Trump Aides Rushed Reporters Out Of The Oval Office Mid-Briefing

There was an odd moment at the White House last week when President Donald Trump went off on a bizarre tangent about his Washington renovation products, including a long metaphor likening the changing of the grass to the changing of people.

“We’re changing all the grass in all the parks,” Trump said. “That’s going to be changed very shortly. Because grass is like human beings- grass has a life also.”

The Mirror reported that “as the shot zoomed out, two female staff members made urgent gestures with their arms, directing the press to exit. While reporters hastily left, Trump and his colleagues remained visible in the background, maintaining polite smiles.”

The newspaper quoted commentator David Pakman as stating that the moment marked a “strange chapter in the novel that is this insane presidency,” and “They suddenly realised something was wrong with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, and they rushed the press out.”

“As it became clear to the aides in the room that Donald Trump was starting to decompensate, and he simply couldn’t do it anymore, the bevvy of aides who mostly have the same look, I don’t know if like, am I not supposed to notice that the aides have a very similar look? They just rush reporters out of the room,” Pakman added.
