Most people at the event were not able to talk or take a picture with Trump, the interlocutor of journalists who present at the event was regretfully told. The president hastened to leave the event without talking with the press.

Another visitor to the event expressed disappointment from the meeting. It was originally planned that it would be possible to take memorable photos at each table, but this did not happen. The president made a short speech, and then, dancing, he left the room, expressed dissatisfaction with the participant of the event.
