Kellyanne Conway has done it again. It just doesn’t take much for her to stir up controversy. During a picture in the Oval Office she sat on her feet on the couch.

Here's my take on it. I think she was trying to get out of the way of another picture being taken. But her choice of pose is quite interesting. It shows that she feels like she owns the place and can do whatever she wants. Putting feet on furniture shows ownership. Has she gotten that comfortable during her month in as Trump’s adviser? Apparently so.

She clearly does not feel connected to the group--doing things very differently than they are. If she felt like she was a part of the group she’d stand with them. Instead she is in solidarity with Trump, seated.

Is she Childlike? Yes. But how does she differ from other presidents who have put their feet on the desk? They were showing superiority and control. She may be showing that in a passive/aggressive manner. It's just a glimpse into her mind.

Is she the victim of a double standard? Absolutely not. She’s a victim of herself.

The politicos want to extrapolate this moment into a tell-tale about the whole way she approaches her job. This is just a moment in time. But ‘Alternative Facts’ is just 2 words that say so much about the level of respect she has for the american people.

Get it together Kellyanne.
