Members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet apparently knew ahead of time that their photo shoot with Vanity Fair was a bad idea, even joking amongst each other that they may lose their jobs over the photo session, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday.

"We’re all going to get fired for this!” one of Trump’s cabinet members said, according to Vanity Fair, shortly after seven of Trump’s top officials filed into a White House room “a bit like nervous schoolchildren.” “Except for me!” Vance apparently quipped in response. “I have 100% job security!”

The Trump administration continues to face fallout from Vanity Fair’s reporting Tuesday, which, in addition to a batch of new photographs of top Trump officials, also included stunning remarks from White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles that criticized Vance and other top White House officials, as well as undercut Trump’s past statements over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Vanity Fair Editorial Director Mark Guiducci detailed the photo shoot further in his reporting, highlighting the at times awkward atmosphere of the session.

1. If only. There's no one left low enough to replace them.

Mike Lindell, Chief of Staff? Please.

Even MFer is done with that clown.

2. He has a whole RW loonoverse of talk and podcast gasbags to select from

[maxsolomon]

3. I suppose that's true.

I don't see the top dogs bothering though.

8. Bannon had briefly worked there during the first term

Loomer is already pulling strings and directing actions "from the outside".

But you do have some who will be showing up in January after losing elections like 45-backed Ciattarelli or who were lame ducks like Youngkin - https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/10/trump-aides-and-allies-float-potential-noem-successors-as-speculation-grows-over-her-tenure-00684001

Youngkin, who is term-limited, has met with Trump immigration officials, according to one former ICE official. In a call with supporters before last month’s election, when Lt. Gov. Winsome Earl-Sears was defeated in a landslide, the Virginia governor praised Trump for cutting “trade deals, peace deals” and for bringing “huge investments back to the United States.”

So there are some...

5. But why would any of them want to work for Chump?

It wouldn't make them any money and it would ultimately destroy their careers.
Plus they would become immediate targets.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Everyone who works in there is an "opportunist"

They don't care about him. IOW, "they don't care what car they get in as long as it takes them places that they want to go".

[GopherGal]

33. "places that they want to go"

is the MAAGA-sphere. Somehow they don't mind that they're committing the rest of their careers to the RW/Trumpian movement. They don't mind sacrificing any kind of self-respect or esteem from anyone with more than two brain cells as long as they can add a resume credential that will get them an occasional gig on Faux News or one of its imitators. (And maybe a seat next to Stephen Miller on the evacuation plane to Moscow or Dubai or wherever this lot are headed after they run the whole planet into the crapper.)

[sheshe2]

18. Yup.

He can dig deeper into the looney bin. There is lot's more filth he can dreg up.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Megyn Kelly offered a position.

4. This pic that the cult thinks is soooo great?

6. Looks like the promo for a reality show

Real nudniks of Washington

[underpants]

7. That's funny.

I’ve been posting that it looks like 3rd string JV

[Hope22]

11. Is it me ...

Or is Miller flashing a weak white power sign?

[underpants]

12. Don't know but his suit looks thin (knee).

Zoom in on Wiles face. 😳

I don’t know who the two Nazis by the fireplace are.
Pamela Jo giving the trucker mudflap silhouette.

[cachukis]

14. Yes.

[niyad]

21. Ah, I think you are correct. I was wondering if he was playing with himself.

[Hope22]

23. He would if he could remember how!!!😂🤣

But they can’t resist this kind of disgusting display! Turns my stomach!

[calimary]

28. Way too smug, if you ask me.

That face. WAAAAAAY too smug.

[Iris]

34. Good eye

[Hope22]

35. Thanks...

I always watch these arrogant fools because more often than not someone is showing their hate. In this case….that guy puts the C in creepy! Take care and stay safe! 🙏🏼💗

[CTyankee]

37. I'd say it was something else he wanted to flash...

but I am a lady...

[niyad]

19. That has to be one of the most poorly composed professional (?) photographs

I have ever seen. Unless the intent was to show them looking awful. nosferatu is fingering his dick in a "manspreading" pose. susie looks like the furry thing on her head is in a wind tunnel, and on, and on. Anybody who turned that image in as an assignment in a photgraphy class would have gotten an "f".

[LudwigPastorius]

24. Stephen Miller looks like a rectal polyp.

[calimary]

26. "The Ugly Americans".

[surfered]

10. She'll be executed for treason!

[Martin68]

13. They are such a bunch of total losers. Starstruck by the chance to be in Vanity Fair and totally gave it

all away. Trump wanted loyalists, and got a bunch of exhibitionists.

[artemisia1]

17. People like Trump -- and those attracted to him -- have NO loyalists, only temporary, opportunistic allies. /nt

[travelingthrulife]

31. Isn't that the mag with whom Melania was always trying to get a photoshoot?

Even these goons beat her out.

[LuvLoogie]

15. If not fired...

How about run over by a tank?

[PatSeg]

16. Getting fired would be a blessing for them

They may not realize it now, but they'll be grateful later when others DO get run over by a tank.

[Martin68]

36. That's the weird thing. The Post reported this morning that the WH and Trump are still backing her up. Even the people

like Vance that she directly dissed put out positive statements about her. Perhaps Trump is very dependent on her.

[patphil]

20. Vance knows he can't be fired, and when Tump is gone, he'll be president.

I'm sure that knowledge brightens each and every one of his days.

[calimary]

27. That's the ONLY reason I can think of, to pray for good health for the donald.

[patphil]

30. Strange as it seems, me too.

[Marie Marie]

22. Everything is a big joke to these clowns. And I'm still trying to figure out Ms Wiles.

Is she really that naive, was this her waving a flag and sounding an alarm, or does she just enjoy gossiping. What was her point in her vivid, unflattering descriptions of the WH insiders. Anybody have any theories? She seems to see what is going on yet shrugs it off like "Oh Well..."

[usonian]

25. Thou shalt have no photo-shoot without me.

Jabba the Orange Hutt.

[niyad]

29. I just took another look at that really dreadful picture, and I am more

convinced than earlier that this was deliberately designed to look bad. A good stylist would not have put susie in that awful green jacket. That colour is not good on her, nor are the shoulder pads, and her blouse does not seem to be closed correctly. And that mess on her head looks like it took a can of spray starch. The less said about the lying mouthpiece and the testosterone bunch, the better. I would like to be able to enjoy my nightcap.

I salute the VF photographers.

[pecosbob]

32. No worries...we've got a retirement plan for you starting right after the midterms...it's called federal prison.
