Pool Reports of August 23, 2025

In-Town Pool # 1 - Departure for Trump National upcoming

Good morning colleagues!

It's a very sunny and mildly warm Saturday at the White House.

Pool moved onto the South Lawn at 8:37 a.m. and currently in press vans behind motorcade waiting for President Trump to exit White House. 

We are heading to Trump National this morning.

In-Town Pool #2 - Motorcade rolling

POTUS exited White House at 9:05 a.m. wearing white polo shirt and white cap and black trousers.

Motorcade began moving shortly after. 

Your pooler noticed some construction on the South Lawn and was told my WH aide that it is related to sewage and not the president's proposed ballroom.

In-Town Pool #3 - Trump National arrival

President's motorcade arrived at Trump National 9:39 a.m. Your pooler spotted him leisurely enter the property at 9:41 a.m. 

It was a pretty uneventful, yet speedy ride. Some motorists and pedestrians were seen filming and waving at the motorcade. One person gave a thumbs up, while another flipped the bird.

The pool is moving toward the tennis courts.

In-Town Pool #4 - Departing Trump National

President Trump's motorcade is now moving and heading back to the White House.

After a little more than 5 hours (and catered Chipotle), the pool moved back into the press vans at 3:03 p.m. and held by the front entrance of the club until President Trump exited and entered his SUV at 4:21 p.m.

Pool spotted several supporters with a Trump flag and paraphernalia on the sidewalk as motorcade left the property. 

While at the tennis center earlier, pool noticed that the patio furniture there appeared to be the same furniture now on the White House South Lawn.

In-Town Pool #5 - WH arrival/Lid

President Trump's motorcade returned to the White House at 4:59 pm. Your pooler saw POTUS exit shortly after arrival at 5:01pm and enter the residence.

Lid was called at 4:59 pm.

To clarify from pool note #4, your pooler meant to say the patio furniture appeared to be the same that is currently in the *Rose Garden*, more specifically.

That's it for me, folks! Have a great Saturday.
