The White House released a photo showing President Trump and top cabinet officials and advisers receiving a briefing at 9:15 p.m. Thursday on the U.S. missile attack on a Syrian airbase. The officials are in a secure room at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

I’m surprised by the number of people in the inner circle. Some that don’t seem to have a lot of direct responsibility with military, defense, or national security functions.
They like to remain anonymous. Ollie North used to be one of the unidentified GIs in White House photos until events changed things.
Prolly running a save the doggie ad.
Oh no! Bannon snuck into the room!
I think what’s happening with Kush.. is DJT has him on training wheels. At 30-ish, he was raised in wealthy captivity and hasn’t developed a soul yet. Probably all other world leaders have punks they’re trying to raise up in their admins, too.
This young chimpling is powerless in the face of Silverbacks Bannon and Tillerman. If he keeps up the attitude, DJT will likely make him sit in the corner at the next dust-up.
Steve Bannon doesnt look demoted to me.
Notice Trump is not hiding back in the corner like Obama did on the Bin Laden raid. He is clearly in charge and getting answers from key people.
He is likely the President’s Air Force Aide. Each service provides two officers as Aides to the President and VP. If you go back to the photo of Obama’s team at the Bin Laden raid, an Air Force Officer is working the computer keyboard while Obama sits in the corner. Not so here.
Bannon is at the table.
I like your thoughts.... I hope you’re right.
Jared looks like he’s staring down Tillerson! OY VEY! they are the only 2 NOT lookin at the screen.
Jared is the only one to understand Trumps reaction is more important than the feed from the screen
Hah! We all see something different. I think he’s glaring at Bannon.
I’m waiting and watcing Tillerson..not sure what to make of him yet. I am sure though, that I don’t trust Ivanka and Kushner in such close proximity to the president
Thanks for the ping to 45
It is an interesting observation. We do need to bring new leaders into the fold. Trump is great at recognizing potential in people.
Jared-— the apprentice?
He had the opportunity to guide his three older children, but not Jared. Now it’s Jareds turn to learn at the feet of the master. Jared likes politics but had absolutely no background. He will by the time he finishes the program
One thing about DJT he seems to recognize potential and knows how to guide and influence each to their highest abilities.
And then to use each expert to fulfill the ultimate goal.
That’s why Kush needs to BEHAVE like a Silverback-in-training and not some hotshot Tony Stark. Publicly.
When he got up in zero’s face in HI, I knew we had protocol problems. Not that I disapproved, but it shouldn’t have made the news.
President Trump needs to bust out some walls get a nice 20’ table, some comfortable leather chairs and a 70” monitor. This room will not work.
He will never be head ape But he could become a decent rhino! Just needs yo not make an ass or baboon of himself.
Bannon looks emotionally moved by what he sees. He seems to wear his heart on his sleeve. Trump also appears intensely serious.
