Supplemental pool report #3 — M1 lift

POTUS, wearing a dark suit and red tie, spoke to the press for roughly 5 min, before walking to Marine One and boarding. He lifted for Quantico at 8:39am

Highlights of the Q&A below, full quotes to follow.

Trump said they may fire “a lot” of federal workers if the government shuts down

On Gaza, the president said he would give Hamas “three or four days” to agree to the ceasefire

Will Trump launch strikes against drug gangs in Venezuela? “We’ll see what happens with Venezuela.”

Why gather all the generals for Tuesday’s speech/meeting/event? “These are our generals, our admirals, our leaders, and it's a good thing, a thing like this has never been done before, because they came from all over the world. And there's a little bit of expense, not much, but there's a little expense for that we don't like to waste. We'd rather spend it on bullets than rockets…

We have great people. We have our real warriors over there. And when they're not good, when we don't think they're our warriors, you know what happened? We say you're fired. Get out. We had some real bad ones. I rebuilt the military, the entire military, but I had a couple unbelievable people to do that. You have to. But I had unbelievable people in there. But I also had some bad ones at the top, like Milley, Mattis Adams, and Esper… what we have now is the best.. and if I don't like somebody, I'm gonna fire them right on the spot”
