WH out of town pool report #8/ POTUS speaks briefly but does not take questions

POTUS descended the staircase of Air Force One at 4.56pm, walked over to reporters and spoke for about a minute, mainly about the flyover of the Commanders’ stadium.

“Nobody ever got a flyover like that,” he said. “So these are the best pilots in the world. So we're gonna have a good game.”

There was brief mention of the shutdown and Democrats needing to open the government. More to follow.
