On Friday, the official White House X account shared a photo of the Cabinet, taken during their meeting that day at Camp David.

According to The Mirror, “the caption written alongside it took many people by surprise, and left many rather reeled, as they were quick to point something out. It seems several shared similar thoughts about the President, and the cabinet, and they weren’t afraid to hold back either, with the image clearly sparking a lot of debate.

“Dream team. A historic Cabinet meeting at Camp David with the most successful, transformational Cabinet!,” the caption said.

Social media users had some pointed thoughts about the picture, and about the caption on it.

The Washington Post reported that at the “typically tranquil” presidential retreat, the event “swiftly became the latest stage for Trump’s frustrations over a series of stalled domestic and foreign policy initiatives.”

“Trump railed against Republican senators blocking his nominee for attorney general, lamented the collapse of his proposed $1.8 billion Justice Department payout fund, questioned whether Iran was negotiating a potential ceasefire in good faith and warned that Democrats would open U.S. borders if they won the midterm elections,” the Post story said.

Camp David is the traditional presidential retreat, although Trump has rarely been there during his two presidencies, normally preferring to spend his free time at his own resorts. It was the first televised cabinet meeting Trump has held at Camp David, the Post report said.
