POTUS pulled into the Trump International Golf Club at 8:44 am. Streets were mostly empty along the way. Close to Mar-a-Lago two men waved small Trump pennants. Across from the club entrance two MAGA-hatted men filmed on their phones. AP could be spotted on duty standing behind them.

Your pool had an uneventful hold as POTUS golfed at the Trump International Golf Club. We watched POTUS's interview with Maria Bartiromo, which aired at 10am and was recorded Thursday. POTUS declined to rule out a recession: "I hate to predict things like that," he told her. You can watch the full interview at Fox News. Just before we loaded the vans in preparation for POTUS's departure, Karoline Leavitt popped by o…

Good morning: we're saving daylight but spending sleep. No overnight executive action spared pool this early wakeup. After a fresh attempt by AP to join the pool that was denied, we departed the press hotel under cover of darkness, rolling toward Mar-a-Lago at 6:39am. We held in the MAL parking lot while the sun rose. Pinks and oranges supplanted the darker blue. There was a light haze with little breeze. The birds…

@realDonaldTrump The House and Senate have put together, under the circumstances, a very good funding Bill (“CR”)! All Republicans should vote (Please!) YES next week. Great things are coming for America, and I am asking you all to give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the Country’s “financial house” in order. Democrats will do anything they can to shut down our Government, an…

The winning never stops as President Donald J. Trump and his administration continue to make progress reversing the damage of the past four years and shepherding the country into its new Golden Age. Here is a non-comprehensive list of wins for the American people in week seven: Illegal border crossings in February fell to the lowest level ever recorded, down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high…

Motorcade returned to Mar-a-Lago at very high speed, prompting your pooler to remember to buckle up. The hot day appears to have kept onlookers inside with the AC, though one guy in flip-flops filmed on his phone as he stood outside Walgreens. Arrival at MAL at 1:29pm. Your pooler has inquired about POTUS's golf result but has not received a definitive answer. We are holding in the MAL parking lot again. Michael Bir…

POTUS departed the Trump International Golf Club at 1:23 pm. Motorcade is rolling. Earlier, a dump truck sounded its air horn as it rumbled westward past the club's entrance while POTUS was within. As pool waited across the street prior to POTUS's departure, we spotted a bald eagle circling above the club. About half an hour later, what appeared to be a hawk careened back and forth just to the east of where the eagl…

After a peaceful hours-long hold in a library conference room, your pool was hustled into the vans at 11:19am as POTUS finished his rounds of golf. While holding, your pool feasted on massive donuts thoughtfully provided by the AP. They were a multi-sensory experience, filled with surprises. We are now sitting in the lot across from the Trump International Golf Club awaiting POTUS's departure. A cyclist wearing full…

Streets were largely empty as the motorcade rolled to Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. We did not spot POTUS. His motorcade drove into the golf club at 8:17am. Today is the men's club championship and POTUS has an early tee time. We have diverted to our hold across the street from the club at the Palm Beach County Library.

Good morning from Palm Beach. Pool was rolling from our hotel at 6:35am, just as the sun rose over Palm Beach. Some lovely pastel pinks reflected in the water. Prior to departure we witnessed AP approach, be turned away, then retreat into Schr�dinger's pool duty, here and not here at the same time. Their ban remains. After screening at a Mar-a-Lago parking lot, we pulled up to stage outside the club at 7:04am. Motor…

Motorcade made its way to Mar-a-Lago, arriving at 8:18 pm. We passed several clusters of supporters along the way, each a couple dozen people. Some were waving blue Trump flags. One person was blasting "YMCA" loud enough to shake our press van. Pool is holding in the Mar-a-Lago parking lot as POTUS and team have proceeded onward into the club. Please forgive the earlier autocorrect error. It was of course Walt Nauta…
EXECUTIVE ORDER By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose.

Walt Maura walked out at 8:04pm and deposited a binder on the seat of the Beast, then walked away to a staff vehicle. POTUS walked out of AF1 at 8:06pm along with Viktor Knavs. Elon Musk trailed behind several steps. POTUS pumped his fist at the pool, and got into the Beast. We're on the move.

We are wheels down at PBI at 7:53 pm. An uneventful flight to Palm Beach, with no one coming back to speak to the press onboard Air Force One. There was some light turbulence in the early portion of the flight; it tussled our drinks but left them unspilled. Fox News was on for the duration of the trip. Howard Lutnick managed the feat of being somewhere up front on the plane and on Laura Ingraham’s show on our screen…
