In town pool report #2: Trump signing

Hello,

Pool has not laid eyes on the president today. No events have been opened to the press.

The White House passed along a proclamation the president signed earlier this afternoon.

No update from the White House as to who the president pardoned this afternoon.

Here is the post announcing the pardons: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116857677816767526

The Beast is at the White House front door, indicating a motorcade ride later today to JBA before the president's event at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.

Best,
