At Mar-a-Lago, Trump Puts Government Affairs on Display for All to See

One of many potential security breaches

by KEVIN KNODELL

“The president receiving the news about the missile incident from North Korea on Japan with the prime minister sitting next to him,” Richard DeAgazio wrote on his public Facebook profile at 9:07 in the evening on Feb. 11, 2017.

The post included the above photo.

Pres. Donald Trump and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe were at the Mar-a-Lago, a private golf club the Trump family owned in southern Florida. DeAgazio — a retired investor who joined Mar-a-Lago three months earlier — documented the events of the evening on social media. This included posting photos of himself posing with White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, as well as a military aide reportedly carrying the “nuclear football,” a piece of gear that enables the president to launch a nuclear attack.

“HOLY MOLY!!! It was fascinating to watch the flurry of activity at dinner when the news came that North Korea had launched a missile in the direction of Japan,” DeAgazio later posted with more photos.

“The prime minister Abe of Japan huddles with his staff and the president is on the phone with Washington, D.C. the two world leaders then conferred and then went into another room for hastily arranged press conference. Wow … the center of the action!!!”

Trump and Abe were a spectacle for the Mar-a-Lago guests who were there that night. Many members of the intelligence community weren’t similarly impressed. But whether regardless of how serious this particular incident actually was, it’s just one of the Trump administration’s potential security breaches.

Remember, Trump cannot have dinner with anybody, because something might happen that is classified.

Nevermind about the NSA leaking the contents of Trump's private phone calls. That's OK and not a national security risk.

I thought “americans” wanted something that they haven’t had for the past eight years. “Government transparency”.

It’s not a security breach stat all.

All the people in attendance are respectable members of the community and members in good standing, and the guests, of Mar-a-Lago. None of the people in attendance were they type of people that would threaten our national security.

Most importantly, the national security dinner meeting at Mar-a-Lago makes Transparency in Government a reality.

When Trump is at The White House, confidential info is leaked. But when at Trump Tower in NYC or Mar-A-Lago, nothing is leaked. Hmmmmmmmm.

If Trump cured cancer tomorrow there’d be howls of outrage that he doesn’t care about people with arthritis.

Any concerns that he also has 30 foreign nationals on H2B visas working as wait staff in the Mar-a-Lago dining room?

It does seem to be very careless to allow a mensch to pose for selfies with an aide carrying nuclear codes.

WTF were the Secret service thinking?

I suggest the guy who posted this stuff on social media be banished from events with Trump and no more social media with Trump and heads of state, which need to be better controlled.

WarisBoring has become one of the most ant-Trump sites on the internet. It is filled with paid hacks who do nothing but write stories to fit the “Trump is Bad” narrative.

They are total BS and I don’t care if they are vets or not...they are paid hacks!

Trump is leaving town for New York or Florida because in Washington the walls have ears.

Sounds like they are legal to work in this country. The H2B visa needs to be looked into and in my opinion changed but as of now there is nothing wrong with them working there or other places they are currently allowed to work.

The thing is if we don’t like the laws we the people need to change them; but there is nothing wrong with hiring H2B people at this point in time as long as all laws were followed to hire them.

I am beginning to think some who make comments on FB sites are paid, too. I got to looking at the pages of a lot of them. One thing stood out. They have no comments from last year or this year except for the ones on President Trump pages/groups and there are a lot of them. Some repeat the same thing over and over so I was wondering if they were paid by the number.

I agree with you that the WH may not be safe but it isn’t Obama doing the bugging. He probably gives less than a poop. He doesn’t have to follow orders any more. But those that brung him...
