Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous cabinet meeting. It lasted four hours. I watched it all. I'm going to bring you the lowlights in a very abbreviated form.

Donald Trump 1:07
You can't handle it. You have an incompetent governor there. You have an incompetent governor in California. Gavin. I know him very well. He's incompetent. He's a nice guy, looks good. Hi, everybody.

How did Trump describe his relationship with black women?

Donald Trump 1:19
How you doing? He's got some strange hand action going. I don't know what the hell his problem is. It's a little weird, to be honest. There's a little something shaky going on there. But, you know...
Ben Meiselas 1:29
This was Donald Trump's hand during this disastrous cabinet meeting. Okay. Then Donald Trump says that he actually likes being called a dictator. He says that most people say, if you stop crime, become our dictator, Donald. No one is saying that, but Trump talking about becoming a dictator and being a dictator at this cabinet meeting, play this clip.
Donald Trump 1:51
In terms, and will be the big subject of the next election, uh, Think of it. They are instead of saying Trump's right about crime. It's really bad in Chicago. You have a guy in Illinois, the governor of Illinois, saying that crime has been much better in Chicago recently and Trump is a dictator. And most people say, if you call him a dictator, if he stops crying, he can be whatever he wants. I'm not a dictator, by the way, but he can be whatever he wants.
Ben Meiselas 2:23
Then on the topic of being a dictator, Donald Trump says, I have the right to do anything that I want. I don't have to follow laws. I am the president, and that gives me the right to do anything. Here he is saying it. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:38
So... I would have much more respect for Pritzker if he'd call me up and say, I have a problem.

What bizarre remarks did Trump make about Gavin Newsom?

Donald Trump 2:42
Can you help me fix it? I would be so happy to do it. I don't love, not that I don't have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States. If I think our country's in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it. No problem going in and solving, you know, his difficulties. But it would be nice if they'd call and they'd say, would you do it?
Ben Meiselas 3:05
Then Donald Trump attacks President Zelensky of Ukraine, saying he's not innocent. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 3:11
But it'll be an economic war, and an economic war is gonna be bad, and it's gonna be bad for Russia, and I don't want that. Now, I have to also see, because not everybody, you know, Zelensky's not exactly innocent either, okay? You know, it takes two people to tango, and I say it all the time. You gotta get them together. I get along with Zelensky now, But we have a much different relationship because now we're not paying any money to Ukraine.
Ben Meiselas 3:39
Then when Donald Trump is confronted with the fact that Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, says that Putin will never meet with Zelensky, will never sign a deal with Zelensky, and won't even entertain anything related to Zelensky because Russia says Zelensky is not legitimate. What's your response, Donald? Because you've been talking about ceasefire deals, trilateral meetings, security guarantees. Russia is saying the opposite. What's your response? Here, play this clip.
I have a question for Steve Whitcock, if I may. This past weekend, Sergey Lavrov was saying that Putin will not sign a peace deal with Zelenskyy because Russia views him as illegitimate.
