In-Town Pool Note #2: White House Departure

President Trump walked out of the White House at 9:50 wearing a blue suit sans tie. He gaggled for a few minutes, but over the roar of Marine One, your print pool reporter was unable to hear.

I'll get audio shortly and pass along quotes.

Trump was later joined by the First Lady, and together they greeted assembled well-wishers. POTUS paused briefly on his way to Marine One to point out the new flagpole to FLOTUS.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles also later boarded the helicopter.

Marine One is wheels up from White House at 10:00.
