White House photo shows aging white men clustered with Trump in small room without masks

At least one of the older white men in this photograph has had close repeated exposure to a person with COVID-19.

This group of white men of advanced age would appear to be at higher risk of coronavirus. Nevertheless, not one of them is wearing a face mask, and none of them are abiding by social distancing guidelines.

What message are they sending?

Why?

President @realDonaldTrump met with Secretary @EsperDoD, @SecPompeo, senior military leadership, and national security team members in the Cabinet Room today. pic.twitter.com/C4Yr2CMeLR
