Second gaggle continued. On another question about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Signal messages:

POTUS: "We have the highest recruitment numbers I think we've had in 28 years. No, he's doing a great job. It's just fake news. They just bring up stories. I guess it sounds like disgruntled employees. He was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people and that's what he's doing so you don't always have friends when you do that."

On a question about visiting his golf course in Scotland:

POTUS: "We're opening a fantastic project... and I hope I'm going to get to see it. It's going to be great. Thank you."

On a question about Haitian immigrants finding it nearly impossible to go back to Haiti because flights have been suspended:

POTUS: "We have to have a safe country. If people are in the country illegally – and the people who have records that are very bad in particular – we have to get them out. I was, as you know, elected on the basis that we would have very little crime in our country... We closed up the border. The border's now the strongest border we've ever had."

Q: These are Haitians who came in legally through that Biden-era programme. There are communities, even in Texas, conservative voters, who say these people should not be forced to leave.

POTUS: "Well, if they came legally then they're going to be in good shape."

Q: You talked about Jesus in your opening statement. How important is this country right now [inaudible]?

POTUS: "It brings the country together. It's so important that we do that. Religion. I said bring religion back. Religion keeps it together. Such a great thing."
 
POTUS walked to the Oval Office at 11.45am.

POTUS held gaggles at two separate press risers during the White House Easter Egg Roll. Your pooler was at the second one. Here is a first round of quotations from that:
 
Q: How are tariff negotiations going?

POTUS: "I think they're going very well. We're going to make a lot of money. We're already 25% on cars and aluminum and steel. Taking in a lot of money, more money than this country's seen. And that's just the beginning."

Q: Are you going to go to the Pope's funeral?

POTUS: "I don't know yet. We're going to be briefed on it right now."

Q: Would you like to go?

POTUS: "I don't know, I just have to look at the timing. We just lowered the flags throughout the country."

Q: Is there a proposal from the United States that Ukraine recognise Crimea as part of Russia?

POTUS: "So I will be giving you a full detail over the next three days. But we had very good meetings on Ukraine, Russia. We had very good meetings, actually, on Iran too. We'll see how that works."

Q: What's the next step there?

POTUS: "The next step is we need a little time but we had very good meetings on Iran and the tariffs are going very well. Everybody wants to negotiate."

Q: How are you going to remember Pope Francis's legacy?

POTUS: "He's a very good man who loved the world and he especially loved people that were having a hard time and that's good with me."

Q: He preached tolerance for migrants. Do you agree with that?

POTUS: "Yeah, I do, I do."

Q: Pete Hegseth. Do you still have confidence?

POTUS: "Here we go again. Just a waste of time. He is doing a great job."

Q: Why do you still have confidence?

POTUS: "Because he's doing a great job. Ask the Houthis how he's doing."

Q: There's a hearing today on the Alien Enemies Act in the DC District Court.

POTUS: "I was elected to clean up the mess in this country. We had millions and millions of people come in who are criminals, who are murderers, who are everything you can imagine. Drug lords, drug dealers. They came in from prisons and from mental institutions. And I was elected to move them out, among many other things. And that's what we're doing."

POTUS walked a line of reporters taking questions. He said he does not yet know whether he will attend the Pope’s funeral. He expressed confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and criticised the “fake news” media. On the question of whether Secretary Hegseth is doing a good job, POTUS remarked: “Ask the Houthis.”

Listen very carefully to what @amjadt25 (UAE expert on middle eastern political affairs) says about the MB. —what's baffling, is that many western "experts" think that they know better.

POTUS emerged from the front entrance of the golf club, stopping to chat with several unidentified people near the entrance. 

Elon Musk was there, standing shoulder to shoulder with the president. He did not join the motorcade and stayed behind at the club. 

Motorcade is rolling at 4:16. POTUS waved to pool vans as the Beast passed.

For those who don’t understand Trump’s methods, let me explain.

Trump is “highballing”.

It’s hardball tactics. When Trump wants to make a new deal with someone, he makes sure he has leverage, so he threatens them with the economic action via tariffs, or even military action.

Trump leads with an unreasonably high opening offer, and then he pulls back and comes to a more reasonable position, to make it appear that he has made concessions and that the opponent has gained something from the negotiations. When in reality, Trump got exactly what he wanted all along, if not more, while appearing to have compromised, because he started negotiations from the most extreme of the spectrum.

