Oh, there’s no place like home around the holidays, especially if you’re President Donald Trump.

After a bruising week in Washington,Trump flew south with the snowbirds to escape not just the biting cold but also the bitter politics of impeachment.

On Friday, two days after being impeached by the House, the president was welcomed home to applause by a who’s who in MAGA world.

The conservative group Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Saturday brought his biggest supporters to town at a historic moment in his presidency, and Trump was happy to see his old friends from New York back in Palm Beach for the holidays.

The weekend seemed designed to boost the president’s mood — the chance to air his grievances and give a speech to a friendly and enthusiastic audience of young supporters, golf with friends like conservative radio firebrand Rush Limbaugh and PGA player Jim Herman, and mingle with his biggest fans in the lavishly decorated halls and ballrooms of his resort.
