Arrived at Trump National Golf Club at 12:56 p.m. Ride was uneventful aside from one driver who attempted to merge onto the highway with the motorcade and was pulled over. Several GW graduates were taking photos outside the White House and offered a middle finger to the motorcade. Pool did not see POTUS. We are holding in the tennis club.
