The president’s party sat about six tables away. The president received word that North Korea had launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile.

DeAgazio told the newspaperthat “there wasn’t any panicked look”. “So they have pictures, which are pretty good pictures, with the prime minister of Japan, the president – don’t worry about the president”. But it’s also become a magnet for anti-Trump protesters and the subject of an ethics debate over his invitation to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to join him this weekend – with Trump pledging to pay for the accommodations. That strategy session was conducted in somewhat dim light, so Trump had aides illuminate the documents he and Abe were reviewing using smartphone cameras.

That has alarmed national security experts who say Trump is sending a message to foreign intelligence agencies that he is willing to receive sensitive or classified information in an insecure space. In the meantime, Trump is intent on using his position as a public servant in the White House to generate personal income. There are now waiters at Mar-a-Lago who know more about N. Korea than the Joint Chiefs.

The president posed for selfies with various guests, including the bridesmaids at a wedding for Carl Lindner IV, an heir to the multi-billion-dollar fortune of his late grandfather, a 20th century mogul and investor who once controlled Chiquita Brands International.

A member of Donald Trump’s private Florida club has posted an image of himself posting with a man he claimed carries the president’s nuclear football. Eastern time on Saturday. The piled iceberg lettuce can be seen in the Facebook photos (which were taken offline later on Monday). One civilian Facebook user named Richard DeAgazio added photos of the scene, describing being near “the center of the action” as the situation unfolded. He told the Washington Post that “Rick” “didn’t say anything to me” about how the procedures worked.

He loves it so much that he seems to have turned it into his personal situation room. Most of the people [on the terrace] didn’t even realize what was happening.

“I know both families very, very well”.

Nothing befitted Donald Trump more than his first real national security scare.

As aides shone their cellphone flashlights, Trump and Abe reviewed documents and plotted a response to the global incident.

“He chooses to be out on the terrace, with the members. And I want to get it done for the people”, he said (via the Indian Express).

Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, said Trump and Abe don’t need to meet at Trump’s commercial property, where the membership fee recently was doubled to $200,000.

“I said, ‘Come on, Shinzo”.

Was DeAgazio anxious about the national-security implications of Trump’s al-fresco discussion with Abe? We are totally sure there will still be a country for you to return to – although for how much longer, at this rate, we can not honestly say.

“You don’t hear anything”.

Below DeAgazio’s pictures, other diners chimed in. “I hate shopping -I’m going to buy stuff today”.

After The Post spoke to DeAgazio, he deleted his Facebook account.
