Air Force One was wheels down at 2:37 pm ET. No visitors and uneventful but bumpy throughout.
He is taking a motorcade back to the White House. M1 can’t lift due to Halloween event.
Wearing a red MAGA hat, Trump came off the plane, pumped his fist, and then slowly came down the stairs. He mouthed “thank you” but did not stop for questions about the shutdown.
He’s rolling at 2:49 pm.
The pilot said that they’d traveled for 41 hours total on this trip, covering 20,027 miles as the plane circumnavigated the globe.
That’s a wrap on this trip. Handing off to in-town pool. ✌️
