See this article: https://www.masslive.com/politics/2025/08/squashing-speculation-trump-spotted-golfing-at-virginia-club.html

A day after social media lit up with speculation about his whereabouts and his health, President Donald Trump was spotted playing golf Saturday with two of his grandchildren.

Trump left the White House around 8:45 a.m. on Saturday and arrived at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., around a half-hour later, USA Today reported, citing pool reports.

Air Force One flies out of Joint Base Andrews which is about a half hour drive from the white house. Therefore, they couldn't have gotten to the golf course in a half hour by flying on Air Force One.

Taking the helicopter would have made sense but they clearly didn't do that.
