President Donald Trump returns to his southern White House at Mar-a-Lago on Friday for a weekend that will include a visit with major Republican donors who are gathering a few miles down the road.

Trump, who made a brief trip Thursday to inspect the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford in southeast Virginia, is expected to arrive on Air Force One Friday afternoon at Palm Beach International Airport. The president will fly to PBIA from Orlando, where he will visit a Catholic school to promote school choice programs.

It will be the fourth weekend Trump has spent in Palm Beach of the seven weekends since his inauguration. During his first month in office, Trump spent 25 percent of his time in Florida.

The president is scheduled to appear Friday night at a Republican National Committee event at the Four Seasons Resort, about five miles south of Mar-a-Lago on South Ocean Boulevard.

The RNC would not provide details about the event, saying it is closed to the media. Other GOP sources say a few hundred Republican donors are expected.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is scheduled to speak to the same donor gathering at lunch on Saturday and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is expected to speak to the Republican contributors at a Saturday dinner.

Scott will join Trump on Friday at St. Andrew Catholic School in Orlando, where the majority of students get tuition voucher assistance from a $559 million Florida program that gives dollar-for-dollar tax credits to businesses who contribute to a scholarship fund for disadvantaged students.

Most of the scholarships are administered through the nonprofit organization Step Up For Students, which said it awarded 97,457 scholarships this year to students from households with an average income of $24,075. Sixty-nine percent of the scholarship recipients are black or Hispanic, and 55 percent are from single-parent homes, the organization said.

"We are excited to have the president come and visit this school and we are excited to have him hear from these parents," said Step Up For Students spokesman Patrick Gibbons.

Trump voiced support for such programs in his Tuesday address to a joint session of Congress.

"I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children. These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them," Trump said.

While he’s in Palm Beach, the White House has not announced any public events for the president.

During his past weekend visits, Trump has mixed work and leisure. He has made five trips of four hours or longer to his Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach, though the White House in many cases has not confirmed whether he was playing golf there.

Trump has also conducted official meetings at Mar-a-Lago, including interviews last month with candidates for national security adviser. Trump announced his selection of U.S. Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster for the job at Mar-a-Lago.

Because of Trump’s visit, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced temporary flight restrictions for the area around Palm Beach from 3:30 p.m. Friday through 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

The restrictions, required by the Secret Service whenever Trump stays in Palm Beach, ban most operations at the Lantana airport, which is about 6½ miles southwest of Mar-a-Lago, and impose strict limits at other Palm Beach County airports, which include requiring small plane pilots to be cleared by authorities at other airports before they fly in.

Twenty-seven pilots violated the restrictions during Trump’s first three visits as president, with military aircraft deployed seven times to intercept violators.

Trump’s visit also means the closure of a section of South Ocean Boulevard near Mar-a-Lago from 8 a.m. Friday through Sunday night and temporary road closures when motorcades are transporting the president.
