Marine One landed at 9:03p here at JBA.
The president stepped off the chopper at 9:07p, and was followed by his family: Donald Trump Jr., Bettina, and three grandchildren.
The president walked over to the press for a short gaggle and talked about going to Ireland for meetings with European leaders, including “Ireland and lots of others.”
Trump said Irish Open is going to be “great.”
When asked if he thinks he got his message across to voters in Dallas, Tump said “I think I did, Dallas was a tremendous success.”
Trump said he thinks they’re doing “fantastic.”
“I believe, you never know, statistically when you’re the president, Democrat or Republican, weird things happen in the midterms,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to have a great win in the midterms.”
Other aides, including Walt Nauta and Natalie Harp arrived by the second helicopter.
We are taking off shortly and won’t have wifi. I have not received a full list of travelers from the White House.
Next note will come from Dublin!
