Trump has always been insanely jealous of the picture of President Obama in the Situation Room when Osama Bin Laden was killed.

These latest pictures are a pathetic attempt to copy/eclipse the Obama ones.

Foreign policy as photo op?

Trump posting pictures on Truth Social of the temporary situation room he appears to have run the Maduro operation out of at Mar-a-Lago, including one with a very large "OSINT" account up in the background https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru

What does hegseth see? Trump's eyes are barely open. And can anyone interpret Ratcliffes body language? The pictures all look so set up.

A situation room requires a hardened, access-controlled facility: classified-rated construction, no exterior windows, soundproofing, secure communications, TEMPEST shielding, armed access points, cleared personnel only, and constant monitoring. Curtains at Mar-a-Lago donâ€™t qualify.
