Trump Conceals Easter Golf Outing from Press Pool [View all]
On Easter Sunday, Trump departed the White House without informing the press pool of his destination, raising fresh concerns about transparency. According to pool reports, members of the in-town press corps were loaded into vans Sunday morning and began moving with the presidential motorcade before being told where they were headed.
Trump was briefly seen exiting the North Portico wearing a red and white “Gulf of America” hat, according to a pool report. While Trump hats may have been a clue about a potential golf trip, White House officials still withheld details of the destination even as the vehicles rolled out.
The motorcade arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, around 11:38 a.m., where the press pool was diverted to a separate location on the grounds and did not see the president exit his vehicle. Roughly four hours later, Trump departed the club without being seen again, and only upon returning to the White House was he visible to the pool, waving as he entered the residence.
Trump was not made available to the press for photographs at the club itself, shielding the nature of his Easter activities from public view. Social media posts from attendees later confirmed Trump spent the day golfing.
