U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the White House on Saturday following an afternoon at his Sterling, VA, golf course
Donald Trump was spotted returning to the White House shortly after having lunch at his Virginia golf course on Saturday, just hours ahead of sanctioning fresh strikes on Iran.
The U.S. president was dressed head to toe in his usual golf gear as he made his way back inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but it wasn’t long before he was back to conducting his usual presidential duties as the U.S. military launched a second round of strikes against Sirik, an Iranian port, on Saturday night. It comes as Trump was accused of a “very unhealthy” relationship with his blonde 34-year-old aide.
It comes just days after President Trump once again failed to resist talking about his physical health and golfing ability as he spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania this week, bizarrely claiming that he could compete with UFC star Bo Nickal in a wrestling match.
According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), forces conducted additional strikes against multiple targets in Iran at the direction of the Commander in Chief on Saturday — just hours after the U.S. struck Iran on Friday in response to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Hours before the operation went down, however, Trump had been spending the afternoon at his golf club in Sterling, VA, with images capturing him both leaving and returning to the White House.
Wearing his usual white “USA” cap and white polo tucked into his black trousers, Trump headed for his luxurious resort at Lowes Island in Potomac Falls, VA, late Saturday morning for a MAGA Inc. Lunch.

Images captured by Reuters then show the president’s motorcade of at least 10 vehicles driving him to his National Golf Club, which is often the most expensive part of his golfing excursions — millions, precisely — and all paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
Trump then returns a few hours later, following lunch, offering a wave to the media standing outside the White House fence as he does so, before disappearing from sight.
It comes almost exactly one month after the 80-year-old was believed to have spent back-to-back days at his Virginia golf club at the end of May, infuriating Americans once more as he took his golfing tally for the year to 26 days
The latter day saw him accompanied by a mystery blonde aide, with the White House refusing to comment when the Daily Mirror asked about the identity of the young female.

Trump’s Sunday session also came just hours after he conducted an astonishing six-hour social media posting spree targeting political rivals, featuring his usual array of AI slop, memes, and self-aggrandizing fan tributes.
Of course, it wasn’t long before the former property tycoon opted to cool off with a trip to one of his many luxurious golf resorts, with The Daily Beast reporting he departed for Trump National Golf Club in Washington for the second day in a row on Sunday.
According to didtrumpgolftoday.com, a website tracking the president’s golfing habits — highlighting just how much of a laughingstock it has become among Americans — Trump has cost taxpayers $162.4 million on his golf trips since returning to office in January 2025.
It comes after a chilling discovery was made at the bottom of the Washington DC Reflecting Pool that exposes Trump.
