Previous note should have been numbered 24 — pooper regrets the omission.
POTUS exited Air Force One at 1849. He returned a salute from the Air Force greeter, turned towards pool but did not approach, mouthed something unintelligible, pumped his fist and then walked to Marine One. He was followed by Secretaries Bessent and McMahon, Karoline Leavitt, Walt Nauta, and other staffers.
Marine One spun up its engines and began rolling at 1853.
It was wheels up en route the Ellipse at 1855.
Handing off to in-town pool, good night!
