Trump is always surrounded by people in his White House interviews. My whole life any time the president was talking with a camera on them in the White House it was just him on screen the vast majority of the time.

Now there are also at least 5 people standing there while he sits. Sometimes I think it's a test. Will they stand for an hour? Will their face crack when he says something dumb?

I've noticed this also. What do you think the psychology is here? Is it meant to make him seem stronger, or of tougher solidarity?

I think he is a needy person that taxes everyone around him with his constant need for adulation. So it takes a team of people to keep him happy enough to not pick up Twitter/Truth and start opening his brain on it. Because it is clear to me that he has no adult supervision when he posts.
