With North Korea warning it is ready for "nuclear war", world politics has not taken a moment's break for Easter.

But the same might not be said for Donald Trump, who has once again been spotted at his golf resort.

This weekend is reportedly the 18th time the US President has visited his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, since he took office.

On previous trips his aides stressed he was attending meetings, only for photos to emerge on social media of him in golfing attire.

Trump's motorcade was spotted at Trump International yesterday and on Friday, while CNN claimed to have footage of him on the golf course.

Guests at the resort showed their excitement online last night at him turning up to the dining room with First Lady Melania.

One wrote on Instagram: "Just 2 tables away from the President, quite exhilarating!"

Another Instagram photo showed the President in a golfing shirt and Make America Great Again cap. It was not immediately clear when it was taken.

Trump has already made crucial decisions of his premiership from the Florida resort.

He was eating "the most beautiful" chocolate cake with the President of China when he gave the order to launch a missile strike on Syria.

This morning President Trump tweeted: "Happy Easter to everyone!"

He also responded to stories that he had refused to call China a currency manipulator.

He tweeted: "Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem? We will see what happens!"

His devotion to his resort comes despite Trump repeatedly berating Barack Obama for playing golf when he was in office.

Last year he tweeted: "While our wonderful president was out playing golf all day, the TSA is falling apart, just like our government! Airports a total disaster!"

In 2014 he wrote: "Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the US, President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter."

In 2013 he wrote: "President Obama played golf yesterday???"

And his now-press secretary Sean Spicer said in 2012: "Wish I could be on the golf course but have to work - must be nice to be President."

Tensions are mounting over North Korea's missile test last night, which the US and South Korea said failed.

Vice President Mike Pence branded the test a "provocation" as he addressed US troops today at the start of a three-day visit to South Korea.

Choe Ryong Hae, widely regarded as North Korea's number two leading official, has accused Mr Trump of "creating a war situation" on the Korean Peninsula by sending American forces to the region.

He was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We will respond to an all-out war with an all-out war and a nuclear war with our style of a nuclear attack."
