Subject: Travel Pool Report 9/Crosby event starts
President Trump took the stage at 4:03 in a very warm, warehouse-type room.
He walked on stage to the song “God Bless the USA,” joined by men in hard hats. He received a roaring applause.
The event feels very much like a campaign rally, though it officially is an executive order-signing event.
It appears networks will be carrying his remarks live.
Before taking stage, Trump spoke with a group of men outside the building, looking at pipelines laid out on the ground. Their conversation was inaudible, but Trump turned to reporters and said, “great people!”
Subject: Travel Pool Report 11/Houston arrival
The motorcade arrived at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Houston at 5:15.
The pool did not see President Trump enter the building, where he is scheduled to hold a roundtable with supporters and dinner fundraiser.
We drove past Air Force One on our way to the venue, which is very close to the runway of Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base.
