Trump spotted at US Women’s Open
President Trump made an appearance at the U.S. Women’s Open on Friday, waving to tournament attendees from a glass observation room amid wet weather.
The golf tournament is being held at the president’s Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. Trump arrived at the property after returning from Paris earlier on Friday, where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and attended Bastille Day celebrations.

Spotted with Trump in the observation area was his second son Eric Trump, according to a press pool report. Crowds were told by course organizers to keep their voices down because of the ongoing tournament nearby.
The U.S. Golf Association awarded Trump National Golf Club the bid to host the tournament in 2012. Trump’s presidential candidacy prompted some to urge the USGA to move the event, though it ultimately declined to do so.
