Marine One touched down at Fred W. Smith International at 7:29.
Under a moon one day shy of its full Hunter’s glory, POTUS climbed out of the helicopter and walked to the steps of the plane. Small, rippled clouds above.
Salute to airmen at base. An acknowledgment to the pool but no gaggle.
Pool boarded at 8:35 and we are taxing at 8:40. Wheels up shortly.

President deplaned at 4:44, came down the steps, returned salutes on the tarmac and then walked some sixty yards Marine One (which looked like a 60) and entered. We are now lifting.

Hello from the POTUS motorcade. I am taking over from the in-town pool for today’s trip to Corinth, Mississippi.
CNN was slated to be TV pool today, and Politico was slated to be print pool. Both outlets were blocked from travel by the White House. In the absence of the TV and print poolers, Axios will support coverage of the president by sending updates from the secondary print seat.

VPOTUS took the stage at 12:42 p.m. MT to enthusiastic applause from the crowd, many of them wearing red MAGA hats.
He began his remarks by noting that Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., had complimented him on his eyes. VPOTUS said: “We’re not afraid. We’re self-confident men … the president’s been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately.”
Today, President Donald J. Trump returns to the Magnolia State to highlight a proven record of results that put Mississippi workers, families, seniors, farmers, and communities first. Under the leadership of President Trump and Republicans, Mississippians are benefiting from historic tax relief, surging private investment and job creation, stronger rural healthcare, major support for farmers, and new resources for t…

AF2 was wheels up at 9:40 am ET and wheels down at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport at 11:32 am MT. Your poolers saw a glimpse of VPOTUS, talking to other passengers, near the front of the plane as we were preparing to take off but otherwise, uneventful flight.
The pool is not gathering underneath the wing to watch VPOTUS disembark AF2 because we were taken to the motorcade for the brief d…
