Trump's Cabinet is a Liberal's Nightmare:
Spectator World ^ | 12/02/2025 | Neal Pollack

Posted on 12/02/2025 8:18:40 PM PST by SeekAndFind

“Some people will correct me. They love to correct me. Even though I’m right about everything,” President Trump was saying, but no one was about to correct the President at this December cabinet meeting, the last in a series of extremely long such affairs that TV has carried this year. At this point, YouTube might as well set up a 24-hour livestream from inside the White House, like the sorts of stunts that were popular at the dawn of the personal video era. Trump is always with us, and talking at us.

Before the roundtable of cabinet members listing their accomplishments and kissing the boss’s butt, Trump talked for nearly 30 minutes. Some highlights: “affordability” is a “fake narrative that Democrats talk about”; Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is “incompetent,” a “real dope” and “a stubborn ox who probably doesn’t like your President, your favorite President”; prices have come down substantially for “the fat drug for fat people”, and, stop the presses, “at some point in the not-so-distant future you’re not going to have income tax to pay.”

And lest someone test Donald Trump’s mental acuity, he put all doubt to rest by saying, “I sit here and do four news conferences a day and answer questions from very intelligent lunatics, you people. I’ll let you know when there’s something wrong with me. There will be some day. It happens to all of us. I think I’m sharper now than I was 25 years ago. I took a cognitive test. I asked “is it hard?” Biden didn’t have a news conference for eight months and you said he was fine. I went one day without doing a news conference and you all went back and wrote “what’s wrong with the President?” I read in the New York Times, ‘Is Trump sharp?’ Trump is sharp. They’re not sharp.”

The cabinet meeting was a liberal’s nightmare, with all their villains taking turns speaking. War Secretary Pete Hegseth used the word “lethality” several times, saying, “We’ve only just begun striking narco boats and putting terrorists at the bottom of the ocean.” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick extolled the virtues of the tariff regime, while Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that people were no longer wearing pajamas and slippers on airplanes, to which Trump said, “We’re saving our country. I don’t want to be braggadocious. Our country was down and it was never coming back.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi said her department was keeping men out of women’s sports, fighting DEI, antifa and sanctuary cities, and helping free J-6 rioters from prison.

Over in Homeland Security, Kristi Noem said Joe Biden “used this department to flood the country with terrorists. It’s our job to get them out. We’re going to send more home for the holidays, to make sure they can spend the holidays with their families.”

Meanwhile, the head of the Small Business Administration invited everyone to join her in daily Bible study, and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said “the Green New Scam is dead.”

RFK Jr. said the Trump administration is defeating “the mercantile interests of Big Pharma and the medical-industrial complex” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this was “the most transformational year in American foreign policy since the end of the Second World War.”

That all took more than an hour, after which Trump said, “I hope it wasn’t too long but it was very concise.” Then came everyone’s favorite segment, Q&A. An early question was about Elon Musk, whose hyperactivity was often a focus of the early-year cabinet meetings, before Trump tossed DoGE into the dustbin of history. A reporter asked if Trump and Musk were still friends. Trump said, sort of, he guesses. “We had one problem, I didn’t want everyone to have an electric car. And he makes electric cars.”

Of the attacks on Venezuelan boats, Trump said, “I want those boats taken out, and if we have to we’ll attack on land as well, just like we attacked on sea.” That was sort of ominous, and Hegseth added that even though he didn’t witness the “second strike” on a boat that’s creating controversy and congressional investigations, he hardly apologized for the action. He said, “We will eliminate that threat, and we’re proud to do it… these white bales are not Christmas gifts from Santa.”

“This is what’s called the fog of war,” Hegseth said, even though, technically, we’re not at war. “This is what you the press don’t see. You sit in your air conditioned offices or on Capitol Hill… while we’re doing dark and difficult things in the dead of night on behalf of the American people.”

The gathering ended with Trump talking about Minnesota welfare fraud to benefit Somali terrorist groups, which had him incensed, as it does all right-thinking people. “When I see what’s happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes, I don’t know how many lakes, they got a lotta lakes, it makes me mad. Our country’s at a tipping point. We could go bad. We could go one way or another. We’re going to go bad if we keep taking garbage into our country… if they come from hell and they complain and they do nothing but bitch, we don’t want ‘em in our country.”

Around the room, people pounded the table at that piece of closing rhetoric. The President had spoken on behalf of the American people. Trump, leading the greatest cabinet the world has ever seen from “the most transparent administration in history,” was very sharp indeed.

“We’ve only just begun striking narco boats and putting terrorists at the bottom of the ocean.”

Hegseth is by the far the best leader of the armed forces we have had in decades.

So what’s YOUR take on this, SeekAndFind? You posted it...

There are 15 cabinet secretaries.

The current 15 is better than all of the previous Trump administration cabinet secretaries IMO.

Even Pam Bondi is better than Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions.

This is despite the Republican senate, not because of the Republican senate.

This is why the Seditious 6.
This is why the press daily invents a new thing and tries to convince us we’re at odds with each other. (e.g. Epstein Epstein Epstein until it was clear it couldn’t derail Trump, then silence).
This is why the unelected judiciary is writing opinions that not only lack any sense but absolutely defy the direction the Supreme Court has already given, and why that same Court and Congress do nothing about it.
This is why the trolls here and patriots.win and gab and at the treehouse and Breitbart and so forth are trying So Very Hard to demoralize us.
And this is why they’re ramping up the violence. (Get your legalities in order and eyes up).

This President and this cabinet know what we know about how the will of the vast majority of people, even most of the regular Dem vote, has been subverted, perverted.

They’re doing the necessary things that are not Nice by the RINO playbook of losing comfortably, and taking away the means — money, people, and controls — by which the globalists run things through the uniparty.

I love ALL of the cabinet choices. They are what I voted for. I cannot believe that President Trump has not been in office a year yet! He has fit so much in!

She's the weak link in Trump's Cabinet. Like you said, still better than Barr and Sessions.

At least she's a bimbo, not Deep State.

Trump's cabinet purrs like a 12-cylinder Ferrari.

A beautiful team of engines synchronized for maximum power and a smooth tide, even in rugged terrains like Los Angeles, Washington DC, Memphis, and soon in New York and Chicago.

She actually follows the law and doesn’t have judges in her pocket like Heinrich Garland did

Barr was playing for the other team

Sessions was just weak

I detect an effort to want perfection and reject that which is not perfect. Good luck with that!

"At least she's a bimbo . . .

Just because Bondi's beauty is perfection, does not make her a bimbo. First Lady, Melania, is perfection. Her influence on Donald is also perfection. I do not expect you to call her a bimbo. '

Our senate has sucked a$$ since Turtle and Romney and others are the “leadership”. Uniparty everywhere.

Not sure why the shot at Pollack.
I didn’t find anything in this piece that was negative towards Trump. The last paragraph….

Around the room, people pounded the table at that piece of closing rhetoric. The President had spoken on behalf of the American people. Trump, leading the greatest cabinet the world has ever seen from “the most transparent administration in history,” was very sharp indeed.

The Collectivist Left has spent 60 years infiltrating and subverting the critical institutions of society, education, media, law, etc.

And the single most important task facing us, today, is rooting them out and returning them to their proper tasks.
