President Donald Trump got a salute as his motorcade drove through Washington, D.C., on Thursday evening, but it wasn’t one of a military nature.
A pool report notes that the press accompanying the president spotted someone offering the passing motorcade a moon.
The pool report from Yahoo’s Hunter Walker states:
“As we rode up Connecticut Avenue, there were several clusters of onlookers. One group cheered the motorcade. A man with a baby on his shoulders waved. Just shy of Tilden Street, several of the riders in the press van reported seeing a man mooning the motorcade from one of the lower floors of an apartment building. One of our colleagues stated it was a full moon.”
It’s not clear if Trump witnessed the display.
Ironically, the full moon happened just hours after the actual new moon.
