WASHINGTON – President Trump spoke for about four minutes on Tuesday afternoon. He made no mention of the Eagles.
At 3:03 p.m., with American flags waving and the United States Marine Band and Army Chorus offered as an opening act, Trump started addressing an invited crowd on the White House’s South Lawn without the Lombardi Trophy in sight.
There was a smattering of Eagles clothing among the guests – an Eagles cap here, an Eagles shirt there – but that was the only way of knowing that the Eagles were supposed to be appear with Trump on Tuesday while the replacement event took place.
