Jen Psaki

What are the chances?

The same guy who also won the undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal award just last month?

Is that even legal?

It's like the EGOT for insecure man-baby presidents.

All of these awards together.

And look, any other adult in this country would feel completely embarrassed by the patronizing way that Trump is showered with fake awards on a near daily basis.

That's just how Republicans have to treat this president.

And it's not just the fake awards, because every day some member of this administration says something straight to camera that tells you really all you need to know about the cult of Donald Trump.

And today, and there are a lot of competitors for this, but today the award for the most revealing quote goes to White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt when she said this in response to a question about the war in Iran.

If you've heard it from the president of the United States, obviously it's true.

If you've heard it from the president of the United States, obviously it's true.

I almost couldn't get through there.

That one I didn't.

There you go.

I mean, there is no moment in history under any president in any other White House where that has been less true.

That's the thing about that.

But that one sentence sort of perfectly sums up the way White House officials approach their job in this second Trump administration, doesn't it?

I mean, whatever comes out of the president's mouth, no matter how ridiculous it is, no matter how divorced from reality it is, no matter how much it contradicts facts or even the last thing he has said, Trump's word to them is the God-given truth and shall not be questioned ever.

Now, the danger, of course, is that it suggests Trump's advisors and staff don't think it's their job to tell the president he is wrong.

when he strays from reality, nor provide more extensive briefing materials to him when his knowledge is lacking, or dare I say, challenge him at all.
