According to the White House schedule, Trump starts Friday with “Executive Time” before two closed-door policy meetings in the Oval Office. That afternoon he departs for Charlottesville, Virginia, for a closed MAGA Inc. fundraiser dinner, possibly at Trump Winery, before returning to the White House. The exact venue is not disclosed.
Saturday brings another round of “Executive Time” before Trump departs for Miami at an unspecified time. That evening he is scheduled to attend UFC 327, confirmed by UFC CEO Dana White, who told streamer Adin Ross: “Yeah, it’s good to be back in Miami, we got the big guy coming on Saturday too.”
It will be the first sporting event Trump has attended since February, before the Iran strikes began.
UFC analysts noted that attending UFC 327 in Miami, a city where Trump historically polls well, serves as a soft launch ahead of UFC Freedom 250, a White House lawn event planned for June 14.

By Sunday morning, Trump is listed as holding “Executive Time” in Miami. The schedule does not specify a location, but this is not the first time Trump has used Miami weekend trips to golf at his Trump National Doral resort during the Iran conflict. In March he was filmed returning from a round at Doral wearing the same baseball cap he had worn the day before at a dignified transfer ceremony for American service members killed in Iran.
The weekend schedule omits precise departure times and exact venues throughout, marking a notable shift from past practice. Some have pointed out that the lack of transparency makes it impossible to confirm whether Trump is at his own resort, where his company profits from his visits, while troops remain deployed in the Middle East.
The Iran war has killed 13 American troops and thousands of Iranian civilians. The two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan is already showing cracks.
Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the U.S. of violating three clauses of the agreement, saying “the deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments, a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again.”
For context, Trump spent much of the early weeks of the Iran war posting apocalyptic threats on Truth Social from what appeared to be Mar-a-Lago and Doral. “A whole civilization will die tonight.” “Open the F—in’ Strait.” “Praise be to Allah.” All posted, apparently, between rounds.
