A Grandfather Clock, Windmills and Tariffs: Inside Trump’s Rollicking Cabinet Meeting

WASHINGTON—Donald Trump approaches the interior design of the White House much like he does the rest of his presidency: by tapping powers that others left dormant or delegated.
“If I see anything that I like, I’m allowed to take it,” Trump told reporters Tuesday during a meeting in the newly overhauled Cabinet Room in the West Wing.

During Tuesday’s edition, Trump discussed how he personally sifted through the White House archives for paintings he wanted to display in the Cabinet Room—and selected matching frames. He picked out one painting from a private room in the White House so it could be displayed more prominently. And he even grabbed a grandfather clock from the State Department after admiring it on a visit to Foggy Bottom. “Marco, I love this clock,” Trump recalled saying to Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the visit. After initially trying to persuade Rubio to give up the clock, he changed tactics: “I said, ‘Marco, I have the right to do it.’”

He labeled CNN “the enemy” while also taking several questions from CNN’s correspondent in the room (“I like to watch the enemy. You learn from the enemy,” Trump said). He mused about his dislike of windmills (recalling how one friend was upset they were “different shapes, different sizes, different colors”). And then he discussed the merits of a federal takeover of Washington (“We could run D.C. I mean, we’re looking at D.C.,” he said).

Toward the end of the meeting, Trump began polling his cabinet secretaries on whether he should have gold leaf applied to the crown molding in the Cabinet Room.

I mean I see people having downtime at their jobs, but this was a LOT of wasted time for people who have enormous responsibilities??[/quote]

Better than them governing…[/quote]

The cabinet members are literally trapped in the room as the dotard prattles on for almost 2 hours. They have to sit there and compose their faces as Trump dominates the discussion and makes bizarre comments. They have to look interested at he takes a vote on whether he should have goldleaf applied to the crown molding in the cabinet room. I used to work at an organization with an eccentric and self-centered ED who would also trap us in the room for endless meetings where we sat in silence while he spoke nonstop for over an hour. It was excruciating. [/quote]

LOL at being "trapped" in a room. It's called a meeting.  Your boss called a meeting, you attend. Or you don't and get fired. [/quote]

Trump didn't call a meeting. He called for an audience to incoherently ramble to. He's becoming increasingly embarrassing. [/quote]

How about the tariff letters he just sent out?  That's not embarrassing, or harmless.  It's dangerous.  [/quote]

JFC, the tariff letters look like a middle schooler wrote them. They were not even addressed by name and in some cases got the title or gender wrong. Such a moron and a complete embarrassment. [/quote]
