Conspiracy theory: this is Heritage Foundation steering in order to safeguard their totalitarian dictatorship in the event of Trump's death. They're making sure that his successors get their faces shown as much as possible up front to ease the transition.
Honestly not a bad conspiracy
I just think they're there to make sure that if he has an "episode", they can shuffle him off to bed and take over.
I don't think this is a conspiracy, Trump could die literally any day
I would go with Thiel and Vance.
He’s such a fucking coward and Americans elected him twice, which says something about Americans.
Some voted for him 3 times even
By a bigger margin the second time.
Yes man entourage? You mean handlers.
Russian and also physical handlers. They are there to catch him if his leg braces give out from all the obesity and literal shit tumbling down his trousers.
It's about accountability. The buck stops with him, so he speaks alone and takes sole responsibility for the decision, and it's consequences. Trump doesn't understand that. His lackeys are there so he can blame them if it hits the fan, Iran retaliates on a US urban population, and hes left with only taco options.

That has literally never happened in my lifetime.
Hey! You're not supposed to remember and analyze the actual actions of those in power! Keep your nitpicking to tone and presentation, please.
I thought that was weird too. I couldn't remember another time I had seen anyone's behind the President there. So weird and pointless.
When Obama announced the passage of ObamaCare, Biden was by his side. I remember it well because just before Obama spoke, you could hear Biden on a hot mic whisper "This is a big fucking deal, Mr President."
I laughed my ass off.
Fair. I dont remember the details, but I do remember that quote. I mostly remember Obama standing there alone announcing Bin Laden's death. It was quite memorable for obvious reasons but also I was in a bar at my buddy's 21st birthday hangout, and things for rowdy.
The night Obama announced Bin Laden's death was also the night he humiliated HitlerPig at the big Press Banquet. Some believe that was the moment that he decided to run for president. So while Obama was roasting HitlerPig in front of the world, he knew that he'd be ordering Bin Laden's killing later that evening. Interesting context.
#MyPresident
I can excuse starting another war, but I draw the line at having people behind him.
Right? Who gives a fuxk. Dude just tried to escalate into thermonuclear war to protect Zionists and we're talking about how he didn't follow some unsaid procedural rule about how he has to be manly and announce his war crimes solo
The US has to make announcements about military action so often there are already traditions on how to do it. And if a president doesn't keep to them he is a weirdo.
He even changed the presidential address microphones. They’ve been using dual SM-57s for decades, but I suppose they’re not good enough for him.
guess why. I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with smoeblob.
edit: save the gif while you can. seems like the internet pixies did their magic and almost removed all reference to this little incident online.
Why the hell would I want to save that? I see plenty of references when I search.
Trump is always surrounded by people in his White House interviews. My whole life any time the president was talking with a camera on them in the White House it was just him on screen the vast majority of the time.
Now there are also at least 5 people standing there while he sits. Sometimes I think it's a test. Will they stand for an hour? Will their face crack when he says something dumb?
I've noticed this also. What do you think the psychology is here? Is it meant to make him seem stronger, or of tougher solidarity?
I think he is a needy person that taxes everyone around him with his constant need for adulation. So it takes a team of people to keep him happy enough to not pick up Twitter/Truth and start opening his brain on it. Because it is clear to me that he has no adult supervision when he posts.
Being weak and scared is Trump and his followers' whole thing.
Side note but I hate that this these are presented in counterclockwise chronological order for some reason.
So tired of everyone stroking the Emporer's fragile ego. Dear Leader can learn to suck himself off.
Wouldn't need an island if he could
Trump looks kinda short in that image. Good thing little Marco is there.
Alternate take: It's an indicator that we're stepping into a very serious war.
And of course we have nothing to gain for it.
Too weak Trump.
