POTUS arrived at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va. at 10:32 a.m.
Pool photographer flagged that the president appeared to be talking on speakerphone as he departed the White House, with the phone held about two inches from his ear and the iPhone’s speakerphone button visibly engaged.
Traffic was sparse en route. One man walking a white dog stopped to watch the motorcade go by as we headed north from the highway to the club. Man was impassive. Dog was a patient good girl (or boy).
We will settle into our hold for the day.
