Trump's SAD Admin Just Got Embarrassed By The New York Times

Ajouté : 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]a the secretary of state the United States,  the widow Marco Rubio, our chief diplomat of the country, the person essentially in charge of  negotiating with the rest of the planet, recently said on national television that the current  president of the United States is, in his words, the only leader in the world capable of ending the  wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Sudan. The only one.

[00:00:28]Not that he would be the best, not that he'd be  the most effective. The only one out of the seven or eight billion human beings on Earth, Donald  Trump is the chosen one. He's it. He's the guy.

[00:00:42]We are going to be there to facilitate that and  make that possible and make sure that both sides are talking. And by the way, President Trump is  the only leader in the world, acknowledged by all the Europeans, the only leader in the world that  can talk to both of them and bring them both to a meeting is Donald J. Trump, the president of the  United States. He's the only one, the only leader in the world who can make this happen, who can  even bring people together to begin to talk about it in a serious way is President Trump. He's the  only one in the world that can do that right now.

[00:01:08]And I'll remind you that this is the same Marco  Rubio that Donald Trump called little Marco in 2016 handsized jokes and all. The same Marco Rubio  who in 2016 said that the policies of Donald Trump would make America a third world country. that  Marco Rubio has now become, according to the New York Times analysis that was published over  Memorial Day weekend, the single most aggressive brown-noser in the ego emperor's entire cabinet.  And the Times analyzed more than 12 hours of Trump cabinet meeting footage. You know, those long  televised ones that the president has started broadcasting on regular cable, the ones that  Trump has found so boring that he dozes off in the middle of them. Well, according to the New  York Times math, on average, at least one out of every six sentences spoken in those meetings was  either flattery directed at Trump, credit for an accomplishment that he didn't actually accomplish,  or an attack on Trump's political enemies.

[00:02:17]One in six. It's actual data on the amount of  brown-nosing inside the United States cabinet of the United States federal government. The cabinet  is now functionally a televised praise circle that takes place surrounding the president. And I  hate to be fair to Marco Rubio, but to be fair, he is the volume leader mostly because he talks the  most. But the intensity champion here appears to be Pete Kegsbreath Hegsith who runs the Department  of Defense and has been on television multiple times this year explicitly saying that Donald  Trump is doing things to the military that no other commander-in-chief, dead or alive, has been  able to do. Hell, in my opinion, Donald Trump has done things that no foreign enemy has ever been  able to do to our military. We're losing in Iran, by the way. Howard Lutnik, Jeffrey Epstein's  best friend and current commerce secretary, the guy who keeps showing up to bilateral trade  negotiations in countries he's clearly never even heard of before, is also one of the top performers  at Brownnosing for Donald Trump. Now, JD Vance, he stands in contrast. He was found by the Times to  specialize in a different skill set. He actually barely flatters Trump directly. However, he is  the cabinet's go-to attack dog on any of Donald Trump's political enemies. I see this as purely a  trial for 2028. Paul Krugman called this dynamic in the cabinet Pyongyang level flattery. Pyongyang  as in the capital of of North Korea, as in Kim Jong-un's country. You have a Nobel Prizewinning  economist comparing the cabinet of the United States, the people who serve at the pleasure of  the president of a constitutional republic to the people that are standing in front of the cameras  in the most repressive single family dictatorship on the planet. And I hate to say this, but he's  not exaggerating. The Times itself has described what happens in these cabinet meetings as quote  witnessing courters at Versailles before Louisie the 14th. Louis the 14th famously was the king who  said I am the state and that is Donald Trump and that is why everything sucks. Donald Trump cannot  stand to have an honest feedback loop anywhere inside his White House. When the president says,  "The war is going great, gas prices are peanuts, the economy is the best it's ever been," no  one in his circle will tell him that the war is a global humiliation, that gas is at 449, and  that the polls have him underwater in every single major issue, including his favorite of border  security. The people around him tell him he's a genius. And the plan never changes. The fix never  comes. Donald Trump just gets louder, bolder. The cabinet gets louder and bolder. The cameras keep  rolling and the country keeps drifting toward the rocks. And if you don't agree with Donald  Trump or if you don't flatter him enough, well, you better get your LinkedIn ready because you  will be replaced with someone who does. And look, if you look back at history, every cabinet is set  up differently. Some want the best and brightest.

[00:05:48]Some want dissenters. But all of them are meant to  discuss the the pros and the cons of policy. The job of a cabinet secretary isn't just to flatter  the boss. It's to give him the bad news. It's to give him reality. It's to walk into the Oval  Office and say, "Sir, we cannot do that thing that you want us to do." And that used to happen  in this country. It does not happen anymore.

[00:06:14]And fortunately, the New York Times, they  just happen to put a number on it. One out of every six sentences. That's the death of a  constitutional republic measured down to a decimal point. But I got to tell you, for my ego, I want  to feel just a little bit like Donald Trump. So, drop me a comment and unload your best North  Korean Trumpian levels of praise upon me. Or you can also tell me how terrible I am.  Either way, drop a comment. And like it.
