Subject: In town pool 2 NORAD Santa tracker event + Trump quote on shutdown
First Trump on shutdown:
“Nothing new on the shutdown. We need more security”
So it was the night before Christmas, and all through the White House...
It’s Day 3 of the partial government shutdown. POTUS has been Tweeting all day on various and sundry topics (“I am all alone”) including news that he just let a contract for 115 miles of “the Wall” in Texas. (See your Twitter feed).
In the first public event of the day, POTUS and FLOTUS invited pool at 6:30 pm to witness them participate in NORAD Santa Tracker phone calls from random kids around the country.
We were ushered into the State Dining Room, where POTUS and FLOTUS day at chairs and tables with separate phones before a crackling fire.
Trump made his shutdown remarks to pool as we were ushered out.
