Agatha Christie redux in the White House: now there are two

Here's the graffiti version of a "power photo) - Donald Trump pretending to be presidential, to his left, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Sean Spicer, Mike Flynn and seated in the middle is Vice President Mike Pence. A photograph depicting failed leadership.

Every White House has it's "power photo". It's typically a particularly well staged portrait, created to depict power in action.
  
This photo was intended to exhibit high level
executive authority- like, "Look at us, we are so important!", A top heaving team, working with their once exulted (now deflated!) leader, Donald Trump.  

Guess what happened? They are now a failed group of miserable people.

Will the National Portrait Gallery put this picture in their White House collections?  (Maybe the gallery can create a dedicated Apprentice room.)

This photograph is surely "Rockwellien"? Certainly, Norman Rockwell would have created a wonderful rendering, were he alive to cover the fall out created by each departing person who was forced to leave the administration.

In my opinion, this photograph has a sense of being a modern Agatha Christie mystery playbill cover. 

Who is the next one to disappear?
