Thank you mallyh and chelle7272

I think Trump's got lots of golf courses, hence the 'habitual'. It's not a great clue really, a little bit flat I felt.

I'm enlightened by this answer - I had invented a French expression en courte  with "enc" coming from an abbreviation used in a letter if something was enclosed (i.e. following) and "ourte" being an anagram of route (i.e. correct route).  All that imagination wasted 🤣

P.S. en courte meaning in court, reflecting his criminal convictions.

On course.  No idea why FOLLOWING CORRECT ROUTE was in upper case!

Yes, On a golf course, Mr Trump's other pastime.

Good start to the day Captain! Scroll!
