President Trump and Gov. DeSantis walked over to the press. Desantis showed off a gold coin he was giving to POTUS.

POTUS took a few questions.

“I’m the one that said do it,” POTUS said when asked about the DoJ case in Alaska. He said the other Dan Sullivan “has nothing to do with politics” and called it “disgraceful.”

POTUS on a report Tom Barrack said there could be a strike on Iran this weekend: “My ambassador of Turkey is a pretty powerful man I guess. If that’s the case, I don’t know anything about it.”

Motorcade is rolling to rally site at 2 pm.
