Today, Donald Trump spent all afternoon basking in the praise of his Clown Car Cabinet while his economy continues to spiral and working families struggle to afford higher prices and find jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on how to make life better and more affordable for Americans, Trump\u2019s goons spent the entirety of the meeting sucking up to their dear leader: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RFK Jr<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cYou are going to save the whales of the East Coast.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi Noem<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cMr. President, first of all, thank you for the opportunity to work for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lori Chavez-DeRemer<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cMr. President, I invite you to see your big, beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Bessent<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cOur country has never been so secure, thanks to you. \u2026 You have the overwhelming mandate from the American people. \u2026 You, sir, are restoring trust to government.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Bessent: <\/strong>\u201cI have to tell you, thanks to you, when I go into a restaurant or stop by a hotel doorman, I am the most popular person there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke Rollins<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cI do believe we’re in a revolution. 1776 was the first one. 1863 or so, with Abraham Lincoln, was the second. This is the third, with Donald Trump leading the way, and we are saving America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Witkoff<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cMr. President, working for this government, for you, is the greatest honor of my life. I tell it to everybody, and I really do feel that way, and I thank you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Witkoff<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cThere’s only one thing I wish for. That that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since … this Nobel award was ever talked about to receive that reward. Beyond your success is game changing out in the world today. And I hope everyone one day wakes up and realizes that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pete Hegseth<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cFrom the troops directly, which they ask me to say all the time, thank you for your leadership.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trump fills his schedule with ego boosts from his lackeys in front of the cameras, working families are worried<\/a> about how they\u2019re going to make ends meet. Trump\u2019s reckless economic policies are jacking up costs on everything from groceries<\/a> to gas<\/a>, making it even more difficult to find a job<\/a>, and putting the country at risk of a recession<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
