Air Force One touched down at Joint Base Andrews at 7:34pm after an uneventful flight. No gaggle or POTUS remarks on plane.

10 minutes later Trump deplaned, but answered none of the shouted questions about tweets and Puerto Rico.

At 7:50 pm he lifted off on Marine One, bound for the White House. With that, your travel pooler hands over to the in-town pool.

But here is more from New Jersey:
Trump made no remarks to press and ignored shouted questions as he boarded AF1 in Morristown, but he gave a thumbs up a few times as he crossed the tarmac.

Back at the tournament:
According to officials, Trump became the first sitting US president to present the Presidents Cup trophy.

For clarification, the foul-language by an attendee at Liberty National that I put in previous report came as Trump mentioned the island territory in his remarks.

Here are Trump's most relevant remarks.

On the players: "They're very talented, talented folks. And really they are people that have good hearts."

He congratulated the Internationals.
"You played very well today, by the way."

Then: "On behalf of all of the people of Texas, and... if you look today and you see what's happening, how horrible it is but we have it under really great control, Puerto Rico. And the people of Florida who have really suffered over this last period of time with the hurricanes," Trump said before presenting the trophy to US captain Steve Stricker.

"I want to just remember them, and we're going to dedicate this trophy to all those people who went through so much, that we love, that are part of our great state, really a part of our great nation," Trump said.

Back to golf:
"Our team USA -- wow did you play well."

"To both teams, congratulations. And to Team USA that was unbelievable playing. You're great champions."

That's it. Thanks so much for letting me share this weekend with you...
