Hello and happy Sunday show day to all who celebrate — Your pool has been swept and wanded and we are currently staged in vans ready to join the motorcade whenever POTUS decides to get on the road. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent [EMAIL ADDRESS]
After making our way from West Palm Beach to Palm Beach at a rapid pace (not having to stop at red lights will do that) the pool vans split from the rest of the motorcade as it (including the Beast) entered Mar-a-Lago at 1518. There was a group of supporters along the causeway just before MAL with their usual flags flying. Your pooler was then informed that the press office has declared a lid as of 1521. Enjoy the r…
After a long hold in the vans outside our previous holding location, we are rolling as of 1509 ET. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent
Pool has loaded back into vans and is currently staged outside Trump International to await POTUS. Your pooler understands he played at least nine holes. POTUS has also issued several Truth Social posts about putting ICE into airport security ropes as well as one expressing happiness about the death of former FBI Director/ Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

POTUS’ vehicle and most of the motorcade pulled into Trump International Golf at 0920 after an uneventful drive. Pool vans have split off to our usual hold location across the street, where we will remain for the time being. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent

Greetings from Palm Beach, specifically the staging / inspection area across from MAL where pool has been sniffed and swept with magnetometers (by a dog and a human Secret Service agent, respectively). We are now holding in vans and awaiting POTUS. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent
The Beast passed through the gates at Mar-a-Lago at 1820 ET, at which point pool vans turned into the parking lot across from the MAL entrance. Having safely deposited POTUS at his place of abode for the evening, the White House informed pool that we had a travel/photo lid as of 1821 ET.

POTUS exited Air Force One at 1808. He carefully descended the air stairs (holding the handrail the whole way down), then waved and gave the pool a thumbs-up before getting in the Beast at 1809. Motorcade rolling at 1810. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent

Air Force One was wheels down at Palm Beach International Airport at 1755 ET. There were no visitors to the press cabin apart from the courteous and helpful Air Force stewards, though at 1723 a White House official provided pool with a printout of a Truth Social post, which the official said POTUS wanted us to see. I have attached a photo of the printout. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent
Highlights from the back of the POTUS gaggle on the South Lawn: Q: Countries are calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East and to reopen dialogue… “Well look, we can have dialogue, but I don’t want to do a ceasefire. You know, you don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side….We’re not looking to do that.” From here, POTUS moved further down, away from the pool camera, and it became much h…
Highlights from the first half of the more than 10 minute gaggle that President Trump brought Secretary of State Rubio along for on the South Lawn Q: Iran executed three people, you vowed strong action in the past, what message would you send: “We’ll be hitting them awfully hard. I don’t know if you can possibly get hit harder. But these are thugs and animals and horrible people…But I’m not surprised.” Q: Do you pla…
Air Force One is wheels up at 1619 ET. Next stop, Palm Beach International Airport. Andrew Feinberg White House Correspondent The Independent
The president went down a long line of reporters that wrapped from the Rose Garden all the way to the residence taking questions. Rubio also answered at least one. Much of what POTUS said was impossible to hear. He was asked repeatedly about NATO and Iran. These are now playing out live; I'll send some highlights once I get back inside. Trump and Rubio are in M1 now and taking off as of 3:55 pm. Francesca Chambers W…
Marine One was wheels down at JBA at 1603 ET. It taxied towards the VC-25A we will be using this weekend and stopped at at 1605. POTUS disembarked at 1608 accompanied by Secretary Rubio. They both walked to the plane accompanied by an Air Force greeter, who saluted POTUS at the bottom of the air stairs. He returned the salute, saluted the two Air Force sentries and boarded what is now Air Force One as of 1609. A Whi…
As Radical Left Democrats force the Department of Homeland Security shutdown into its 35th day, everyday Americans are bearing the cost. More than 100,000 DHS employees — including 50,000 TSA officers — are working without paychecks for the third time in six months, leading to skyrocketing resignations and massive callouts that have crippled airports across the country. Americans are suffering from Democrats’ contin…
