On the one-year anniversary of the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump was back in his home state to headline the America Business Forum.
On Nov. 5, 2024, or Election Day, Trump was surrounded by family members at his election night party at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida in one of the most amazing comeback stories in U.S. history.
A year later, it’s a different story.
On Wednesday, Nov. 5, the 47th president was the headliner at the America Business Forum at the Kaseya Center in Miami − with some Trump family support in the crowd. Nov. 5, 2025, also marked a record as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. (The previous record was 35 days long in 2019 during Trump’s first term as the 45th president.)
Trump had returned to Florida to speak at the America Business Forum at the Kaseya Center, the home arena of the NBA’s Miami Heat franchise. Other headliners of the business and tech forum? Global soccer star Lionel Messi, Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, JPMorgan Chase Chairman Jamie Dimon, tennis legend Serena Williams and Argentina President Javier Milei − nicknamed “El Loco” and often referred to as “Trump’s favorite president.”
Trump returned to Washington, D.C., after his speech in Miami, but he is expected to fly back to Florida on Friday, Nov. 7. It will be his 13th visit this term to his private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Since Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump has visited his home state of Florida 15 times.

Since President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, which also was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, life for the commander-in-chief has been busy. From Jan. 20 to Nov. 6, for example, Donald Trump visited his home state of Florida 15 times and his private club and primary residence, Mar-a-Lago, 12 times. The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, was closed for the social season and reopened in October.
In addition to his presidential duties, traveling and legislation, Trump has made time for significant events in sports including Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana; the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida; the NCAA wrestling championship finals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the 2025 LIV Golf Tournament at his golf club in Florida, UFC fights in Miami, Florida; FIFA Club World Cup in New York, New Jersey; “Trump Scotland” press events; and “Trump crime speech” in Washington, D.C. Members of the Trump family have attended these events, but the entire Trump family clan has not been publicly seen together since the week of Inauguration Day festivities. That includes all five Trump children, Melania Trump and her father, Viktor Knavs.
