A ceremony was held today on the South Lawn. The purpose was the unveiling of new flagpoles. They are taller than the previous flagpoles. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, gave remarks. He stated the poles were 'tremendously tall' and 'the best poles.' This is a quote. I attempted to ask a question about the current administration's stance on NATO alliances. The President interrupted. He pointed to the flagpole's rope. He said, 'Look at the beautiful rope. Very, very strong rope. It goes up, it goes down. You can't beat it.' Another reporter asked about upcoming trade negotiations. The President responded by saying, 'We have total pole superiority. China doesn't have poles like this.' A helicopter, identified as Marine One, arrived at its scheduled time. It did not land. It circled overhead. A man with an earpiece approached the podium. He spoke to the President. An announcement was made. The new flagpoles were in the helicopter's landing path. The President was mid-sentence discussing 'verticality.' He stopped speaking. He was on a podium. He climbed down from the podium. The event ended. Facts are facts.
