Two days ago, King Trump arranged for a Cabinet meeting at which the members praised him effusively for his superb leadership. As they demeaned themselves on camera, one mentioned his beautiful face on banners across Washington, D.C., while another proclaimed that Our Dear Leader has done more to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize than any President in U.S. history. Meanwhile, Trump looked on passively, soaking in the praise like a bloated sponge.
Of course, no one mentioned the failed peace talks with Putin, Trump's fondness for dictators, his fickle and destructive tariffs, his cruel treatment of immigrants, his overt racism, his ongoing revenge tour, his plan to send National Guard troops into large, Democratic cities or his constant grifting. They know that any criticism or well-intended suggestions might put them on his hit list.
Praise is the life blood of our Narcissist-in-Chief. Nothing else truly matters.
