President Donald Trump is floating a new kind of presidential getaway, and yes, it involves one of his golf courses.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump backed a proposal to use his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, as a Camp David-style retreat for future U.S. presidents, calling the idea "a great idea."

Trump Backs New Presidential Retreat

Trump said military and Secret Service officials had raised the proposal, pointing to the golf club's proximity to an airport, limited nearby homes and its security features.

"It's about as safe as they could possibly get," Trump told reporters. "It's only about two minutes away from the airport … and they could spend the weekend there, like a retreat, like a sort of Camp David retreat."

He noted the property has no houses or high-rise buildings overlooking it, which he argued would make it easier to secure a presidency.

And he emphasized that the proposal would not be limited to his own presidency.

"This wouldn't be for me. This would be for all future presidents," Trump said.

When asked whether the retreat would be called "Camp Donald," Trump said, "It's already called Trump International. It's one of the best golf courses in the world."

Trump Golf Club Retreat Proposal

The proposal called for creating a Camp David-style presidential retreat at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to The Washington Post.

An attorney for the Trump-owned golf club asked the Palm Beach County Commission to consider providing a parcel of county-owned land to the federal government for the retreat.

Trump's Golf Club History

Last year, Trump inaugurated a new golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, ahead of the inaugural Nexo Championship, as Nexo expanded its golf partnerships and sought to reconnect crypto finance with mainstream institutions.

In 2024, Trump was escorted to safety after a shooting incident at his Florida golf club. A Secret Service agent fired at a man reportedly carrying an assault rifle near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

The suspect fled but was later captured, and authorities recovered the rifle. Trump later reassured supporters, saying, "I AM SAFE AND WELL!"
