Motorcade arrived at The Varsity, a retro looking joint serving American classics, at 3:17 pm where POTUS is expected to do a podcast interview.
On background, the upcoming podcast interview is with Josh Pate.
Drive was peaceful and warm here in Rome, Georgia at 75 degrees. Lots of on lookers waving to the motorcade from the street.
The closer the motorcade got to the restaurant the more people were crowded around. Lots of middle fingers pointed to the motorcade and lots of pro-Trump signs. Couple hundred people in total surrounding The Varsity.
