He also said there was a 'great response' from Secret Service agents.
Security later returned to normal.
The First Family touched down in West Palm Beach on Friday afternoon and headed straight to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, for the fifth time since he took office.
This follows the revelation that a California man who scaled the White House fence on March 10 was on the property's south grounds for more than 16 minutes before he was captured.

Jonathan Tuan-Anh Tran, 26, who had two cans of mace and said he had an appointment with his 'friend' President Donald Trump, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for entering the grounds without permission.
The individual managed to climb over an outer perimeter fence, scale a vehicle gate and hop another fence near the southeast corner of the White House's East Wing before he was captured after his 16 minute-plus jaunt, according to the Secret Service statement.
'The Secret Service can confirm that at no time did the individual gain entry into the White House,' the statement said.

While Tran set off several alarms last Friday night, he avoided other sensors, highlighting 'vulnerabilities in the system', an anonymous Secret Service source told CNN.
Tran was spotted 'looming around' Pennsylvania Avenue nearly six hours before his arrest, CNN reported.
Trump was inside the residence at the time of the security breach, and House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz is launching an investigation into the incident.

Chaffetz detailed new allegations in a letter to the acting director of the Secret Service, writing that the triggered alarms were ignored, CNN reported.
The suspect 'may have attempted entry into the building' and 'may have moved around on the White House grounds undetected for a considerable amount of time,' he added.
Chaffetz said: 'If true, these allegations raise questions about whether the agency's security protocols are adequate.'
Chaffetz dubbed the incident 'a total and complete embarrassment'.
'(Homeland Security chief John) Kelly told me that this person was there on the ground for 17 minutes, went undetected, was able to get up next to the White House, hide behind a pillar, look through a window, rattle the door handle,' the lawmaker told CNN.
Tran was seen jumping a fence near the Treasury Building, eventually approaching the South Portico entrance, according to the arrest affidavit

Tran was seen 'walking from the east side of the south grounds of the White House Complex,' then 'walking close to the exterior wall of the White House Mansion ... approaching the South Portico Entrance to the White House Mansion,' the arrest affidavit states according to ABC News.
Security footage shows Tran jumping a fence near the Treasury Building, which adjoins the White House, the complaint says.
He set off a sensor alarm in the Treasury Moat, according to the Secret Service source, but Tran had already gone by the time an officer appeared.
The source believes Tran made his way past a several Secret Service posts and jumped the White House gate, hiding behind a pillar of the East Wing entrance, CNN reported.
He eventually made his way to the South Portico Entrance, saw a Secret Service officer in uniform and went towards the South Lawn, the affidavit reads.
That is when the officer stopped him, after which Tran said: 'I am a friend of the President. I have an appointment,' the complaint states.
When asked how he managed to get here, Tran replied: 'I jumped the fence,' authorities said.
Tran was carrying two cans of mace, a US passport, an Apple laptop, a book written by Trump, and a letter to the president.
In the letter, 'Tran mentioned Russian hackers and said he had information of relevance. Tran alleged that he had been followed, and his "phone and email communications (had been) read by third parties," and that he had "been called schizophrenic," ' Secret Service officer Wayne Azevedo said in the complaint.
Tran's 19-year-old brother told CNN the suspect had been fired from his job at an electrical engineering company and was 'troubled'.
He was living in his car, the sibling added, before calling Tran a 'very good brother'.

President Trump on Saturday commended the Secret Service for its 'fantastic job'.
'It was a troubled person,' he said about the intruder, whom authorities later identified as Tran. 'It was very sad.'
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters the agents did a 'phenomenal job' protecting the first family and said 'the president was very appreciative of their efforts.'
Agents previously said the president was not in danger, and the Secret Service initially reported that the backpack didn't contain anything dangerous.
'Nothing of concern to security operations was found,' the Secret Service said.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly was briefed on the incident, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
