POTUS got off Marine One at 5:15 pm and got on to one of the backup helicopters, which is now Marine One.
He was wearing a red MAGA hat with his suit.
It took off at 5:19 pm and flew away. The helicopter with the flat tire remains on the tarmac.
Note: POTUS is going to Trump Doral for a dinner ahead of the LIV Golf Tournament. During his gaggle he said he would make a speech and the dinner was for charity. He also repeated his wish for LIV and PGA tours to combine and said he was working on that.
Pool is not going with him but is dead heading to Palm Beach on AF1. Pool will be present in Palm Beach when he lands there tonight after dinner.

Subject: FLOTUS Pool Report #2: FLOTUS remarks and awards
Sec. Rubio commended the awardees for their courage and thanked them for their work “securing a more just world.”
He gave a special recognition to
awardee Amit Soussana from Israel, who was held hostage by Hamas and shared details about sexual violence.
Rubio introduced the First Lady, who he called an “inspiration.”
Mrs. Trump began her remarks saying, “Throughout my life, I have harnessed the power of love as a source of strength during challenging times.”
“Love has inspired me to embrace forgiveness, nurture empathy, and exhibit bravery in the face of unforeseen obstacles,” she said. “Today, we celebrate courage – a strength that is based in love,” she said.
[...]
After the First Lady spoke, State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce announced and delivered the awards on stage along with First Lady Trump and Sec. Rubio.
Amit Soussana spoke afterwards and described her 55 days being held hostage and October 7.
“Today I understand the true meaning of freedom in a way I never had before…to see the moon and stars and to breathe, to choose one own’s life, those are things I will never take for granted,” Soussana said.
“For too many families there is no hope, only waiting, only longing,” she said.
Soussana called for the release of hostages. “I call on the world to act and bring them home now.”
As the women awardees — some of them dressed in colorful clothing showcasing their home cultures — exited the stage, they were given a final standing ovation.
The event concluded at 1:35p.

President Trump is joined in the Oval Office by Kid Rock for the signing of an executive order targeting unfair scalping of concert tickets:
"This is a great first step."
I find it notable that the Left/MSM seem very uninterested in Marine Le Pen being jailed and barred from office, as a top contender for France’s 2027 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the same Left/MSM had wall-to-wall 24/7 coverage about Navalny, and cried that Putin was a dictator. They worshiped Navalny for weeks, had a public NATO meeting already organized with his wife and made the entire thing into a massive spectacle, despite Navalny polling at less than 2%, and getting caught working with NATO intelligence assets…
If the Left/MSM actually cared about Democracy, they would be up in arms about Le Pen, but they are not. They only care about “Democracy” when it benefits them. It’s all theater. They are willing to jail political opposition when it’s in their favor.
This narrative that NATO are righteous defenders of democracy is an outright lie. France just proved it again today.
How can NATO claim Putin is a dictator that must be stopped, when NATO countries do far worse?
“Democracy” is an illusion.

Subject: in-town pool #4: Leavitt quotes on tariffs
ON WEDNESDAY'S LIBERATION DAY ROSE GARDEN TARIFF EVENT:
"The president will be announcing a tariff plan that will roll back the unfair trade practices that have been ripping off this country for decades. He's doing this in the best interest of the American worker."
ON THE DEPORTATION OF 17 ALLEGED TdA/MS-13 TERRORISTS TO EL SALVADOR:
"These are convicted felons, murderers, rapists who are no longer in our country and I think we should all be very grateful for that."
ANYTHING COUNTRIES CAN DO TO STAVE OFF TARIFFS?
"These countries have been ripping off our country for far too long, and they've made, I think they're disdain for the American worker, quite clear. If you look at the unfair trade practices that we have: 50% from the European Union on American dairy, you have a 700% tariff from Japan on American rice. You have a 100% tariff from India on American agricultural products. You have nearly a 300% tariff from Canada on American butter and American cheese. This makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported into these markets and it has put a lot of Americans out of business and out of work over the past several decades. So it's time for reciprocity and it's time for a president to take historic change."
Leavitt name-checked Secretary Bessent, Secretary Lutnick, Jamieson Greer, Peter Navarro, Kevin Hassett, Stephen Miller as contributing plans to the president to help formulate the tariff policy.

He boarded Marine One at 4:56pm. However, he never took off. It just taxied. Turns out his helo has a flat tire and cannot take off. It stopped further down the runway.
Stand by. Pool being held at a distance and we're waiting to see what happens.

First Lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the women who are being awarded with the International Women of Courage Awards, arrived on stage a few minutes ahead of schedule at the State Department. They were greeted with a standing ovation.
The 19th annual International Women of Courage (IWOC) Awards ceremony is honoring eight women from around the world who, according to the State Department, “who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership – often at great personal risk and sacrifice.”
This year, the Madeleine Albright Honorary Group Award is also being given to the “Women Student Protest Leaders of Bangladesh.”
The State Department showed a video at the start of the event introducing the awardees.
This is the fifth time Mrs. Trump has attended the awards ceremony. She is wearing a leopard print trench coat for the occasion.
Additional information about the awardees and their accomplishments here: https://www.state.gov/secretary-of-states-2025-international-women-of-courage-award-recipients-announced/

POTUS: "That's a big deal... a lot of people thought she wasn't going to be convicted of anything... that sounds very much like this country."
President Trump is taking executive action to protect fans from exploitative ticket scalping and bring commonsense reforms to live entertainment.
The Order directs the Federal Trade Commission to:
— Work with the Attorney General to ensure that competition laws are appropriately enforced in the concert and entertainment industry.
— Rigorously enforce the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act and promote its enforcement by state consumer protection authorities.
— Ensure price transparency at all stages of the ticket-purchase process, including the secondary ticketing market.
— Evaluate and, if appropriate, take enforcement action to prevent unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive conduct in the secondary ticketing market.
— The Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney General to ensure that ticket scalpers are operating in full compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and other applicable law.
— Treasury, the Department of Justice, and the FTC will also deliver a report within 180 days summarizing actions taken to address the issue of unfair practices in the live concert and entertainment industry and recommend additional regulations or legislation needed to protect consumers in this industry.
Press Secretary details the unfair trade practices that are hurting American business:
- 50% tariff from the EU on American dairy
- 700% tariff from Japan on rice
- 100% tariff from India on agricultural products
"This makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported into these markets... it's time for reciprocity."

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt gaggled with reporters for about 8 minutes following a Fox News hit.
She said the president's tariff rollout, billed "Liberation Day," on Wednesday would be the administration's 1st Rose Garden event with the full Cabinet in attendance.
Answering a follow-up question on tariffs, she said there would be "no exemptions at this time."
On National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and the state of the investigation into how Jeffrey Goldberg's Signal number got into an administration chat, Leavitt said: "Mike Waltz continues to be an important part of his national security team and this case has been closed here at the White House."
Leavitt also fielded questions on criteria used to deport alleged gang members, Trump's float of a third term and prospects of a peace deal in Ukraine.
