It's clear that no one rose to applaud DT at the CIA. But not clear why they were all standing throughout his speech. Does anyone know? Sure I want to combat fake news... But I'm actually just curious.
From Huffington Post
He never told them to sit.
The 400 agency staffers were standing when Trump entered the room, were still standing when he came to the lectern, and then remained standing through his 15 minutes of remarks.

From Twitter
At 7:35 A.M. on Sunday, Trump responded on Twitter to the negative reactions to his comments. “Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!”
There were no chairs in the room... All applause was standing. It just goes on and on.
