President Donald Trump’s team rewarded MAGA fans waiting to see him outside his West Palm Beach golf club with hot dogs on the Presidents’ Day holiday.
Trump spent more than five hours at the property on Monday, as he spent the long holiday weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort after traveling to the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
Among those waiting to catch a glimpse of the president on Monday was former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was pardoned alongside other January 6 participants, and is now planning to run for public office.
Tarrio and other Proud Boys members posted pictures and video of themselves – with the hot dogs – across the street from Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.
‘You guys ever seen a terrorist threesome?’ Tarrio said in a video clip, showing himself and two other Proud Boys. ‘One, two and the prettiest one – three,’ he said, having the camera linger on his own face.
In another video, Tarrio prodded the other Proud Boys with a bun-less hot dog.
Trump got out of the Beast and gestured toward the crowd from the tree-lined driveway of the West Palm Beach club – prompting cheers and screams from his MAGA faithful.
He also waved to his supporters from the presidential limousine as it whizzed by them without further stopping.

In the past, Trump has sometimes stopped and handed out MAGA merchandise to waiting fans.
After Trump was nearly killed at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July, a potential assasin was found lurking on the West Palm Beach property.
Trump pardoned Tarrio and others imprisoned for January 6 related crimes during his first day in office – a controverisal move as he didn’t differentiate between violent and non-violent offenders.
Tarrio, who heralds from nearby Miami, was sentenced in September 2023 to serve 22 years in prison after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy for helping plan the January 6 attack.
Two weeks after leaving prison, Tarrio was a guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
Tarrio told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly earlier this month that he believed he had a future in politics.
‘I think I’m gonna take a serious look at running for office at some point in 2026 or 2028, and I believe that there is a path for that because it is my passion,’ he said.
Tarrio had advertised that he and other members of the Proud Boys would be outside Trump’s golf club ahead of the event.
‘Tomorrow the Boys will show up to show love to the man who freed us!’ he wrote in a post Sunday.

Also on Monday, Trump spoke briefly by phone with French President Emmanuel Macron as European leaders fret over a deal being etched for Ukraine between the U.S. and Russia.
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead a delegation and meet with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the U.S. looks to make a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine – which was a key Trump campaign promise.
The planned bilateral talks have unsettled European leaders.
‘Today President Donald J. Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron had a friendly call,’ a White House official said in a statement after Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago for the night.
‘The leaders talked about the Ukraine War, the upcoming meeting of European nations tomorrow, and the talks in Saudi Arabia between U.S. and Russian officials,’ the official said. ‘The call lasted approximately 30 minutes.’
