Travel note 8: Memphis Safe Task Force event / POTUS enters

After a very short walk and multiple attempts to set up WiFi, Pool is now set up at the back of an empty Air National Guard hangar where a stage has been erected for the law enforcement roundtable.

Members of the task force entered to applause, while National Guard soldiers who'd been seated on bleachers set up on either side of the stage stood once the task force entered the venue and sat at their places on stage.

The audience appears to consist mostly of National Guard MPs (identifiable by their MP patches) along with some federal law enforcement (including at least one wearing a windbreaker that indicates the wearer is a HSI agent).

Trump entered the venue at 1139 CT to "God Bless the USA" and applause.

The event is being livestreamed/broadcast at all the usual spots.
