Pool Reports of May 23, 2020

In town pool report #1/ gathering

Good morning from the White House.

Pool is being gathered at the Palm Room doors at 937 am as a damp and cloudy morning gives way to beautiful blue skies.

More detail when we have it.

In town pool report #2/ rolling

The president's motorcade is rolling from the South Lawn at 952 am to destination TBD.

Pool briefly spotted the president leaving the residence in a white polo shirt and white baseball cap.

In town pool report #3/ golf

President Trump is returning to the golf course on this pleasant, sunny Saturday.

The president's motorcade arrived at Trump National in Sterling, Va., at 1027 am after a 35 minute drive along a route with sparse traffic but that was otherwise unremarkable. We did not see the president upon arrival. There were no protesters but several joggers and bikers outside the club.

I've requested details from the White House on the president's activities/ schedule today and will forward if those are forthcoming.

Pool was temperature checked but not tested for coronavirus. We are holding in the tennis pavilion.
