Out-of-town travel pool #3– POTUS greeted in Canada/ lifts to RON

POTUS descended the stairs of AF1 at 8:52 p.m. donning an overcoat and a white “Make America Great Again” hat.

Two Royal Canadian Mounted police,“aka Mounties,” clad in their ceremonial uniform (Red Serge) stood at the foot of the stairs holding a United States and Canadian flag. Four total greeted the POTUS.

POTUS went down a line of greeters who’d gathered at the airport (see below) shaking hands and making small talk with each of them. One of the local tribal chiefs was dressed in a full head dress.

He boarded Marine 1, which lifted at 9:04 p.m.
