Subject: Out-of-town pool report #4: Roundtable ends

Roundtable discussion ended with POTUS signing the executive on commercial fishing at 3:11 pm. (See pool report #3 for info on the order.)

We are heading to the helicopters for the trip to Guilford and the swab factory tour.

More color from the event:

A couple of lobster cages and buoys were piled on the floor to in front of POTUS during the event.

POTUS and the participants did not wear face masks during the discussion. But seats were arranged to observe social distancing.

Audio was difficult to hear, but POTUS threatened to place a tariff on EU autos if the bloc does not remove tariffs on U.S. lobsters. He complained that the EU does not charge Canada a tariff on lobsters that come out of the same waters.

“This country is being treated so badly on trade,” he said.

POTUS slammed Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who asked him not to make the trip to her state. “She doesn’t know what she’s doing,” he said. “She’s like a dictator.”
