Good morning from a windy JBA, where there is a light drizzle and the temperature is a chilly 47 degrees.

Marine One was wheels down at 10:10am and President Trump emerged five minutes later and was handed an umbrella by the Marine who greeted him. He’s wearing a black raincoat over a navy suit and a baby blue tie with stripes.

POTUS was joined by advisers Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, Derek Lyons, and Jared Kushner.

Air Force One is rolling as of 10:20am. Our first stop of the day is El Centro, California. Estimated flight time is just under 5 hours.
