In-town pool #4: Gaggle cont'd - FLOTUS, Starlink

President Trump said he believes he and the first lady will vote tomorrow in Florida.

Asked whether FLOTUS will be a part of upcoming trilateral peace talks between Russia and Ukraine: “No. It’s not the worst idea I’ve ever heard.”

Latest on press secretary search: “We’re in no rush.”

On who ordered Starlink access to be limited in Ukraine: “I wouldn’t tell you if I did know … If there is a problem, I’ll get it straight.”

Re: whether he spoke to Elon Musk: "I have not spoken to him.”

He called recent reporting on Jared Kushner’s banking activity “a false story.”

After Vice President JD Vance declined to do so, POTUS said he'll leave it up to Vance whether he wants to endorse Benjamin Netanyahu.

On his reaction to Amy Acton’s mother standing by Acton’s stepfather who was charged with raping her as a child: “You don’t know that. You don’t know anything.” Said Acton’s mother “looks very smart, actually.”

Re: Republicans like Ashley Hinson denouncing the Ramaswamy ad: “They don’t know the facts."
