Earlier, president, nearly 79, held lengthy Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk
Wearing just a MAGA hat and an overcoat to keep himself dry, President Donald Trump capped a long day by talking to reporters for over six minutes in the pouring rain without an umbrella Friday night as he returned to D.C. from a trip to Pittsburgh where he held a rally with steel workers to celebrate his deal to save U.S. Steel. Earlier in the day, Trump, who turns 79 on June 14, held a lengthy Oval Office press conference with outgoing DOGE chief Elon Musk.

Upon his arrival at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland just outside of Washington, D.C., Trump walked over to reporters and took over a dozen questions covering U.S. Steel, Elon Musk, sanctions on Russia, Gaza ceasefire negotiations, trade deals, the G7 summit in Canada next month, Susie Wiles hacked phone impersonations and Chinese college students’ visa worries. Trump also commented on the administration’s fight with Harvard and brokering peace between India and Pakistan.
Trump liked the questions by Real America’s Voice reporter Steve Gruber. At the end of the gaggle, Trump asked him who he was with. Gruber shook Trump’s hand and gave him a pat on the back as Trump headed to the waiting Beast.
Trump landed around 9 p.m. after a line of strong thunderstorms that spawned several tornado warnings had moved through the D.C. area. The temperature was around 60 degrees.
