WH out-of-town pool report #11 Trump begins speaking

President Trump took the stage at 4:23 pm ET.

Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” played and fireworks erupted in the sky.

There were then dozens of helicopters that flew over.

Trump is wearing a maroon hat, the color of Fort Bragg.

He was introduced by Secretary Hegseth, who gave short remarks on “restoring the warriors ethos” in the military and ending “wokeness” in the army.

Trump’s speech is live-streamed on c-span and other places, so I won’t be giving a full transcript.
