White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - 5/22 out of town pool no. 5 — details, color
POTUS waved to the gathered first responders as the motorcade went by. Some returned a wave or a thumbs up.
Lectern and teleprompter are set up in front of a banner that says “fighting for American workers.” Another sign says “New York welcomes President Donald J. Trump.” The score board is set to 45 and 47.
There was a spontaneous chant of “USA” between two songs “This is a man’s world” and “Rich Men North of Richmond.” Plenty of MAGA hats in the crowd.
Speech is imminent, streamed in the usual places.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - 5/22 Out of town pool report No. 6 — speech ends
NY Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart opened for POTUS, who walked onstage at 3:39 pmto “God Bless the USA,” gestured for the crowd to sing along.
Several protesters interrupted and were escorted out, including one who held a sign saying “Trump is a war criminal” and another who mentioned Jeff Epstein.
POTUS’s speech was live-streamed, but touched on a number of issues: the SALT deduction and other economic policies, but he also talked about “dirty” New York streets, transgender athletes and crime at drug stores. He jeered several of the protesters telling police to take one “home to mommy.”
POTUS spoke about his EPA executive order from yesterday and mentioned that he swore in a new Fed chair today, but didn’t announce any new policies.
He also called up Rep. Mike Lawler and gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who both gave brief remarks. He also called Sheridan Gorman’s family to the podium. They advocated for stauncher immigration policies.
POTUS ended at 5:09 pm. And we’re rolling
