Mar-a-Lago member posted images of the national security discussion on Facebook.

“HOLY MOLY !!! It was fascinating to watch the flurry of activity at dinner when the news came that North Korea had launched a missile in the direction of Japan. The Prime Minister Abe of Japan huddles with his staff and the President is on the phone with Washington DC. the two world leaders then conferred and then went into another room for hastily arranged press conference. Wow.....the center of the action!!!”



Mar-a-Lago is hardly a secure situation room

By the looks of his Facebook feed, Richard DeAgazio is a big fan of President Trump’s. Witness his Facebook feed on anti-immigrant protests in Italy, courtesy of the Russian propaganda network RT, the photo of Bill Clinton with a woman that he spuriously identifies as the former president’s new girlfriend, and a caricature of Barack Obama in a sombrero.

But Mr. DeAgazio did the current president no favors with his fanboy posts from Mar-a-Lago this weekend in a public dining room as the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, and the president of the United States scrambled to respond to a North Korean ballistic missile test.

Has this place ever been swept for bugs? I can see any number of people that would want to listen in on this stooge.

I mean I'm sure the Secret Service agents are probably competent and did it, but I can totally see Trump complaining it took too long and making them not to do it.

listen that's nice and all but this is our business he's handling in public. Shouldn't they have done something a little more patriotic like nicely ask him to cut it out? I mean, cmon, that shit makes the entire country look bad. Facebooking, tweeting, whatevering this clusterfuck makes the citizenry seem just as feckless.
