Speculation ran rampant when former President Donald Trump made an unannounced appearance in the Washington area on Sunday. He had visited D.C. just once since leaving office.
Now, thanks to a social media post from the former president, we know exactly why he arrived in the vicinity of the nation’s capital.
Freelance journalist and YouTuber Andrew Leyden, known as PenguinSix, broke the news Sunday evening before it was picked up by numerous additional reporters and outlets. Leyden even captured footage of Trump exiting his plane upon arrival at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Much of the speculation centered on the notion that Trump was visiting Washington for legal reasons in light of the long-running congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion and the Aug. 8 FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Despite all of this, as it turns out, Trump had simply visited the area to play some golf.
“Working today at @TrumpWashingtonDC on the Potomac River. What an incredible place!” he wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform Monday.
Indeed, the former president owns an award-winning golf course, the Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C., in Potomac Falls, Virginia.
There was a tipoff in Leyden’s footage of Trump exiting his airplane: He could be seen wearing golf shoes.
