Story highlights For six straight weekends during his first two months in office, Trump has spent time at properties that bear his nameThe visits blur the lines between Trump's responsibilities as President and his ability to benefit his family's empireWashington (CNN) President Donald Trump pledged during the campaign that he would divorce himself from the day-to-day operations of his businesses. But for six consecutive weekends during his first two months in office, the President has spent time at properties that bear his name -- including a visit Saturday to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, for meetings. The visits are not out of the norm for the President, who was known to regularly frequent his holdings when he was a private citizen. And they don't violate the promises Trump made about not having a hand in the operation of his old business. Each visit Trump makes to one of his hotels or golf courses serves as an invaluable product placement opportunity for a business whose bottom line, in the end, benefits the President and his family.
