According to a White House pool report, Trump pointed around the room and asked reporters, “you guys know what this represents?”
“Tell us,” one reporter responded.
“Maybe it’s the calm before the storm,” Trump replied.
“What’s the storm?” another reporter asked. “On Iran? On ISIS? On what?”
“We have the world’s great military people,” Trump replied. “Thank you all for coming.”
Kristen Welker of NBC News asked, “What storm, Mr. President?”
“You’ll find out,” Trump replied.
