POTUS emerged from the Oval Office at 3:42 pm and walked down the sidewalk, waved and pumped his fist at the media hordes standing a distance away. He did not respond to, and probably couldn’t hear, shouted questions. As he approached Marine One, a cheer went up from the large crowd of well wishers lining the driveway east of the portico. Following behind were Natalie Harp and Steven Cheung. POTUS is en route Joint…

Good morning from the White House. The 1 pm EO's are still closed press, but quite possibly could switch to open press. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, we in the West Wing are being serenaded by loud drilling, banging, and jackhammering. Some of us went to take a peek outside, from the ramp toward upper press: A platoon of workers are redoing the plaster wall along the colonnade off the Rose Garden. Linda Feldmann Washington…
It’s the Trump Effect in action: gas prices this Memorial Day weekend will be the cheapest since 2021 — and “if you adjust for inflation and rising wages, Americans are actually going to spend the least amount filling up this Memorial Day since 2003, excluding COVID,” according to GasBuddy . The national nightmare that was Biden’s war on American energy is over. After President Donald J. Trump declared a National En…

Marine One touched down on the South Lawn at 8:28 pm. The president disembarked after talking to the M1 pilots for what seemed like a long time; He was standing, bent over, with his head in the cockpit, clearly engaged in conversation for about a minute. He held the handrail as he exited the helicopter and pumped his right fist a couple of times to the press as he crossed the lawn. POTUS did not stop to chat with re…
