Trump's Big CON: "He's So Pretty", Cabinet Edition, (AKA Trump is a Psycho-Narcissistic Con Man (CONt., Part 20))

Too fun, and true.

Read the Washington Post, Trump’s Cabinet is the absolute best of all time. Ever., which states:

"It’s about time somebody gives Donald Trump the credit he deserves. Even if that person is Donald Trump.

'We’re doing a lot of great things,' the president said at the start of a Cabinet meeting Monday. Further, he said, 'we are getting tremendous accolades for what we’re doing.' What’s more, 'the Justice Department is doing a fantastic job,' while the economy is growing 'phenomenally,' except for the drag from those hurricanes — the handling of which, Trump would again say Monday, earns him an 'A-plus' grade. He also boasted about his yet-to-be-passed (or even proposed) tax cuts — the 'largest tax cuts in the history of our country.'

But the highest praise of all came for his Cabinet — or, rather, his own acumen in choosing this truly exceptional group of people seated at the table around him. 'There are those that are saying it’s one of the finest group of people ever assembled as a candidate — as a Cabinet,' he said. (Trump’s candidate-Cabinet mix-up followed his Friday mishap when he praised parents who sacrifice for the 'furniture,' rather than future, of their children.) 'This is a tremendous amount of talent,' Trump continued. 'We have just gotten really, really, great people. I’m very proud of them.'

And I’m very proud of Trump for recognizing the greatness of his Cabinet. But he is being modest. This isn’t just 'one of the finest' Cabinets. There has never been a Cabinet like this before — and there probably will never be one like it in the furniture.

Sure, George Washington sat around the Cabinet table with John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox and Edmund Randolph. Abraham Lincoln won the Civil War with William Seward, Salmon Chase and Edwin Stanton. Franklin Roosevelt beat the Depression and the Nazis with Henry Morgenthau, Harold Ickes and Henry Stimson.

But Washington didn’t have a professional-wrestling executive in his Cabinet, nor an education secretary foresighted enough to warn the country about the danger posed to schools by bears. He didn’t even have an education secretary!

Lincoln didn’t think to hire a Cabinet secretary who proposed abolishing the very Cabinet agency he runs, as Trump has found in Energy Secretary Rick Perry. As Lincoln would have said: Oops!

FDR never had on his Cabinet someone he’d compared to a child molester, as Trump has with Ben Carson, his secretary of housing and urban development.

No matter how you measure it — billionaires, white men, oddballs — this Cabinet is extraordinary. Alexander Hamilton’s entire treasury probably didn’t have the amount of money EPA chief Scott Pruitt has spent on a soundproof phone booth, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has spent on her security detail, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his wife spent taking a government jet to Kentucky, where they viewed the eclipse, or tried to spend, requesting a government plane for their honeymoon."