Imagine you’re trying to sell a hypothetical house. You would be okay with selling it for $500k. But do you list it at $500k? No. You list it at $750k, then when someone asks you to drop the price, you drop it to $600k, and they feel like they’ve got a deal, and you’ve actually made more than you were expecting. Aka, highballing. Trump is billionaire real-estate mogul from New York City. He has been doing hardball tactics his entire life.

Trump does the same exact thing as POTUS, just on a far more extreme and larger scale.

-threatens economic/military action
-puts enemy in bad position
-they are willing to give up more in deal
-Trump “compromises” but still gets what he wanted all along

He literally wrote a book about maximizing leverage and creating urgency to win negotiations. It’s called “Art of the Deal”.

Trump does not want war. He does not want chaos. He wants new deals that are beneficial for the American People, because we have been getting ripped off for decades.

That’s what’s going on. Trump is doing what he does best, making deals.

Good afternoon, everyone. I’ll be the print pool reporter as Vice President Vance and his family travel to Italy and India.
 
Marine Two landed at Joint Base Andrews at 4:52 p.m., roughly half an hour after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni departed. The American and Italian flags were flying outside the terminal here today.
 
VP Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance and their children Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel exited Marine Two and the two youngest sprinted ahead, running up the steps of Air Force Two alone, wearing what appeared to be pajamas ahead of the overnight flight. Ewan followed close behind them while the vice president and second lady chatted with Air Force personnel as they approached the plane. The vice president gave a quick wave before boarding Air Force Two. We are due to depart shortly.
 
Next up is Rome. I’ll update you, of course, when we land. Ciao.

The signing of executive orders turned into an impromptu press conference. The entire event that lasted a bit longer than 34 minutes, according to your pooler’s recorder. 

[...]

Some highlights: 

—Trump commented on the SCOTUS decision to accept a case on birthright citizenship. “You are just telling me that for the first time. I am so happy. The case has been so misunderstood. That case, birthright citizenship, is about slavery.”

—He declined to answer a question about whether he would ask the Salvadorian government to return Abrego Garcia, again saying that his lawyers are handling. 

—Asked whether he wanted to change gun regulation after the FSU shooting, he said, “I’m a big advocate of the second amendment. I have been since the beginning. I have protected it. These things are terrible.” He said “we will have more to say about it later.” 

—He confirmed that he planned to go in September to Great Britain to meet with the king. 

—He said the Nippon steel day could be part of the tariff negotiations with Japan “but I doubt it.” 

—Asked about the discussions at the IRS punishing Harvard by removing its tax exempt status, he spoke at length about pastors he had dinner with Wednesday night who told him that they believed they had been politically targeted by the Biden administration. “We are also finding that many people just having to do with Trump support have gone through hell. They have used the IRS for purposes of something that is very illegal. It’s a very illegal thing that they did.” If that is wrong, why are you considering changing tax status of Harvard. “Because I think Harvard is a disgrace. They are obviously anti-semitic, and all of a sudden they are starting to behave.” He also said that his understanding was no final decision had been made on the tax status of Harvard. 

--When asked if there were other non-profits he was considering investigating, he mentioned CREW, a litigation group that has resisted his administration, as a possible target. “It’s supposed to be a charitable organization, the only charity they have is going after Donald Trump. So we are looking at that.” 

—He did not disclose whether he had or had not had conversations with President Xi over tariffs. Lutnick praised Trump for forcing every country in the world into negotiations. "We are confident that we will work out something with China.” Trump then said the US was talking with China. “I think we have plenty of time,” Trump said. Trump said he thought there would a deal with China, “I would think over the next three to four weeks. “We have a big beautiful store and everybody wants a piece of that store.”  

—"We have a deal for TikTok but it is subject to China so we will delay it until this thing gets worked out,” Trump said. 

--After extensive discussion of fishing regulations in the South Pacific with the fishermen, he signed the order and the Samoan guests sang him a short song. “We have the greatest coast in the world. We have the greatest fishermen in the world,” Lutnick said.

—Trump then signed a second order on fishing related to regulations closer to the mainland. 

—Navarro promised him another document to make increase access to lobster fishing off the coast of Maine by next week. “We will have that on your desk next week, I promise,” Navarro said. 

—Alex Bruesewitz, a new media consultant for Trump’s political operations, stood in the back of the Oval, with other White House staff.
