Or booking rooms for the upcoming weekend? Since Trump will once again be on vacation.
200k is a cheap way for a country to gain intel from such an obviously amateur operation as the Trump presidency.
You never know what might happen, so have the mics and the cameras ready.

They also know no one cares if you go around taking photos of people and events outsiders really shouldn't be a party to.

There's a cabal down there and they don't seem to trust each other.

A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF; pronounced "skiff" in United States military, national security/national defense and intelligence parlance, is an enclosed area within a building that is used to process Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) types of classified information.

(90,761 posts)You don't sit back and gloat as if you're the center of attention while your staff hustles about grabbing documents. It looks bad.
In some ways it looks as if you set the whole thing up so you can look like a big shot to your guests.
For the life of me, I just don't see Trump as anything other than a loser, so while some might see the president as a big shot, I don't see Trump that way - at all.
Had it been a national/international incident, Trump and staff behaving that way in front of people without clearances is a danger to national security.

(31,133 posts)is going ape shit with so many flagrant security violations. If we did anything like that we would be terminated with security clearances yanked with the recommendation that it never be reinstated.
Such a total disregard for security is a huge danger for the country.

Bottom line...he's all for his personal showmanship vs. the well being of the country.

I remember serving in the USAF , and the Iranian pilots were stationed with us. Everyone got along, so when Bannon get his way, we are gonna be fighting people who were directly trained by us. Great.
