Where is Donald Trump today? On the golf course

President Donald Trump is just fine, he said in a message to followers
Sunday afternoon as he returned to the White House from a day at his
Virginia golf club.
“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” he on Truth Social — a nod to the
swirl of weekend speculation about his wellbeing.
That capitalized missive was followed by a steady stream of social
media posts Sunday evening and Monday morning — on everything from
India tariffs, Covid vaccines and crime — before he returned to Trump
National Golf Club for Labor Day.
Trump made 26 public engagements last month — most recently, a
three-plus-hour Cabinet meeting last Tuesday where the president
fielded questions on topics from Taylor Swift’s engagement to global
conflicts.
So it was certainly unusual when, for three weekdays at the end of
August, Trump’s public schedule went uncharacteristically dark.
There were no events on his schedule last Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday, and the president spent his Labor Day weekend in Washington
also with no public appearances scheduled. The conspicuous absence lit
conspiratorial corners of the internet and group chats ablaze with
questions.
But on Saturday, he emerged, spotted by pool reporters in a white polo,
black pants, and signature red “Make America Great Again” hat on
the way to his Virginia golf club. Grandchildren Kai Trump and Spencer
Trump were also along for the ride. He returned to his club on Sunday
— posting an undated of himself seated in a golf cart during a
matchup with former football coach-turned-Barstool Sports personality
Jon Gruden — and again Monday.
The White House press office often boasts of Trump as the “most
accessible” president in history, tweaking his predecessor as they
highlight his significant engagements with the press. As questions
arose about the president’s activities and whereabouts, a White House
official said Friday he was holding standard policy and staff meetings.
He also sat for an hourlong interview with the conservative publication
Daily Caller.
“He’s very much alive!” Daily Caller White House correspondent
Reagan Reese said in a to social media previewing her interview – a
nod to intense conjecture amid the very online set.
During his first term, Trump, like his predecessors, took a summer
vacation. He spent extended periods at his Bedminster, New Jersey, club
in the month of August – 14 days in 2017, 15 in 2018, 14 in 2019, and
7 in 2020, during the Covid pandemic.
But the president has eschewed a lengthier respite this time around. He
has spent six weekends in Bedminster since Memorial Day, plus a weekend
at his Scotland golf property and 17 visits to his Northern Virginia
golf course, including this holiday weekend.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the online rumor mill generated
intrigue amid broader concerns from the public about presidential
wellness. Trump, at 79, will be the oldest president in history at the
end of his term. And President Joe Biden was wracked with inquiries
about his fitness for office, eventually prompting his withdrawal from
his reelection campaign.
Images of Trump’s bruised hand prompted some speculation earlier this
week, something the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella,
dismissed as “minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking
and the use of aspirin.” The White House in July that Trump had been
diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, after he was seen with
swelling in his legs.
Trump, Barbabella said at the time, “remains in excellent health.”
