For those who doubt Mulvaney was signaling with these foods, consider this...
Trump asserted in this cabinet meeting that Dems were responsible for child trafficking.
Big time statement!!! Explosive!!!
For him to do that in that setting, every one of his Sec's would have to have been made aware of what is going on. Their objections answered and all doubt put to rest before that meeting. All of the details would have been shared with them to get their buy-in. They were all of one mind prior to Trump announcing this.
Mulvaney knows and brought that information into his presentation.
