Trump has added a new feature to his Cabinet meetings—brighter lighting to improve how he will look on television.

The TV showman president ordered upgraded ceiling lights in the Cabinet room after seeing footage from one of his meetings and disliking it, a White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Politico.

Trump Cabinet gatherings are often long-winded affairs where members lavish praise on Trump in public, rather than fulfilling its traditional role of tackling policy issues.

Trump’s penchant for gold bling is also on display in the new Cabinet room decoration.

1. This answers my question on why the curtains are drawn

The last fealty fest (and others) look like dark almost underground meeting in the darkest saddest day possible. I thought it might be some sort of (in his mind) manly show of force or some nonsense.

Nope. Pure vanity.

Jeebus.

6. It's not the lighting, Pampy. It's your body, failing.

And I CELEBRATE that. It’s not happening fast enough, and not nearly as fast as some people would like to believe- but the process clearly is underway.

7. A Lens-Cap would make him look better on TV....

unconvinced that putting him under brighter lights will make him look "better"---
probably the opposite!
