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…

The rally is inside an airport hangar with scores of supporters in both the audience and in the stands behind and to the sides of the stage, where VPOTUS will speak momentarily. There are big navy blue signs that say “RESTORING COMMON SENSE” and “DEFEND OUR FUTURE” with USA and Montana flags.
Interior Secretary Burgum began speaking at 11:55 a.m. MT ahead of VPOTUS remarks. He gave shoutouts to sev…

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…
President Donald J. Trump is delivering an America First surge of manufacturing, energy, agriculture, semiconductor, shipbuilding, and national security investments that are bringing production home, expanding domestic capacity, and locking in American jobs. These commitments build on the trillions in private investment the Trump Administration has secured since taking office — proving that when America puts itself…

Air Force One landed at Andrews at 7:21 pm. Uneventful flight and no visitors.
President Trump descended from the front of the Qatari AF1 at 7:34 and lifted back to the White House at 7:38 on one of the new Marine One’s. Your pooler was glad to be of service, and is headed home.

POTUS finished up the rally at about 5:15 pm. He had an enthusiastic crowd throughout; there was one protestor, at the beginning, who was led out. Trump was on his game, didn’t repeat stories, seemed to draw strength from the crowd. In addition to his Islamaphobic lines about El-Sayed, note his claim that he ‘got” Greenland.

POTUS left the airbase as shouting a few lines at your pool that we couldn’t make out, but seemed to be along the lines of “Big Rally.” Drive in was unremarkable; a smattering of protestors.
As the motorcade drove down I-94, one protester was standing outside of her car directly next to the police roadblock on set up on the northbound entry ramp from Gratiot Ave. The woman was waving a handmade, poster board sign re…
Gas and diesel prices will soon drop rapidly thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s bold actions to unleash American Energy. On day one, the Trump Administration began dismantling the failed Biden-era anti-energy policies, cutting red tape, and ending the Democrats’ Green New Scam agenda.
Today, under President Trump’s leadership, America is producing record amounts of oil and natural gas while expanding domestic ref…

AF1 landed at Selfridge Air National Guard base at 1:38. Uneventful trip on the new, Qatari-donated AF 1, your pooler’s first chance to test out the comforts of the new plane and press area. (Better seats, more legroom, better screens, based on three decades of riding the older Boeings.) No visitors.

On María Corina Machado/Venezuela:
"She's a very nice woman. She gave me her Nobel Prize, so how can I say anything else? And I hope she's safe, she's a very nice woman. But we're doing really well in Venezuela."
On Brazilian election: Who are you endorsing?

Good morning from Joint Base Andrews. The President landed in Marine 1 at 12:19 and came over for a brief gaggle. We will get you the Otter, but highlights:
On el-Sayed: “We don’t want to see a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in our Senate.” Says “Mike Rogers “is apple pie, , perfect guy” for the job
He said the rallies are helping, “I think we’ve really turned it around.”
“I think Ohio is amazing.”
