In-town pool report #15

POTUS talked about voter ID, transgender people, immigration, the border, tax cuts, the stock market— contrasting his policies and goals with what Democrats’ policies.

The aesthetic: Yellow cushions on the chairs and yellow umbrellas. Yellow roses in small bouquets on the tables. Yellow tablecloths on a couple of tall bar tables. A bar topped with a striped yellow awning that reads “White House BBQ Sauce.”

We are at 40 minutes. The President started speaking at about 7:09pm.

Apologies for the absence of a time stamp in earlier report.
