The president is seated to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to his right, and first lady Melania Trump, to his left. Hegseth is occasionally turning to the president to speak to him. The president stood up at 6:33 pm and saluted for several seconds as the WWII segment of the parade got underway. He sat down, briefly, and stood up again, as the 82^nd airborne division passed him.
He was seated again as of 6:36 pm, when the Sherman tanks came through.
Although his expression is hard to see from where pool is seated, he could be seen smiling a minute ago (thanks to camera zoom feature) as he talked with the first lady.
