President Trump is officially on vacation, but he tweeted Monday morning that he’s working from his golf club in New Jersey.

Working hard from New Jersey while White House goes through long planned renovation. Going to New York next week for more meetings.

In a flood of tweets, Trump also blasted “fake news” while insisting his base of support remains strong in the Republican Party despite a report in The New York Times Sunday that Republicans, including Vice President Mike Pence, are positioning themselves to run in 2020.
