Donald Trump wants everyone to believe he’s hard at work in the Oval Office today, tweeting a photo of him receiving a briefing at the Resolute Desk.
Trump tweeted, “Christmas Eve briefing with my team working on North Korea – Progress being made. Looking forward to my next summit with Chairman Kim!”

Ok, so maybe Trump did put on his suit and venture to the Oval to do some work…I mean, it’s possible right?
Well, according to MSNBC reporter Garrett Haake, not everything is as it seems.
Haake tweeted, “I’ve not seen a marine in front of the West Wing at all today. Makes me wonder if this photo was taken today or not?”

A Marine Sentry is always posted outside the Oval Office when the president is inside.
Twitter wasn’t surprised:
Do you mean to say…
…that it's…
..that the president himself is sending out…FAKE NEWS?!?!???

Well at least that means he didn't call these two poor people in on Christmas Eve for a photo op of him pretending to read a blank sheet of paper.

Is the liar lying again? On Christmas Eve, no less? No, could not possibly be the case
Pretty sure he's spent the day in bed eating Christmas chocolate, screaming at the TV, and furiously tweeting while pouting that he could have been golfing had he not thrown a tantrum

Shameful that has to be questioned. Good catch.

A reporter at the White House today says there hasn't been a Marine posted outside the West Wing yet today, indicating that you have NOT come to work yet. Is this an older photo that you are trying to pass off as current? https://t.co/rTGPMYzD54 [10]

Those newspapers haven’t been read that’s for sure.
