Out of town pool report # 5 - POTUS at summit

At 5:32 POTUS entered the room, to great applause. He soaked in the warm welcome on stage, waiving at people and softly swaying to the song “God Bless the USA.”

He began his remarks by saying “thank you very much, a lot of rich people in the audience.”

POTUS then pivoted to the war in the Middle East. He said Iran is no longer a “bully” in the region. “They are on the run,” he said.

Will send more color. Again, remarks are being live-streamed.
