So, in the command room and at Mar a Lago, while the bombs were flying,

Trump was wearing a cap that was low on his forehead, blocking a good look at his eyes.

Could this be because they were trying to avoid a moment where Grandpa was caught stealing zzzzs?

" a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region."

"Calling it 'the situation room at Mar-a-Lago' doesn’t morph that blanket fort into a SCIF," Joyce Vance, law professor at the University of Alabama, posted on X. (Raw story article)

A blanket does not a wedding venue into a SCIF

It's a KKKlown show, but it's what murica voted for. Their favourite game show host, their #NaziKing, an absolute fucking joke.

President Donald Trump was bashed on Saturday after photos emerged of the "blanket fort" at his Mar-a-Lago estate that he used as a Situation Room to monitor the strikes in Iran.

The White House posted a photo of Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of Personnel Dan Scavino, and other administration officials on its X account on Saturday evening. The photo shows a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region......

"Calling it 'the situation room at Mar-a-Lago' doesn’t morph that blanket fort into a SCIF," Joyce Vance, law professor at the University of Alabama, posted on X.

"I can think of nobody better to help make decisions about a war with Iran than….Trump’s f------ golf club manager, Dan Scavino," Rohan Patel, who oversees Majority Democrats, posted on X.

"'Epic fury.' Our leaders spend way too much time playing video games," HuffPost White House Correspondent S.V. Dáte posted on X.

"He looks like s---," writer Peter Rothpeltz posted on X, zooming in on a snapshot of Trump's face in the photo.
