Subject: In-town pool report #2: Golf club arrival
Motorcade arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, at 9:58 a.m.
There were a handful of onlookers as we drove onto the property.
One man walking his dog gave a thumbs down as the motorcade drove by.
On one side of the street near the entrance to the club were three Trump supporters. One man was flashing thumbs up and another saluted.
On the other side of the street were a few protesters holding signs. One read “SCOTUS not drinking your Kool-Aid?” and another read “WOAT Worst of All Time”.
Pool is now holding at a strip mall just up the street. Your pooler will ask the press office about the president’s activities while at the golf club.

Motorcade pulled out of Trump National Golf Club at 2:10 p.m. The president was there for roughly four hours. The White House has not provided any info on his activities, but NBC News cameras captured the president on the course, per this tweet: >https://twitter.com/KellyO/status/1281963164993814528< (applewebdata://06CADC87-C0AA-48A5-82C5-2D9C5A1CF924/%3Ehttps://twitter.com/KellyO/status/1281963164993814528%3C)
A mix of roughly 20 supporters and protesters gathered outside the entrance to the golf club to greet the motorcade. The scene was quite spirited while pool waited for the president to depart.
One supporter was particularly animated, repeatedly clapping and chanting “keep America great” and “four more years.”
Protesters at one point chanted “136,000 dead, bounties on our soldiers’ heads.”
There were a few new signs added to the mix. One read “I beg your pardon I want you out of the Rose Garden.” Another banner said “Putin’s Apprentice.” One sign said “130K deaths.”
A Jeep drove by with an American flag and a Trump 2020 flag. It made several loops up and down the road outside the property, slowing down each time it passed.
Law enforcement walked over just before the motorcade left to ask the demonstrators to back up from the road slightly. The group complied without issue.
