1. We begin Week 7 of the V.W.I.R. for @advanceguynotes folks, with 201 to go in Trump's 1st term. As visuals go, it was incredibly quiet. pic.twitter.com/tQWqFPz3t5

2. After @markknoller shared pics of 3/5 return from @PBI_Airport, no AF-1, no HMX-1, no motorcades all week. When's the last time for that? https://t.co/71ZcmC3bnE

3. Eerily quiet. And I suspect some shame from this historic doozie as a root cause for a number of cancelled pool sprays during week. https://t.co/6BbOECP5vZ

4. The week started, 4/6, like Obama often, with a WH handout photo of EO signing subbing for pool access. An accessible POTUS clammed up. https://t.co/nXDJo6DkI4

5. On 3/6, the great Knoller took note of the uncommon radio (& visual) silence from the president. https://t.co/8HUAYJrFXI

6c. My first recall was this 2012 @jackiekcalmes charmer on an Oval meetup betw Obama & 5yo Jacob Philadelphia. https://t.co/ZgxiRji3w6

6d. The shot of Obama & Jacob, btw, annoyed photojournalists cuz it was shot by a govt. photog (propaganda!) and illustrated the NYT piece. pic.twitter.com/2GzBdUIyqY

10. On a slow news day, the Daily Mail plays it up big. https://t.co/VK4SKn77l5
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
11. And because of the framing, against the portrait of a prior tenant of the public housing, the great @politicoroger summed up the image. https://t.co/pRTDDuhXpx

11a. As @evanvucci's shot shows, no matter how long Trump stays in WH, Hillary, & the shadows of 2016, will always loom over his shoulder. pic.twitter.com/WbppcCLzz1

12. On 3/7. POTUS met w/ House Deputy Whip team (the original Frank Underwood boys) in East Room. An odd use of the space… pic.twitter.com/YXuPTyci59

14a. No pool spray, but @POTUS tweeted a collage of his 3/9 Leg Affairs mtg. A shot appeared on cable news, but it surfaced a larger issue. https://t.co/PVZpLXhLL1

14b. The new WH photog is @shealahDCphoto, replacing @PeteSouza. This is her White House flickr page. It's empty. https://t.co/Vf4NX92COH
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
14c. Over 8 years, @PeteSouza & team created a vast documentary archive of the presidency, preserved on a new site. https://t.co/hx7Y4uIb3G
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
14d. It serves as a reminder of how far @realDonaldTrump's White House has to go to become "a well-oiled machine." https://t.co/qJqIrWiBgu
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
15. Leading into Friday, 3/10, @markknoller was taking note of the uncommon phenomenon of scant presidential sightings. pic.twitter.com/oIyLLO1wDt
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
15a. There was 1 other Roosevelt Room mtg on POTUS's 3/10 sked. To give you a sense of how the pool gets the stiff-arm, watch this video. https://t.co/BtcokL20TS
— Josh King (@Polioptics) March 11, 2017
15b. And there was this from @juliehdavis. @jeremymgaines & I used to usher pool from the room, but weren't licensed to carry firearms. https://t.co/QmfKtC9rGx

16. At halfway mark to 100 days, from data from the unofficial WH record-keeper, "the shut-in presidency" of Donald Trump has congealed. https://t.co/812Kz7lTPq
