Summary

After pausing the damaging tariff policy that rattled global markets, Donald Trump convened a cabinet meeting described as “Kremlinesque,” where officials lavished praise in what critics say has become a North Korean-style propaganda show.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins called Trump “family,” while Attorney General Pam Bondi falsely claimed he was “overwhelmingly elected” and should control the national budget.

Elon Musk and others praised his “fantastic leadership.”

Trump admitted to “transition difficulty” but maintained “it’s all going to work out really well.”

    How anybody can view Trump as some sort of manly Alpha Male is beyond me. I watched the footage of this, and the level of adulation was sickening, and would be for anyone, no matter what they achieved.

      He has the thinnest skin, and is such a massive crybaby about everything. The man cannot make a statement without complaining about some way he’s been unfairly persecuted. It has to be the furthest thing from “alpha” imaginable.

    Trump is transitioning? That explains why he is wearing so much makeup. Maybe he can get a few tips from Giuliani.

      Marco Rubio suicide watch has been sooo cathartic during this administration. The Zelenskyy blowup especially - after decades of waiting and maneuvering, deal brokering and sycophancy, he finally has the job where he can ‘outshine’ Kissinger… and the wave he’s riding is with these idiotic blowhards.

      In his mind he actually does think all his businesses were successful, because he himself got away unscathed when they one by one failed spectacularly, and he always blamed someone else…

      It also shows why he boasts to never have gone bankrupt … indeed personally he never has, just his whole entrepreneurship floats on top of a lake of bankruptcies and fraud.
