President Trump walked out of the White House at 6:29 p.m., wearing a black coat and a blue tie.

He approached reporters and took three questions. Your pooler was on the other side, and could not hear questions and answers in detail.

He talked about the stock market, energy prices and inflation. He did not talk about the social media post depicting former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Marine One was wheels up at 6:37 p.m. en route to JBA where POTUS will depart for Palm Beach.

Handing off to travel pool

Good night!
