Travel Pool Report No. 1 - stop with supporters

President Trump's motorcade departed Trump National Golf Club Bedminster at 2:11 p.m.

At 2:20 p.m. the president stepped out of this SUV. "Thank you," the president could be heard saying. He wasn't wearing a mask and had a white ballcap on. He tossed out red hats to a group of 50 or so supporters gathered behind a large white banner with red letters that said: "thank you Mr. President for making America great!"

As of 2:21 p.m. we're already back in the press vans and rolling. More details TK.

President Trump exited Marine One at 4:30 p.m. He's still wearing the white ballcap and a suit. He gave a thumbs up and mouthed something to the pool, but unclear what he said. He's with Jared and Ivanka, who was wearing a white and pink floral outfit.

The president emerged from Air Force One at 5:28 p.m. He's still in the ballcap. He again gave a thumbs up and mouthed something inaudible to the pool.

He was followed off the plane by John McEntee and then Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. None were wearing masks.

During the flight, part of the pool was able to spy Ivanka Trump wearing a face mask on board the plane. She didn't have one on when she arrived.

Thanks to co-pooler Toluse Olorunnipa for the assistance during our quick stop in Bedminster today.

Turning it over to the in-town pool. Have a great Sunday night, all!
