The South African delegation pulled up to the North Portico at 12:03 and Trump stepped out seconds beforehand.
He answered two shouted questions as he welcomed the South African president.
He said his big beautiful bill is doing “Very well … it’s very close”.
As for the Pope’s brother, he’s a “Fantastic guy”
They walked inside the West Wing at 12:04.
