Subject: Travel print pool report #6 - departure from Wisconsin
Motorcade departed Walker fundraiser at 6:17 PM local time. Pool did not see POTUS get into The Beast before departing.
As the press vans rolled out from the hotel, your pooler spotted Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke on the sidewalk. He saluted the motorcade as it left.
There were a smattering of onlookers standing on the sidewalks and snapping photos before we got on the interstate, which was closed to other traffic.
Motorcade arrived at the airport at 6:29 PM. A minute later, pool spotted POTUS clImb the stairs, turn and wave before boarding Air Force One. Reince Priebus and White House aide Reed Cordish entered the aircraft through the back staircase with other staff and media.
AF1 was wheels up at 6:38 PM en route to JBA.
*Subject:* *Travel print pool report #5 - Walker fundraiser *
Motorcade arrived at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee at 5:17 PM local time for a closed-door fundraiser for Gov. Walker.
Pool did not see POTUS or the governor exit their vehicles. Like this weekend’s fundraiser with Rep. MacArthur, pool is not being allowed into the event to cover any part of POTUS’ remarks, a departure from the practice of past presidents. We are being held in vans outside the hotel.
Pool has asked WH to provide details, including how many people are attending, ticket price, and how much money is being raised. Will update you if we get a response.
There is a group of roughly 100 protesters across the street from the hotel. Some held up large paper mache-like figurines of Trump and Walker. One sign said “Pay Your Taxes, Not Russia.”
