2. The final week of 1st 100 days began with an unscheduled event: a visit to Walter Reed to pin a Purple Heart on SFC Barrientos. pic.twitter.com/n1ciK6qcIO

3. Back on 3/25, I tweaked Trump's staff for a cluttered Oval Office event on NASA funding, offering clean set-up for talking to astronauts. https://t.co/18qJvXWYpR

4. They took my advice on 4/24, when Trump rang ISS Cdr. Peggy Whitson. Trump team has gone clean with their events – less clutter in Oval. pic.twitter.com/PH8DshjWkd

5. Trump invited members of UN Security Council to lunch in the State Dining Room on 4/24. After lunch, he took them to Oval "for pictures:" pic.twitter.com/IIEI4iatrs

6. I also said back on 1/30 that Trump should get his butt to Holocaust Museum to allay his proclamation SNAFU, then the Spicer flub. https://t.co/T4n0K1Srgi

7. Wasn't the Holocaust Museum, but Trump showed up at the Rotunda for Days of Remembrance. U.S. Grant & Horatio Gates needed no prompter. pic.twitter.com/O8LSQdSM4h

8. That's John Trumbull's "Surrender of General Burgoyne" behind Trump and the flags of the liberating U.S. Army divisions in front of it. pic.twitter.com/01yPXGswt2

9. At Interior on 4/26 in Sec. Zinke's office, Trump stood in front of taxidermy of a bison & a stag, and a portrait of T.R. pic.twitter.com/RYuO3JhyEI

10. Nothing speaks to the attempted coup against preservation than this panorama posted on Interior's website. Clean lineup, however! pic.twitter.com/Vq2rUc4htY

11. Sure sign it makes sense to put the president between mounted heads of a dead bison & deer: he makes it to top-of-fold NYT. https://t.co/SXrdjwmx87

12. The Teachers of the Year were the Props of the Day on 4/26. At least the TOTY is from Boston – her name is Sydney Chafee. pic.twitter.com/zE6V2e4jmE
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
13. On 4/27, Argentine president Mauricio Macri, stopped by, met by POTUS outside Dip Room entrance below the Truman Balcony. pic.twitter.com/glV9zpom95
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
14. Macri may invite Trump to Buenos Aires, where he may feel more comfortable waving FROM the balcony, like Eva Peron at Casa Rosada. pic.twitter.com/8s5pCo5nG2

15. Worth noting the service flags – Army, Navy, USAF, Marines – with battle ribbons, have made an Oval comeback – gone since Nixon. pic.twitter.com/q8X5CNq8tt
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
16. Say this for Trump, his Oval pool sprays are no longer geared to writers for Foreign Affairs; it's more targeted at Town & Country. pic.twitter.com/j9eRTXtGdA
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
17. With the Argentine delegation after the Oval confab. I do find it an odd that the Cabinet Room is used more frequently as a lunch spot. pic.twitter.com/RAMhOEy9M9
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
18. The itsy-bitsy signing table Trump hates so much continues to get a workout, this time schlepped to the V.A. on 4/27 to sign an E.O. pic.twitter.com/VUKANNOHHz
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
19. @SalenaZito posted this 4/27. @DerWouter noted 4 POTUS flags standing in Oval, but only 1 POTUS. Literally wrapped himself in the flag. https://t.co/SN5ohQZrC1
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
20. @Tara_Mckelvey updates us on transition from Marine 1 to Air Force One en route to Atlanta for NRA speech. More later. https://t.co/xnLNM60asi
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
21. Before leaving for ATL, Trump returned to his Roosevelt Room stomping ground to show of his signature on his Offshore Energy E.O. pic.twitter.com/6MAlQhQraK
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
22. Those who've followed 14 weeks of the VWIR might be numb to this repeated Roosevelt Room and Oval kabuki, designed to look like action. pic.twitter.com/YGwYWekeqf
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
23. @MikeGrunwald gives us some perspective in a new piece today. "Messaging isn't the same thing as governing." https://t.co/EoFj87Zaks
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
24. The wide shot of the NRA speech showed us the "Leadership Forum" backdrop with the NRA step & repeat in muted burgundy. pic.twitter.com/KM1TOkpnkL
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
25. There weren't any musket props used, as Chuck Heston did at the NRA convention in Charlotte, 5/20/2000 – the "cold, dead hands" line. pic.twitter.com/cruiap5QY0
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
26. But the medium shot worked as well as Trump might have hoped, framing him with the fragment of the word "Leadership" that he likes most. pic.twitter.com/qMr2FU608M
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017
27. We're 99 days done with Trump's 1st term. 1,362, and millions of images, to go. I'll always remember this, from Day One. Quite a guy. pic.twitter.com/VF5FY5oDsv
— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 29, 2017
28. That concludes Week 14 of the VWIR & our 100-day series. All 14 VWIRs are at https://t.co/RseoncaKXp. Thanks for viewing. Over and out. pic.twitter.com/xFmSSzCt62
