Why was this cabinet meeting described as a 'glaze fest' and who was fawning over the president?
Donald Trump loves to be the center of attention. He loves to be on television. His ego is enormous, megalomaniac, but he just loves it. And I don't know if the media is helping to stroke that ego because they ran most of it live. I don't remember any cabinet meetings being run live for that long. And he's unhinged. He just rambles, even with a script in front of him.
Yeah, it's unbelievable. He rambles. He gives the floor to a bunch of people, basically, so they can do these public glaze fests where the cabinet members are all just kissing his ass, going around the circle. He's the greatest man who's ever lived, yada, yada. And then he veers off-tangent, and today he has basically contradicted himself. I'm not sure if you caught this. Out of the two hours so far, it's still on as we're recording this, he, as part of that, said,
basically that iran's begging for a deal but he doesn't know if we're willing to do that so he's kind of like walked back i thought we had productive talks i thought the war was won and we had productive talks on monday um or is that just market manipulation clearly yeah well and then he says and i teased you i teased you guys with a gift he's like what the fuck is he talking about i mean you're right basically it's a circle you know what um because they're just all all doing that but yeah he contradicted himself the thing is is that and who is he negotiating with i do think that there is some truth to this idea of market manipulation. I have been saying that Donald Trump has imaginary friends in Iran that he's speaking to.
Like, I had imaginary friends when I was a kid, but I grew out of it. And, you know, I'm not trying to figure out how to end a war that I started for no reason. So... You know, I just don't understand. He's sitting there thumbing through the book. I was looking for like something that, you know, the folder and it's all laminated and it's written out for him. And so he reads a little bit of it and then he goes off on a tangent and you see Marco Rubio's like, Pete Hex said this like, because they don't know where he's going to go and what he's going to say. And none of it makes sense. He took questions, didn't really have a good answer. Why are we allowing this loony person to run our lives and to run the country.
Why?
That's a question I wake up asking myself every day, Don. It's absurd. It's insane that we're allowing this guy to be in this position. He's the worst possible president for this moment. And we have this situation where he's effectively being managed like a child himself. Like you said, they have the papers out in front of him. There's reporting yesterday from NBC News that he's getting just his briefings are now just two minute montages. of things blowing up an official told nbc news so all the positive successful strikes he's not getting the negative information because they're trying to protect his fragile ego and then you have the republican party inventing fake awards for him he got a new america first award after he got the fifa peace prize like they're treating him they believe he's a child that's how they're behaving and effectively
A participation trophy is what he got. Yeah.
How did live media coverage and the president's need for attention shape the cabinet meeting atmosphere?
They rail against like everybody gets a trophy. Everybody, people are such snowflakes and they're doing the same thing. You're right. They're treating him like a, like a juvenile, like a child.
Yeah, they're treating him just like a child, and that's how he's behaving. His decision-making is – I mean, have you seen anything like this? I mean, you've been covering this – you've been covering this stuff for decades. Has there ever been a president that's been managed, stage-managed, like a child holds two-hour cabinet meetings of people glazing him?
No, no, no. I'm glad you said that because that was really my next thought is that he's sitting there doing – talking about – he's going through the thing and he's like and then we have bombs here and bombs there and this there and we've done this we've taken this we've had this sort of uh what do you call a mine whatever mine whatever we're doing this and it's like anytime you are talking about you know what you're blowing up and how big it is and how bad it is it means that something is not going right i've never heard any president go through the specific artillery and what we're doing and it's it's as if
