Trump’s War Room Photos Have 1 Detail That Make His Inner Circle Look Pretty Silly

As if waging an attack from a Florida resort wasn’t weird enough.

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump published several photos to his Truth Social website of himself and senior administration officials — like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, adviser Stephen Miller and others — in a makeshift situation room at Mar-a-Lago, monitoring the U.S. operation in Venezuela on Saturday that forcibly removed the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, in the middle of the night.

At first glance, the captionless photos published on Trump’s account come off as very somber and serious — that is, until a few eagle-eyed social media users pointed out one very unserious detail.

In two photos, Hegseth and other officials can be seen working in front of a large TV that seems to be projecting someone’s computer screen. The computer screen boasts, of all things, an X feed.

Here’s a closer look.

Evan Hill of The Washington Post said images also seem to show that whoever was using the computer seems to have “searched ‘Venezuela’ on X” — although the image is a bit blurry.

And here’s a more zoomed-in version.

“The photos suggest that US leaders were looking out for posts that might signal public awareness of the US military action while it was getting underway,” CNN’s Brian Stelter said in response to the photos on X.

Other social media users were perplexed by the idea that senior White House officials were perusing X during the Venezuela operation.

“They are ‘monitoring the situation’ just like I was in bed last night,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) quipped on X.

“‘I really hope I get a lot of likes’, says every teenage girl in America, and the moron in the White House,” another X user wrote.

“Veep was a documentary,” someone joked.

“We are in the dumbest timeline,” echoed another.
