As the pool waited outside the Oval Office for the event to begin, your pooler snapped a photo of the ongoing construction of the temporary UFC structure for Trump’s June 14 event.

There was one truck holding several large stacked panels and two orange backhoes. A black fence encircled much of the South Lawn. A few workers with neon construction shirts were walking around inside the fence.
