Out-of-town note #7 - airport arrival

Motorcade pulled into PBI at 5:16pm and to AF1 a minute later. POTUS was up the stairs at 5:18pm.

The direct sun is less intense and many more people were out now filming the motorcade's passage.

One group of about 10-15 people were holding up pro-Trump signs on the sidewalk. "Keep our President safe," was one.

Another group of about a dozen was anti. They were holding up signs as well.

"Shame." "Lies." "Traitor." "Corrupt Russian stooge."

I am pretty sure Rubio's plane is now gone, but I can't see the whole airport. We're hopping out and onto the plane. POTUS waved to the press and then used the short steps. A White House official said ongoing construction at the airport meant that he had to use the short steps for security.

Elon Musk followed behind him.
