Why does Trump always have that "fake fake stupid grin" on his face?..

and Why is Kellyanne sitting IN THE OVAL on the couch with her feet on the couch tucked under her butt like she is at a sorority pillow fight?

There are really strict security checks, but I have never heard of someone being asked to give up their cell phone. I wasn't exactly there on a daily basis, of course, and I don't know if the protocols have changed since Obama left office. But that was how it was while Obama was in office.

They aren't allowed in designated secure facilities in the building or in rooms during classified briefings. Classified information was not being shared during this meeting, so cell phones weren't a problem.
