It's the big red button in the middle!!! NOOOOOOO Not that one!

It took the White House 22 minutes to figure out how to enable the "listening only" feature on a conference call on Thursday in which senior administration officials announced that President Trump would continue to waive nuclear program-related sanctions, keeping the deal intact.

Its amusing. I once sat through a highly boring conference call training. We all wound up cracking jokes about the subject matter and the trainers horrendous delivery.
Turned out we didnt hit the mute button. The poor sap heard everything and kept on droning away.

WHCA (White House Communications Agency) was once top drawer expertise when it came to knobs, buttons & blinking lights. Maybe the ones who knew how to drive the teleconference gadget had quit & taken that knowledge with them. Or maybe this bunch:

Those kinds of shenanigans happen on almost every presidential and other VIP visits overseas. The only difference is those Einstein’s got caught.
 
This is seriously news? It's sad how the media will report anything desperate to smear the president or paint him in a negative light.

As annoying as Trump is, I do think this news report was somewhat unneeded.
 
I don't understand the title.

Why would Trump make a conference call with Iran and reporters?

Maybe it's because the screw ups and incompetence are so common?
