The motorcade was rolling toward Trump Tower at 9:54. Trump left the game shortly after the pool, leaving his box at 9:40, according to a colleague still there. As we waited in the vans, Bill O'Reilly was stopped by police while crossing a street with barricades. "I almost got arrested," he told the press vans. He did not answer questions about a very long conversation we watched him have with Trump. Steven Nelson N…
The pool is heading back to the motorcade during the 7th inning stretch. As we walked through the stadium, Trump’s image again flashed on the screens. The section we were near (beneath Trump's box as we crossed the stadium) chanted, "USA! USA!" A few minutes later, he again was on the screens as we reached another section, receiving another largely favorable response. One woman or girl shrieked several times Steven…
The song "YMCA" played over the speakers around 9:20, prompting many audience members to do President Trump's signature dance moves while others did the traditional moves spelling the letters. A group of enthusiastic young fans near us pined for the president to join the fun. "Do the dance! Come on, Daddy!" a young man behind us shouted. Trump ultimately did do the moves, at least with his hands, to cheers from his…
President Trump was out of our sight for 46 minutes. He got up from his seat at 8:09 and walked inside, returning at 8:55. Closed doors made it impossible to peer in for most of the missing period. There are no new guests in the box and Trump is again sitting next to Yankees President Levine. We have no information on what he was doing. Steven Nelson New York Post
President Trump has spent much of the start of the game talking with Levine. He applauded Aaron Judge's home run and gestured to his arms while conversing with box guests before taking a seat. Bondi and another woman are seated behind Trump. Levine is to his left and across a set of steps are Bill O'Reilly and Reps. Stefanik, Lawler, LaLota and Malliotakis. A little more color on the locker room: Before the presiden…

The motorcade arrived at Yankee Stadium at 6:30. Two photographers rushed out of the vans to join President Trump for a locker room spray. Print, TV and radio poolers were not brought along, but apparently FNC filmed it. Apologies for the delayed pool report, we were asked to hold off. A smattering of apparent Trump supporters waved at the motorcade near the airport. We then passed traffic going in the opposite dire…

It could have been a mistake, but regardless I'm not happy about anything having to do with that situation."

I thought he was a…
