We knew that Hegseth didn't understand (or didn't believe in) security. It's not surprising that Trump, who had highly classified documents laying around in Mar a Lago, doesn't either.
Years ago, I was in a classified meeting in a SCIF when someone's cell phone went off. The person was immediately escorted out of the room--probably their clearance was revoked, and they were told not to come back. Having a cell phone in a SCIF is bad enough, having it go off inside the SCIF is even worse--and answering it during a classified meeting (or just answering it inside a SCIF) is cause for trouble big.
This description of the oval office as some super-secret meeting space seems like a gross mischaracterization in an attempt to fabricate a controversy or gain clicks.
I mean, it has windows.
If this was true, the situation room wouldn't exist.
The oval office seems more like a busy CEO's office with an open door policy. Bill Maher confirmed on his podcast the current administration turned the annex (where blowjobs were dispensed during the Clinton years) into the merch room where they store the red hats.
Random individuals without clearance and sometimes with ties to Russia (talking about DOGE here) have access to all government IT systems, including databases of the military personnel, and the military leaders are now aghast at Zuck? I don't know how people can take "clearance" or "classified" seriously anymore.

It's just down to a handful of people able to get the Tyrant King to sign off on anything they put in front of him
The scariest perspective is this is only 150 days in.
So imagine what happens 150 weeks later when all bets are off and "sure why not who would stop us" kicks in.
I am truly morbidly curious what happens to a country when 15+ million people disappear in just four years though.
