1. Following my Weds @verge piece, I thought I'd review Trump Optics from Week 1 for the @AdvanceGuyNotes community. https://t.co/r8DaIls6xl

2. From the CIA to Theresa May, its been a big debut. I'm not here to judge the policies or parse the lies — just deconstruct the optics. pic.twitter.com/SzsiMWN4RI

3. 1st, on the "Golden Gooseneck," expert sources weighed in. Moving the mic from 22" away from mouth to 2" increases audio gain by 21 dB… pic.twitter.com/hL8SG7BZdk
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
4. …sources say 10 dB audio gain makes sound-thru-mic 2X as loud. That means Trump's voice is 4X louder from source than any prior POTUS. pic.twitter.com/mVAbotCOHT

5. Let's start at 1/20 with a new definition of "Tiffany Trump." Note to WHMO: position a social aide at North Portico for gift mgt. pic.twitter.com/nNhuEKk8xr

6. Melania's sky-blue @RalphLauren number made the iconic parade "walk shot," this by @JimWatson_AFP. Pool photogs must work fast on PA Ave. pic.twitter.com/hfii0LGbhA

7. Toe marks maketh the composition. @olsongetty, who was arrested covering Ferguson, MO in 2014, got this shot from behind. pic.twitter.com/zuSrY2CEGo
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
8. Another @olsongetty pic: notice the gear by Blue Goose. Boom mics to pick up oath. Heater vents to warm speaker. Robo-fired cameras, etc. pic.twitter.com/EYZazVijwf
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
9. @somogettynews reminds us that POTUS uses prompter. Nothing new in that. TV tight shots create illusion that it's not all scripted. pic.twitter.com/6YYwIVaVzE
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
10. The Capitol Steps: Out with the old, in with the new. @RobertLeeCarr captures two sets of 1st & 2nd families for the last time. pic.twitter.com/1fSwdnozAT
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
12. I'm back. I'm an unabashed POTUS seal guy. Dancing on it at the inaugural is relatively new. The Clinton's didn't do it in '92 or '96. pic.twitter.com/czfvGVx2oS
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
Tweet #11 was unrelated to the V.W.I.R.
13. The long-neck SM57 makes its second appearance at the Armed Services Inaugural Ball. Those flag have battens to keep them spread open. pic.twitter.com/gTuZcD3jXJ
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
14. Pool summoned for 1st executive order. New in the Oval: gold drapes, Reagan's rug, Churchill's bust. Holdover: Resolute Desk, MLK bust. pic.twitter.com/lREjxWsOhs
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
15. @Reince. playing StaffSec, shows POTUS where to sign Mattis's commission slip. Keepsake document. Wood block near phone summons a valet. pic.twitter.com/RUrYh5aOBw
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 28, 2017
16. The pool report from @ZekeJMiller that started the shitstorm re MLK bust. A pity. My old tome on pool reports: https://t.co/JO2xoaQAdG pic.twitter.com/11BZzsgECt

17. Pens awaiting POTUS use. More a marker compared to the ballpoint in earlier adminis. The WH has stocked loads with Trump's imprimatur. pic.twitter.com/fLlBH9UjmX
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
18. On 1/21, Trump woke up to headlines and top-of-fold stories like this. Not bad. He shouldda been quite pleased, but no… pic.twitter.com/qnbGyJi4LD
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
19. He fumed at analyses like this, from @wallacetim, @karenyourish, & @TroyEricG. https://t.co/Jnj35CqEx2
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
20. Next stop, @CIA. "That speech was a home run," he would tell @DavidMuir. It might be remembered more as his "Mission Accomplished." pic.twitter.com/o4R58PViJY
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
21. Leaving Langley, our first image of the Mil Aide carrying "the football," enabling POTUS to launch nukes. https://t.co/DWzpez07Hm pic.twitter.com/vo9EZvnZsC
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
22. The day's biggest oddity was @PressSec using his podium to excoriate WH press corps for crowd coverage & pool report. 5 mins, no Qs. pic.twitter.com/JyrpcNw6g3
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
23. On 1/22, with staff in East Room, POTUS prop is letter from @POTUS44. Read them from POTUS 41, 42, & 43. https://t.co/fCQBt3daKz pic.twitter.com/L8rRy1oGMk

