Days before taking office, Donald Trump shared this photo of his desk, a tall stack of his just-released Time magazine cover issue taking front and center among the assorted clutter:

So what if the article inside wasn’t exactly flattering (and that’s putting it lightly)? Details, details.
Well now his progeny, Donald Jr., has revealed an equally un-zen workspace.
And wouldn’t you know it? The star of this still-life happens to be Don Jr. himself:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Twitter was quick to point out that among the oddly front-facing photos adorning his desk was a solo picture of himself. It’s also the biggest photo of the bunch, and we have to assume the most amazing, fantastic and incredible, too.
Wait. Tell me the one dead center is just of him.

And what’s with the bobble-head of Dad?
He needs the bobblehead of his father there because it's the only way he'll get him to nod "yes" to something

Some theories were floated:

Those last photos tried to make him look so rugged! Or waiting for his prince to come along

Everything about the Trumps is like a not very talented Publicist’s first job. They think they are being clever but just show how terrible and talentless they are. This reminds me of the fake letters from children Ivanka tried to tweet out about.

The Trumps are getting to be a nauseating story, not much interest here!
