Melania Trump entered the assembly hall at 10:06 am and took her seat on the sidelines. FLOTUS is wearing a white pants suit with a beige top.
Seated at the U.S. table in the assembly hall is Susie Wiles, Steve Witkoff, Mike Waltz, Chris Wright, Scott Bessent, and Marco Rubio.
Assembly hall is full with people lining the sidelines.
POTUS entered at 10:08 to applause. He started off by stating the teleprompter isn’t working and joked the person working it is in “big trouble.”
There was laughter in the room at his remark.
POTUS: “I don’t mind making the speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working. … I can only say whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.”