24. In Blue Room, pool ushered in for back shot of law enforcement. Shrewd use of press. Tall fellow next to Thos. Jefferson is Jim Comey. pic.twitter.com/H7lHLaPzh6
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
25. On 1/23, @ronsachs snaps scene in Roosevelt Room with bus. ldrs. Coverage feels like '93, when pool was always on the move in West Wing. pic.twitter.com/gyylSxP60p
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
26. Back in Oval, exiting TPP, POTUS demonstrates proclivity for showing off his signature. @saulloeb gets the snap on busy day for pool. pic.twitter.com/2ZKF2k8ab6
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
27. Back to the Roosevelt Room, mtg. with labor reps, the incomparable @dougmillsnyt gets POTUS barking at pool on their way out the door. pic.twitter.com/RBNOfNzmfA
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
28. To milk juxtaposition of GOP POTUS & org. labor, reps shuffle to Oval for a group shot by Nicholas Kamm. Pace of pool sprays is rapid. pic.twitter.com/ul4EYOoJCn
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
29. Comfortably smug: rounding out big 1st Monday, Cong. leaders convene in State Dining Room. Use of many WH venues in first 3 days… pic.twitter.com/MrGvYHZ3DH
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
30. To start 1/24, auto execs meet in Rsvlt Room. Later, they hit "the stakeout" to provide "readout" for video. https://t.co/9FDaaiYHU5 pic.twitter.com/NHTH59cDDF
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
31. Back to Oval for exec order on pipelines, staff provides backdrop for @ShawnThew: Pribus, @KellyannePolls, Hicks, Kushner, Bannon. pic.twitter.com/ogsFhytZ3m

32. On 1/25, POTUS leaves WH for trip to DHS, but brings his seal-affixed signing table with him to sign EO to start border wall… pic.twitter.com/StEclwP0Mf
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
33. …in our day, we'd affix placards to signing table to self-caption the images we'd compose. Hard to edit out that language. pic.twitter.com/5ygkSJ4mfU
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
34. @DavidMuir got the first Big Get on 1/25, incl. classic colonnade walk. NBC & @tombrokaw used to land that one. https://t.co/BB81bQXRrH pic.twitter.com/pVrg7ir6Mn
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
35. On 1/26, the first of many HMX-1 South Lawn departures for Pres Trump, this one from @drewharrer. Nixon's last such flight was 8/9/1974. pic.twitter.com/MTJbUof83d
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
36. @dougmillsnyt is aboard AF-1 as the pool is summoned to POTUS office. It's a rare moment for press access at the front of the plane. pic.twitter.com/4SOFVUmGuB
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
37. At Philly GOP Retreat, @alexwongcw stacks up POTUS & prompter. If TV didn't zoom past panels, we'd have a better sense of the spectacle. pic.twitter.com/UdA0CCggfM

38. The end of Week 1, coat buttoned, with British PM Theresa May (in person), Thos. Jefferson (in painting) & Winston Churchill (in bust). pic.twitter.com/00PueieSTR

39. Ever the choreographer, Trump oversees lamp removal to effect a better Oval wide shot, this one by @Chris_Furlong. pic.twitter.com/VTM0EITN84
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
40. A moment of grandeur: an East Room presser with PM May staged on the north-south axis. Formal POTUS pressers usually in West doorway. pic.twitter.com/TBHCJWGwNh
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
41. @drewangerer has POTUS talking w/ Putin 1/28 thru glass of Oval. This kind of pool op allows pics, but no Qs. Andrew Jackson looks on. pic.twitter.com/AaMqxomIUK
— Josh King (@Polioptics) January 30, 2017
42. At DoD, with mock-up of CMOH behind him & WH signing table over his lap, Trump signs EO changing perception of U.S. at stroke of pen. pic.twitter.com/uuIX5lDvds
