Trump commended First Lady Melania Trump for her efforts in organizing and perfecting the public tours, which had been on hiatus during the presidential transition.
The president engaged with the group, joking about their potential future as presidents and encouraging them to enjoy the tour while drawing chants of 'USA!' from the crowd.
