I love how you just refuse to believe that he was actually at the beginning of a 6 mile ride back to his office rather than the short hop to the White House that the lying people who posted this video claimed. There's nothing logical about that--anything that doesn't fit your narrative is fake news, we get it.
And yes, we know it's a photo op. Due to the crazy people, he and the entire cabinet need to be followed around by Secret Service so he really isn't saving energy, etc. when he rides through DC. I like the photo op, it's not like he's trying to fake heroism or something, just sending out a message this is a good thing to do.
