This might be the most instructive picture taken during Donald J. Trump’s still-young presidency.

It cracks me up!

The picture shows a collection of individuals gathered around a White House conference room table. The topic at hand? Women’s health issues and whether the Republican-sponsored health care overhaul — the American Health Care Act — would cover certain aspects of health issues germane to women.

Pop quiz: Who is absent from this White House meeting.

Time’s up. The answer? Women. There isn’t a single woman present in this meeting of middle-aged men who are talking about whether the AHCA should include women’s health matters.

Media reported today that the white guys stood and gave Trump an ovation as he entered the room. I guess they were offering a show of respect for the president of the United States.

The person who should have gotten an even bigger round of applause would have been any female member of Trump’s policy team.

I have to wonder: What in the world would any of the people in the picture — even those who are actually married to women — bring to any serious discussion about women’s health?

They use a word in Washington to describe how certain gatherings appear to those who see them: They call them “optics.”

The optics of this meeting were stunning.
