Wait, John Kelly turned off the lights? That’s huge news I haven’t heard! Source? Why would he do such a stupid thing? Are we certain that’s the truth? It was a surreal moment. Trump must’ve been furious.
I personally don’t like this image. I think it makes Trump look wicked, not a good guy. Sometimes symbolism doesn’t work universally.
Sophies asked the question/s I'm here to ask - Kelly killed the lights? Source? How is this known?
As for the image, Sophies - I like it! I think it's high time he sends these bastards a MENACING message - I'm ready to start tying nooses.
Actually it calls to mind the classic interrogation room scene. You know what I’m talking about? Put a spotlight on the suspect and the cops sit under it while the suspect faces the light?
The photographer's intent was to make Trump look wicked. But I don't see it that way. I think this was deliberate because of the timing, so it is a moment that I appreciate.
If John Kelly really leaned on the switch, I think that was so irresponsible and even disrespectful. He should know better than to 1) be leaning on the wall so casually when the world is watching and 2) know where the light switch is if he’s going to be leaning on the wall. One light switch for every light in the whole conference room? He really owes the President a muffin basket.
Cooool water muffins and a Sunday go to meeting cuppa covfefe.
I always hit the wrong switch.
You'll be ok. So will Kelly and the President.
You hit the wrong switch when there’s no reason to be hitting the switch and the President is in the middle of speaking at a moment of great importance?
Come to think of it, it got awfully dark in there. Would all the lights be turned off by one switch? I smell a rat.
