Once upon a time the Producers of Blake's 7 ran out of money to build plywood sets so they put up lots of curtains and drapes in the studio instead to save money. Donald it seems has also availed himself of this gambit as his operations room seems to be entirely made of black curtains hastily erected in a barn. Fans of the James Bond film franchise will be bitterly disappointed to see that instead of giant screens and walls of monitors, the Leader of the once Free World appears to be conducting his war in front of a small cardboard map of the Middle East presumably with pins stuck on. Or perhaps magnetic clouds like the ones Michael Fish used to attach to his weather map. Oh, well, at least there are plenty of phones kindly provided by Israeli firm Cisco. But what else can we glean from this photo? It appears to be in some kind of barn above ground and not in the bunker Obama was snapped in the last time the US carried out an assassination. From this I conclude that Trump's plans were so secret that he didn't even want some people in the White House knowing.
After all, Trump's Mr Real Estate - interior design is his thing. He recently redecorated the Oval office in ugly gold leaf. Not that gold is usually ugly but it is when Trump squeezes it everywhere like toothpaste. Still, no one went broke catering to people with no taste. But this is a man who has knocked down a wing of the White House to build a new ballroom and stops meetings to look out the window at how the work is progressing. A man who talks about the textiles for the ballroom windows unprovoked. But when erecting his operations room it's made out of black drapes? Why? Except to hide...?
