Video from the breakfast shows Kelly and other senior officials appearing to react to the comment. Kelly pursed his lips and looked away from the president.
Facial expression experts who analyzed the video for The Washington Post said that Kellys body language signaled irritation and displeasure, but not hardcore anger.
But White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered an explanation for Kellys reaction to The Post.
[Kelly] was displeased because he was expecting a full breakfast and there were only pastries and cheese, Huckabee Sanders said.

Watch the video of Trump haranguing at the breakfast table this morning. See for yourself. Kelly is turning away from Trump not from the breakfast.
Well Sarah will be the first to admit that she herself gets a bit testy if she's not served at least 5 cabbages for breakfast.

(560 posts)Especially given the fact that he and his wife lost a son in combat, unlike the chicken hawks in the GOP who havent had so much as a distant cousin serve.
He did some minor good in bringing some semblance of order to the chaotic West Wing last yearfor a time. And as much as we couldnt believe that a man of his background would serve Trump, we reasoned that he took the job to try to mitigate the damage that our malignant assclown-in-chief could do to this country in four short years.
But hes sold out. Theres no other explanation for his decision to not leave in a huff and further expose this travesty of an administration on his way out the door.

(82,849 posts)I'm not a big-shot general, but fer crissakes, if I was "displeased" about not getting a full breakfast, I think I could deal with it and move on without being a pouty-faced little brat like Kelly.
Is that really what Sanders meant to say, and is Kelly comfortable with this portrayal by Sanders?

(5,969 posts)They also make Kelly appear as a spoilt kid. He was moping around because he didn't get a full breakfast?

(59,475 posts)The Trump Chief of Staff is visibly upset because there was a continental breakfast in Brussels?? Pastries and cheese, prsumably with good coffee sounds exactly what I think most people would expect. Not to mention, whether you like the breakfast, the meeting itself was what was important ... and grownups don't pout because they didn't get what they wanted to eat.

(15,246 posts)Kelly, Hutchinson, Pompeo - none of them looked at Trump and all seemed ready to crawl under the table had they been given the chance.
The group photo was even funnier with all the heads of state looking to their left while Trump is craning his neck looking to his right.

(23,238 posts)That pastries and cheese could be so upsetting? At least we can be confident that SHSs ability to lie about the most trivial thing is still in tact.

(94 posts)What a shell of a man. To allow Sanders to characterize him as this weak, this immature, this petulant. It's unbelievable. This man is a Marine? Good God.

(10,885 posts)LOL - if he's unhappy in Brussels, wait till he gets to Helsinki.
A "hearty" breakfast there is this local buffet:
a rich selection of our own bakerys hand baked breads, croissants, cheese, cold cuts, vegetables, porridge, muesli, boiled eggs, creamy oven omelette, fruit, sweet dessert as well as coffee, tea and juice

(11,949 posts)And I think ole Sarah is just projecting. As much as I Detest his total lack of character, he seems to be at his marine fighting weight so probably eats a reasonable breakfast every day. Sarah, and Trump for that matter, were probably pissed that they could not strap on the feed bag. Or they miss their egg McMuffins.
