President Donald Trump made his return to the White House Sunday evening aboard Marine One, landing on the South Lawn at 10:19 PM on what was described as a chilly, mostly clear night in the nation's capital.

A Dramatic Return

In classic Trump fashion, Marine One flew past the illuminated Washington Monument before touching down on the South Lawn. The President emerged from the helicopter three minutes after landing and made his way toward the South Portico entrance.

True to form, President Trump acknowledged the press pool with a wave – but he wasn't about to give the mainstream media the soundbites they were desperate for. Despite reporters shouting questions into the cold night air, the President kept moving, focused on the work ahead.

Notably, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accompanied the President back to the White House. The presence of Lutnick – the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO who has been a key player in Trump's economic agenda – suggests important business discussions may have been taking place over the weekend.

This could signal major economic moves on the horizon as the Trump administration continues its America First policies.

While the mainstream media will no doubt spin this as Trump "dodging" questions, we know better. This President has never been afraid to speak his mind when he's ready. He simply doesn't operate on the press corps' schedule – he operates on America's schedule.

What exactly do they expect him to tell them? Every detail of private government business so they can twist it and leak it to hurt America?

Good! Trump doesn't owe the corrupt media anything. They spent years lying about him, so why should he give them the time of day?

Exactly right. Let them scramble for once instead of getting everything handed to them.

Lutnick is a solid choice for Commerce Secretary. The man knows how to get deals done and won't bow to special interests like the previous administration did.

The media is having a meltdown because they can't control the narrative anymore. Trump's playing this perfectly - keep them guessing and focus on actual work.

They're so used to being spoon-fed talking points. Now they actually have to do real journalism for once!
