Trump lies about why he's staying at his golf club in New Jersey

Today Donald Trump tweeted this, apparently as a response to the criticism he generated for spending the weekend in his golf club in New Jersey and claiming it was to save money, since flying him and the Secret Service to New Jersey is NOT cheap:

The reason I am staying in Bedminster, N. J., a beautiful community, is that staying in NYC is much more expensive and disruptive. Meetings!

That's false. First, because it's not less expensive to fly Trump and the Secret Service to New Jersey. Second, because Trump is running ads on TV promoting his New Jersey club, which means he's using the White House to promote his private business.

And third...

That's right. Trump went to play golf.

So the "meetings" excuse is bullshit too. He could have had the meetings in the White House and save money on flights.
