President Trump's presence in the Chicagoland area brought crowds of supporters and protesters. President Trump paid a visit to the Medinah Country Club on Sunday for the last day of the Presidents Cup, serving as the honorary chairman. His presence in the Chicagoland area brought crowds of supporters and protesters. Mr. Trump's arrival began with a flyover above the country club about an hour and a half before players teed off. "You'll be seeing the best players, the best golfers anywhere in the world," he said. The president spoke briefly with reporters at O'Hare before he was driven to the Presidents Cup tournament, where a group protesting the president and one supporting him were dueling outside the premises.

"Giving the message that Trump is not welcome here in Illinois, in Chicago, in Medinah, in Addison – all of our neighborhoods," said Allison Galvan, executive director of Grito Latino Addison Community Center Inc. "We want to give a voice and say, 'Not everybody in Illinois is a radical leftist,'" said Terry Newsome. Local police kept an eye on the groups, which did get a bit tense at one point this morning when participants crossed the street to the other side. Once inside Medinah Country Club, Mr. Trump came to the first tee box area and stayed there for his entire stay
