POTUS exited the plane at 4:55 PM EDT.
He responded to one shouted question about why he is not going to New York for 9/11.
"Because I'm going to the Pentagon," he said.
He repeated his answer when asked why he couldn't do both.
He did not respond to a shouted question about Ratcliffe.
He then walked over to Marine One, which took off at 5:02 PM.
One additional detail from earlier: Trump fundraiser Meredith O’Rourke was also spotted at the hotel today.
That's it from your out of town travel pool. A big thank you to all, especially Haley for her assistance.
