A photo of President Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, rubbing his head during Sunday's update on the president's health went viral.
Mark Meadows has skeletons in the closet — dinosaur skeletons, to be precise Meadows' disclosure forms don't mention his income from a Colorado dinosaur park — and that's not the weird part. Mark Randall Meadows (born July 28, 1959) is an American politician who served as the 29th White House chief of staff from 2020 to 2021. He served as the U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 11th congressional district from 2013 to 2020. A member of the Republican Party, Meadows chaired the House Freedom Caucus from 2017 to 2019.
Reuters photographer Erin Scott captured Meadows with his forehead resting on his hands as Navy Cmdr. Sean Conley delivered the update to the media about Trump, who has been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after testing positive for COVID-19.
Corrine Perkins, the North America editor for Reuters Pictures, posted the photo on Twitter.

- YS (@NYinLA2121) October 4, 2020Meadows was in hot water this weekend after he was identified to be the source who told reporters on Saturday that Trump's 'vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning, and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care.'
Initially, Meadows's comments were attributed to an official familiar with the president's condition before an online video revealed that the chief of staff talked to pool reporters after Conley's Saturday briefing.
The New York Times and CNN reported that President Trump is furious with Meadows after he contradicted Conley's message during Saturday's press conference that the president was 'doing well' and 'in exceptionally good spirits.'

Meadows attempted to backtrack from his on-background comments later Saturday by telling Fox News that Trump had 'unbelievable courage' and had experienced 'unbelievable improvement' while acknowledging that his blood oxygen level had 'dropped rapidly.'
During Sunday's press briefing, Conley said Meadows's comments were 'misconstrued.'
'The chief and I work side by side, and I think his statement was misconstrued. What he meant was that 24 hours ago, when he and I were checking on the president, that there was that momentary episode of a high fever and that temporary drop in the saturation, which prompted us to act expediently to move him up here,' Conley said.
Conley also said on Sunday that the president had received supplemental oxygen during his treatment. The doctor said he decided not to say the president was given oxygen on Saturday because he wanted to 'reflect the upbeat attitude of the team.'
Trump and first lady Melania Trump announced early Friday that they tested positive for COVID-19. Early that evening, the president was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) attacked former Donald Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during a fundraiser Monday, according to footage obtained by Breitbart News.
Breitbart News obtained footage of a fundraiser to support Gonzalez, who was one of the ten House Republicans to vote to impeach then-President Donald Trump. Former House Speaker John Boehner served as the special guest for the fundraiser.
In Breitbart News’s first report about the fundraiser, Gonzalez said he hopes for the political right to “diminish” and for the “center” to rise in the coming years.
Gonzalez then claimed that Meadows is the one person in the “Trump world” who is supporting his primary opponent, former Trump aide Max Miller. Trump has endorsed Miller and even held a fundraiser for the former Trump White House aide.
Boehner has a vehement hatred for Meadows.
Meadows, a House Freedom Caucus cofounder, helped lead the movement to remove Boehner as Speaker of the House. Meadows’ conservative coalition led to Boehner’s ouster in the fall of 2015.
Boehner called Meadows an “idiot” in 2017.
“He’s an idiot. I can’t tell you what makes him tick,” Boehner toldNew York Magazine.
“They can’t tell you what they’re for. They can tell you everything they’re against. They’re anarchists. They want total chaos. Tear it all down and start over. That’s where their mindset is,” Boehner said of the House Freedom Caucus.

Boehner also called Jordan “a terrorist as a legislator going back to his days in the Ohio House and Senate … A terrorist. A legislative terrorist.”
In this manner, it would appear that Gonzalez holds similar feelings toward the former Trump White House chief of staff.

“Mark Meadows is the person in the Trump world who is most angry with me and is most aggressively supporting my primary opponent,” Gonzalez said. “So, apparently, the Speaker and I feel the exact same way about Mark Meadows.”
