Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gaggled with reporters after at TV hit. On the tariff SCOTUS case: “It went very well. I think the Solicitor General has made a very powerful case.” Asked the plan B if SCOTUS rules against POTUS: “We’re not going to discuss that now.” Pool was only present for part of the gaggle. Pool is in vans headed to JBA to pick up POTUS. There is a bad weather call. It is very windy in DC. Her…

Speech continues. Full quote on New York was: “On November 5, 2024 the American people reclaimed our government. We restored our sovereignty, We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it, don't worry about it.” He came back to NY later, talking about inflation under Biden and saying: “You're going to see the same thing in New York, by the way… And I hope it doesn't happen, bu…

President Trump emerged at 1.41pm, walking through a tunnel of lights then walking up to the stage to the strains of ‘God Bless the USA’. He waved to the crowd then stood and acknowledged the cheers of ‘USA’ and applause. He’s speaking at a presidential lectern, with two presidential flags and two US flags, against a blue ‘America Business Forum’ backdrop and two screens showing him. He opened by saying it was a yea…

Pool was led into a huge, darkened arena where we’re told the Miami Heat basketball team play. Most seats are full. When we entered, life coach Tony Robbins was on stage, with a large ‘America Business Forum’ sign and two huge screens behind him, against a futuristic background of was meant to look like blue-tinted metal plating. Robbins was hyping up the crowd, who were all standing. He was talking about the attrib…

President Trump deplaned at 12.39pm. He waved to the pool but didn’t stop to gaggle, and ignored shouted questions including one about whether he was confident he’d win the SCOTUS tariffs case. He then got into the Beast as pool was hustled to vans. It’s warm but rainy. Also spotted on the tarmac: Jared Kushner and daughter Arabella, and Steve Witkoff. Witkoff briefly held a large black umbrella for them. He was als…

POTUS exited the Oval Office at 10:09 am. He waved and pointed at the pool - and shook his fist - but did not take questions. Aides with him included Walt Nauta and Natalie Harp. Marine One was wheels up at 10:14 am. Pool could hear construction noise in the background as we were outside for departure. Senators were seen walking down the colonnade ahead of POTUS’ departure. Handing over to the out of town pool. … Em…

The president spoke for 20 minutes. Here’s one more quote from POTUS on last night’s election: “And they say that I wasn't on the ballot was the biggest factor. I don't know about that but I was honored that they said that.” POTUS called for the filibuster to end: “If you don't terminate the filibuster, we won't pass any legislation.” He railed against Democrats as part of his appeal: “If I thought that they weren't…

POTUS on last night’s election: “Last night was not expected to be a victory. I don't think it was good for Republicans. I'm not sure it was good for anybody, but we had an interesting evening, and we learned a lot. … I will say a few remarks, and then after that, I will ask the press to leave. … We’ll have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented, and what we should do about it, and als…
