political fundraiser for his re-election campaign early this afternoon at Mar-a-Lago and he may try to squeeze in a few holes of golf this morning.

In the 36 hours since he and first lady Melania Trump landed in Palm Beach, the president has made appearances at three fundraisers - two political and one charity - at his private club and golfed with LPGA pro Lexi Thompson during a 6-1/2 visit to his golf club in West Palm Beach on Saturday.

On both Friday and Saturday nights, the president and first lady mingled with top donors and conservative celebrities at the club. On Saturday afternoon, the president popped in at the Wine, Women & Shoes annual luncheon for Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee - a favorite charity of Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, who spoke earlier in the day to a sold-out crowd of nearly 600 - mostly women.

All weekend, Mar-a-Lago has been the epicenter of political hob-nobbing, as top Republican donors and conservative celebs gathered at the Four-Seasons resort and Mar-a-Lago for the Republican National Committee's annual spring retreat. Events were not open to the media but social media is chock-full of what's been going.

Donald Trump Jr. and girlfriend and former Fox Kimberly Guilfoyle celebrated her 50th birthday at the club on Saturday night after speaking at the RNC retreat earlier in the day.
