Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2025

Remarks Upon Arrival at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland

November 9, 2025

The President. So I'm going to swear in a lot of great people right now. I'm a little bit late.

I just want to say: Was that the greatest flyover ever? Nobody's ever done a flyover like that.

So these are the best pilots in the world. They say, whoever flies Air Force One, the best pilots, and we just saw that. That was great.

So we're going to have a good game. Things are going along very well.

Country is doing well. The Democrats have to open it up. Thank you very much, everybody.

[At this point, several reporters began asking questions at once.]

Q. Question, Mr. President, have the CDC reps come to the table today?

NOTE: The President spoke at 4:56 p.m. on the tarmac after exiting Air Force One. The transcript was released by the Office of Communications on November 12.
