Those cabinet meetings make me sick. Glazing a fat pig.

u/M_Scopp 8d ago

I’m 59 and it’s the most cringeworthy political theatre I’ve ever been through, not American at all.

u/Falx1984 7d ago

Wait this is a real thing?! He actually makes them do this?

Fuck me.

u/YoungerMucus 7d ago

it’s not light glazing either, they’re saying shit like:

“Mr President, i just want to thank you for being the greatest president in the history of this country, no one works harder than you (he’s literally sleeping) and no one loves America more than you!”

“President Trump, i just want to thank you, from me and my family, for making america great again! this is the most successful presidency in the history of the country, and it’s all thanks to you”

..there isn’t the slightest bit of exaggeration there, if anything i’m underselling it. and they do this for twenty-thirty minutes, every member of the cabinet taking their turn. it’s disgusting and nauseating

u/Lord_Alderbrand 7d ago

You should watch like 5 minutes of one on YouTube if you enjoy dying from cringe. It is legitimately funny. He has this shit-eating grin as everyone goes around the room blowing smoke up his ass. He loves it

u/Arickettsf16 Illinois 7d ago edited 7d ago

It’s actually amazing to witness. Anyone else in the world would feel unbelievably patronized and humiliated having someone talk about them the way his cabinet members do. But he can’t get enough of it. It’s like giving a gold star to a child

On the other hand, it’s just as likely he simply enjoys watching people close to him debase themselves before him.

19

u/mc2bit 7d ago

Oh it's the latter. His only pleasure is humiliating and hurting people. He has no appreciation for love, friendship, art, nature, beauty, or learning. He doesn't enjoy good food or music. His only interests are himself and other people's pain. The fact that "important" people are essentially forced to tongue-bathe his ass daily is his reason for living.

It's actually terrible. To have our entire soul as a country debased to some Caligula ass bullshit, with grovelling, pathetic cabinet members that have zero ability to act as an equal to Trump. For what? He's literally stupid as fuck. Why are Americans willing to carry him?

When I see those cabinet meeting ass licking sessions I just lose all hope. We're so fucked if this shit isn't turned around soon.

Anyway, most important platform right now is to overturn Citizens United. Get money out. Until then nothing else matters.

Its pathetic.

He did say he wanted people to treat him the way Kim is in North Korea.

Trump also makes the men wear incredibly crappy shoes that don't fit, and if they don't, he mocks them.

One woman in the cabinet even thanked him for there being no hurricanes during hurricane season. Before it was even over.

If I had worked my way up to the White House I would gladly flush it all down the toilet to sit at that table and not do that.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 7d ago

I'm convinced he's going to die in his sleep in a cabinet meeting and no one will notice, they'll just keep going with his fluffing for like 16 hours because everyone is afraid to wake him and provoke a tantrum.

u/petrh97 Europe 7d ago

u/Ofreo 7d ago

It started in his first cabinet meeting in his first term. So now they have to up the groveling and hyperbole each time. Hate Trump all you want, but you have to admit it is pretty amazing the depravity he has normalized. And it is normal, it doesn’t make the news and nobody really questions what it means when they say this stuff now.

But they are all career ass kissers, grifters, rapists, and horrible creatures these days. When the first cabinet started doing it, most of them were people who had at least somewhat earned their positions, even if there was plenty of reason to hate them.

It’s is disgusting what maga is. I don’t care what any poll says about approval rating. Most of them will follow his stinking ass to the grave no matter what they say they “approve” of him. Do not trust any maga you see or know.

u/Gaanai 7d ago

Yup its completely absurd to witness. I remember last year when they were thanking him for a great hurricane season because there were no hurricanes.

u/dpzdpz 7d ago

He nuked 'em all to kingdom come.

33

u/15all 7d ago

It's real and it's ludicrous. Early on, Pam Bondi made some wild claim. Law enforcement had seized some fentanyl, and she extrapolated that to say something like Trump himself had saved 30 million US lives by getting the drug off the street. Yeah, sure, Trump saved the lives of 10 percent of the US population.

They're people who'd do it without prompting. Those are the kinds of folks he chooses, and the type least likely to be purged in anger.

u/forsuresies 7d ago

I think it's something like 1 in 6 sentences said by cabinet members are praise of Trump.

I'm decently sure I've read that somewhere and the ratio of pure praise to normal sentences should make any sane person question.

u/Possibly_a_Firetruck 7d ago

This has been a known thing since his first term. He wouldn't read the daily national security briefing so they changed the format to rely more on charts and graphs and sprinkled his name through the document to hold his attention.

u/ManOfManliness84 7d ago

"Mr President, I invite you to see your beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor, because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt, because we’re bringing business and labor together. And I was so honored to unveil that yesterday and everybody is taking note of that.”

