President Trump touched down at JBA in Marine One for his trip to Iowa at 12:27 PM EDT. He smiled and waved at press at the bottom of the stairs but did not stop to take questions. He gave a fist raise at the top of the stairs.
Following POTUS up the front stairs: Susie Wiles, Natalie Harp, Stephen Miller, James Blair.
Longe before the president’s arrival, pool saw SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler board the plane via the front entrance. She took a photo in front of AF1 with two other people who the pool did not immediately recognize.
We are on the big plane today. Wheels up imminently.
