White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - WH travel pool 5 - color and event wraps
POTUS started talking at 4:11
He wrapped at 5:41 pm.
Many in the crowd remained on their feet three or four minutes into the event. Many also stood for trumps final riff.
The audience was a sea of red. Red caps. Red shirts. Some red blazers. Many of the caps were bedazzled.
A score board in the gym had “45” and “47” displayed as the score in yellow (perhaps gold) type face. The time was set as 20:26 (representing the year.) It was in red.
Some people held printed signs that said “no tax on social security.”
Two large screens hanging above potus on either side of the podium displayed the slogan “Golden Age of your Golden Years”.
Some in the audience drank were sipping water. It’s quite warm outside, but fairly cool in the gym.
Pool spoke with another attendee who said he went through mags and was wanded by security. But a third person just went through mags.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds was seated in the audience near the front and stood up and waved when Trump said he would make a great governor.
Byron Donalds left at 5:29 pm, and shook a few hands on the way out.

Event will be live-streamed. But will send color and reaction.