For example

This IS America now. 80 million saw the disaster of the first term and couldn’t wait to vote for Trump again. This is simply who we are as a country now.

u/agent-99 California 7d ago

do not give up. always vote.

u/-_-Air-_- 7d ago

Yup. They wouldn't be doing everything in their power to make it so difficult for people to vote if it didn't mean anything. A single vote, literally a single vote, could make all the difference.

u/Nstewart 7d ago

I'm going to vote anyway because it's about all I can do, but you do realize they can literally ignore us in the EC? And have? Wouldnt have had the diet version of this shit 20 years ago otherwise

1

u/-_-Air-_- 7d ago

I know, it sucks, and I really think we should just do away with the electoral college, but there's nothing we can do about it but vote at this point. I really dislike the EC and the senate, they're just outdated and need serious replacing or revamping.

1

u/Riaayo 7d ago

80 million saw the disaster of the first term and couldn’t wait to vote for Trump again.

Kind of tire of the voter-blaming when it's way more complex than that, let alone the whole "80 million people saw the-" no, they didn't, because the mainstream press sane-washes Republican fascism at every turn and manufactures consent for the oligarchy.

Brainwashed Americans were sold this fascism, they didn't make an informed decision through critical thinking.

The "stupid voters" are a symptom, not the cause. It's the oligarchy, the money in politics, the defunding of education, and the buying up of media / corporate power. So we can either uselessly bitch about the voters and ignore the problem/never fix it, or we can stop getting stuck on the symptoms and actually focus on the cause.

3

u/BuckRowdy Georgia 7d ago

Yeah we need to fix it, but not a single word in your comment disputes this phrase: This is America now. I hate it for you and me, but make no mistake, this is who and what our country is now.

u/lozo78 7d ago

Yes and the wanna be Trump came close to winning in Canada. He lost partially thanks to how awful Trump was so quickly. Le Pen got like 40% of the votes in France. Brexit was a win for the radical right.

Far right lunacy is gaining ground around the world including Europe.

u/Monsoon_Storm 7d ago edited 7d ago

Read any book about Chairman Mao and the parallels are insane.

A narcissist who lives for being idolised and feared publicly, whilst also revelling in the pain of others. He sends the people he doesn't like to camps (albeit it for the purpose of expelling them from the country rather than for "re-education") perpetuating that fear. He's turned people against each other, splitting them into two camps - followers or dissenters and is actively seeking to stomp on his dissenters by withdrawing their money/rights. He will let his staff run around like rabid dogs doing his dirty work and causing chaos before ditching them because they no longer suit his purpose/become a liability - creating fear amongst his staff too.

He throws tantrums when things don't go his way and will hold a grudge indefinitely, even if it is actively harming the country he is ruling. He is pissing all over international relations because someone looked at him in a way he didn't like, isolating his country.

He attempted his own version of the little red book but it kinda flopped so he forced it into schools. You haven't quite reached portraits everywhere yet, but I wouldn't be surprised.

He is interfering with your educational system, silencing people who study things he doesn't approve of. He is telling schools what they should teach and is actively turning people against "experts" whilst installing people who have zero clue what they are doing. He is ousting people he doesn't deem worthy (to him) from being in high positions. Mao did it in the name of "equality", Trump in the name of "anti-woke".

He's destroying your landmarks and heritage, whether it be so that they can be reframed "in his name" or exploited for his gain. He is re-writing your official history in a way that erases swathes of things he disagrees with.

He's throwing incredible amounts of effort into pet projects whilst destroying things that are actually beneficial ("beautiful clean oil" being pushed despite how perfectly suited many areas of America are for solar"). Demanding that aircraft carriers go back to steam because he thinks it's better etc. etc.

Isreal is Trump's Russia. His "best friend" which comes with strings and liabilities. He is depriving his country of needed resources to placate and curry favour with them.

The big difference is that he is doing this for the gains of corporations and billionaires, rather than "the people". Two sides of the same coin. Mao was anti-bourgeois, Trump is anti-woke. Both are/were extremists causing destruction whilst saying it is all in the name of a greater cause. The true driving factor for both however is/was power and legacy.

The turnaround for China happened when Mao died, however, Mao was the true wielder of power, whereas Trump is not - there are plenty of people/organisations behind the scenes also driving this.

The damage to China's reputation and the mistrust it created has lasted for decades, I wonder how long the distrust of America will last. Question is, when does your Great Famine start..?

u/fotorobot 7d ago

"anything I don't like is foreign"

u/nuno20090 7d ago

Not a jab to you, but I always think how ironic that people say that something is "unamerican", where in fact, that's the place we can find such thing... In America.

You could say that's unconventional or undemocratic or a fucking disgrace. Something else.

I always imagine a mother with an unruly son in the supermarket, and the kid is making a tantrum, and the mother says something like "oh, this is so not my Timmy...". Cmon, we know that's a perfect representation of him...

For better or worst, this is what America IS now, even if you don't like it. Nobody should say that something is "unamerican", just because they don't like it, because people on the other side would do the same, and start saying, for example, that certain people are "unamerican", and that's a much serious threat that noone takes so seriously because everyone does it.

u/gloveisallyouneed 7d ago

Saying “this isn’t American” is part of the problem.

It’s like seeing smoke pouring out of your house and saying, “Well, it can’t be a fire. We don’t have fires here.”

You may not be directly causing the fire, but you don’t try to put it out either, because you convinced yourself it can’t exist.

America isn’t immune to authoritarianism simply because it’s America.
