2. Another week, another roundtable in the Roosevelt Room on Monday – with women SMB owners. Trump's wearing down the leather on that chair. pic.twitter.com/RvxXJ6ZfUo

4. Johnson's biz, @JSBInc, is impressive. It caught the eye of Deputy NSA Dina Powell last year, while still at Goldman Sachs. https://t.co/MF6sggiIej

5. Goldman's philanthropic arm, under Powell's leadership, celebrated Johnson again in October – a go-to model of small business savvy. https://t.co/6dj65EQx9q

7. Same shit, different week. Sign doc, hold up doc, look glum. @DorisKGoodwin told @JoeNBC Trump's anger has to go. https://t.co/ud3aX2mxHi pic.twitter.com/IRTPWJKg0b

9. Chuck Canterbury, @GLFOP president, was at Trump's left in the Roosevelt Room. He's been a familiar presence in the past… pic.twitter.com/pEmNiyX8bJ

11. Trump is a homebody. I checked w/ @markknoller: POTUS has only been to 9 states: KY MI DE FL MC PA SC TN & VA, all east of Miss. River pic.twitter.com/oIDnnUbwHF

12. Trump only ventured out of the White House this week once, to visit the EPA, surrounded by miners from Rosebud Mining. A deeper meaning? pic.twitter.com/cEML5zWHeb
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
13. Remember: Rosebud was the name of C.F. Kane's sled, which he was playing on the day he was taken away from his mother. pic.twitter.com/rKpW9nuISk

14. We learned two things, visually about Trump this week. First, he doesn't like his signing desk, though it's done fine for 5 presidents. pic.twitter.com/jeUfMRc5mO
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
15. Second, he likes to rearrange things when he sits down to a desk, a form of "territorial marking". https://t.co/WanqwLGNH7 pic.twitter.com/Rfgts85ZIy

16. @JaclynReiss of the @BostonGlobe deconstructed the signing desk issue. https://t.co/mNSSq0Nyea pic.twitter.com/fj7YRVH5b3

17. For the first time in his presidency that I've seen, on 3/28, Trump used a hard-wired handheld mic, at a reception for U.S. Senators. pic.twitter.com/PtgzV12qRK
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
18. Back to the Cabinet Room on 3/29, extending a courtesy to Gov. Christie he wouldn't do for Angela Merkel in the Oval: shaking hands. pic.twitter.com/HXIiUJnGK8
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
19. When Denmark's PM Lars Lokke Rasmussen dropped by the Oval on 3/30, he also got a handshake, unlike Merkel. pic.twitter.com/jM1Nr5X0rk

20. Trump ended week 10, the toughest of his term so far, on 3/31 in Oval, even with Andrew Jackson looking skewed over his shoulder. pic.twitter.com/6AluuZzxXL
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
21. With distractions aplenty, Trump forgot to do on 3/31 what he came to do in the Oval: sign an executive order. https://t.co/8jZ7eVwu6F
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 1, 2017
22. On a nondescript visual week for POTUS, @NewYorker & @TheEconomist used their new covers to opine on Trump's current lie: far from par. pic.twitter.com/39kOwbbS5T
