Diplomatic Corps

Description

C.J. unleashes Diplomatic Corps trivia in briefing room fury—the Dean, longest-serving ambassador, crowns this hierarchy enforcing brutal arrival-order precedence for Oval credential rites. Thailand's Sumatra surges first, Sweden's Peter Hans shadows, Argentina's Renee Ernesto presses, Burkina Faso's Noah Jolla lingers, Britain's delayed envoy fractures sequence. Shadows White House diplomacy with tenure-based authority, binding foreign envoys in ritual chain that dictates protocol precedence and amplifies arrival tensions amid press scrutiny.
