The motorcade arrived at the East River helipad at 1844 after a quick run down a closed off FDR Drive. Again crowds on surface streets holding phones, presumably taping video.

Last night, President Donald J. Trump released newly declassified intelligence that had been hidden from the American people for years. The documents reveal that foreign adversaries, led by China, have compromised U.S. voter data on a massive scale and that America’s election infrastructure remains dangerously vulnerable to hacking and manipulation — intelligence that officials deliberately suppressed. Radical Left…
“This has been a tournament like no other.” He talks about calling Infantino to “lodge a complaint” about the red card received by the US star that was rescinded by FIFA soon afterward. Said this is the “golden age” of America and cites his $19.2 trillion of foreign investment figure again. Said France seemed to have been doing so well but then couldn’t beat Spain. “You're hot, and then you're not.” Trump finishes b…

Pool was brought into the building at 1715 and to the atrium of Trump Tower, which had been partitioned to create a small auditorium. There is a small stage and a lectern bearing the presidential seal. To its right (left, from the audience) is a table or counter bearing the World Cup trophy. There are 288 black wooden chairs arranged in rows of 18, with an aisle running down the middle. Pool is the back. Beach Boys…
The president’s motorcade arrived at Trump Tower at 1559, where he is to give remarks at a FIFA World Cup reception. Trip uneventful. Streets lined with bike rack barricades and people watching with phones held up. At least one gentleman saluted us with a raised middle finger. Pool vans too far back in the line and (apparently one block over) to see him emerge from the limo. CSpan is listing the event for 1720, and…

Here’s what they’re saying: Vice President JD Vance: “Election integrity is not a partisan issue…
Marine 1 set down on the taxiway at Andrews at 1410. The helicopter rolled to a stop about 50 yards ahead of AF1 and the president emerged at 1414. He ignored the press pool waiting just ahead of the wing, climbed the steps, pumped his fist and stepped aboard at 1416. We are flying the 747-8 that the president solicited from the Qatari royal family, that he intends to take with him when he leaves office and which ap…
