President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are waging war on the fraudsters and scammers who have looted hardworking Americans for far too long. Today, that war becomes fully transparent at fraud.gov — a new website where Americans can track every action, every takedown, and every dollar recovered as part of the unrelenting effort. The White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud is moving to shut off the mo…

Good Evening from the Ellipse where Marine One touched down at 11:41pm. President Trump exited Marine One at 11:45pm and left for the short ride back to the White House in the motorcade at 11:46pm. Pool is now on the short walk back to the White House.
AF1 touched down at 11:16 pm eastern time. POTUS disembarked at 11:26 pm. We had no gaggle from him during be flight.

At 4:21 pm the plane is taxiing. Flight to JBA is roughly 4 hours. One note to add to my supplemental color pool about the plane: it gets extremely hot on board before the plane starts moving and the AC kicks in. This was true at JBA as well, so it isn’t just during a heat event as we are having in Nevada.
Motorcade pulled up to AF1 at promptly 4 pm. POTUS was already walking up the stairs by the time pool left the press vans; the heat is still oppressive and a wing gaggle seemed unlikely. One quick note about the event: POTUS called out several midterm candidates, as well as the actor Dean Cain and Gov Joe Lombardo, and Tillman Fertitta.
At 3:37 pm PST, we are rolling to the airport. We are behind schedule.
POTUS started talking at around 2:10 pm PST, taking the stage to Lee Greenwood and standing until the song had concluded.

Topics he focused on included the MI senate primaries and specifically the winner in the Democratic primary, Abdul El-Sayed, No Tax on Tips, the tax cuts that were part of the OBBB last…
Since many people have asked this question since yesterday, here is a supplemental color pool about the interiors aboard the “bridge” Air Force One that was donated by Qatar.

At 1:31 pm EST, pool arrived with motorcade at Red Rock Casino. The ballroom where the event is being held in the cavernous casino with its brown-and-rust-colored rugs and high ceilings is full; your pooler is reluctant to attempt a head count but it's several hundred people. On the curtains are signs touting the Trump Accounts, No Tax on Tips, and a sign behind the podium that says, "Powering the American Dream." A…
