With Tuesday’s White House Cabinet meeting chugging past the two-hour mark, President Donald Trump ‘s eyes fluttered and closed. His budget director busied himself doodling a fluffy cloud. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was lucky enough to speak early, but the title on his nameplate was misspelled.
The sleepy, and occasionally slipshod, gathering nonetheless ended with a flurry of news. Trump declared that he didn’t want Somalis in the U.S. and Hegseth cited the “ fog of war ” in defending a follow-up strike on an alleged drug-carrying boat in the Caribbean Sea in September.
The president started things off by noting that it was the last time his Cabinet would gather until 2026. And, though marathon sessions with his top advisers lavishing praise have become a Trump trademark since he returned to the White House, this latest installment felt at times like a holiday break was needed.
Trump offered lengthy opening comments largely rehashing his key previous policy announcements from recent months. He also repeated old grievances, going back to his falsehoods about having won the 2020 election.
*SNIP* Another indication that things were dragging came from budget director Russell Vought, who was spotted sketching a bucolic scene on White House letterhead.
Vought drew mountains framed by pine trees topped by the kind of friendly-seeming clouds that public television legend Bob Ross preferred to crowd his serene landscape paintings with. The budget chief also sketched an arrow underneath his mountain. Where it was supposed to be pointing was not clear.

So, now? The AP is suddenly concerned about a sleepy POTUS? That’s rich. They missed a ton of sleepy potus jokes when pedo joe was there.
Exactly.
I’ve seen a few more ‘reports’ on President Trumps ‘health’ these days, too.
The LefTards got nothing. NOTHING to offer America. All they can do is make stuff up and snipe. Commie Losers.
AP is still allowed to attend these meetings?? Why?
Ha ha. AP “news”
“ mounting concerns about the President’s health”
aka daily mindless repetitive questions thrown by the lamestream MEdia at pressers, not for the purpose of obtaining answers
There has to be a counter strategy for dealing with this tactic
The MSM is so hell bent on portraying him as incompetent, they’ll lie as usual to give people that impression.
Even ***IF*** that were true, it still puts him light years ahead of the fraud we had in office last term.
F’n AP, now they’re so observant, nit picking at a cabinet conference, yet they never said a word during sleepy Joe’s tenure.
LOL, there is a hug me forest of Caribbean Pine being planted in Venezuela .
A forest of Caribbean pine continues to be planted in the states of Monagas and Anzoátegui in southeastern Venezuela.
The company Maderas del Orinoco that is carrying out the project reported that “at least five million saplings of Caribbean pine are being planted in the Uverito Forest,” the third largest man-made forest in the world.
The company’s director of Planning and Communication, César Torrealba, announced that the saplings are being planted in “4,000 hectares in the south of Monagas and Anzoátegui to reinforce the sustainable forestry project of Venezuela.”
Also, there are native pines in Carabobo state of Venezuela.
After all, they have to have something to hang their ornaments on this Christmas.
lol… huge forest, not hug me forest.
AP, Yahoo, Politico, PBS...all major propaganda agencies should be barred
“..this latest installment felt at times like a holiday break was needed.”
The reporter “felt” a break was needed. That summarizes the utter collapse of journalism. Reporters used to tell us the facts, now they tell us their feelings.
The “Great Covfeffe Controversy” of 2017, lives on.
I have no problem with factually correct mockery.
AP aka Always Propaganda
And most of the vacation days were taken in the first 100 days, as he recovered from the campaign.
PravdABDNC thinks people are not on to them.

Sounds like a staff meeting. Been there.
