'Striking': Trump said to have given Dems 'real political hay' with 'bizarre spectacle'

Raw Story  

Reacting to the Oval Office press conference in Tuesday where Donald Trump sat at his desk and let billionaire Elon Musk soak up all the attention and answer a flurry of questions, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" were stunned to see the president let someone else be the center of attention. After sharing clips of Musk fielding questions while his young son joined Trump in being a passive observer, co-host Jonathan Lemire promoted guest John Heilemann, "Weigh in, if you will, on that body language in the Oval Office –– It's so striking. "Way Too Early" host Ali Vitali contributed, "I'm glad we drilled down deeper on the optics of what was happening in the Oval yesterday, because it was striking to see Musk standing the attention of the room seemingly oriented around him. "I don't think a scene like what we saw yesterday is going to be repeated anytime soon, certainly without, you know, a kind of split-screen scenario with Donald Trump sitting there," he explained.
