Trump has been to his golf club in Virginia 11 times as president -- and beyond the Mississippi once
By Philip Bump July 5 at 5:08 PM
As I write, President Trump has just arrived in Poland for a brief visit before traveling to a Group of 20 summit in Germany. It is Trump’s second visit to Europe as president, the visit coming at the tail end of his trip to the Middle East in May.
That means that, as of writing, Trump will have been to Europe twice as many times as he has been to the west of the Mississippi River.
It’s a pretty remarkable little detail. The president of the United States has not only been across the traditional east-west boundary of the continental United States only once during the first six months of his term, but, when he did, he was fewer than 50 miles beyond it.
You can see that one trip to Iowa on the map above, but the point is made more clearly on the map below.
