Donald Trump, in the midst of so many crises and problems to deal with, held his “adulatory” Cabinet meeting yesterday, which has become a trend every few weeks, with Cabinet members profusely praising him, something that never happened with any other President.
And he spent 15 minutes bragging about changes he has brought to the White House Cabinet Room decor over the past six months, as if that is worthy of so much attention, when all of his promises to solve problems have failed in international affairs, and the war continues against federal employees and agencies.
Also, he was angry that his association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the rumored “Clients List”, which supposedly includes his name, came up, indicating once again that he is engaged in yet another coverup of his scandalous life.
In slightly less than six months, Donald Trump has little to show for his tenure, although he and his minions continue to manipulate the truth and facts!
Isn’t about time normal people start calling our Trump’s mental illness?

Trump’s push to claw back funding ignites a fight that threatens a government shutdown.
Senate Republicans are aiming to pass a rescissions package on a party-line vote, which Democrats say would upend the government funding process ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline.
The rescissions package would slash $8.3 billion in foreign aid and $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds PBS and NPR. It flows from efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to find savings.
It was passed by House last month by a vote of 214-212. It’s unclear whether the Senate, where Republicans control 53 seats, has enough votes to pass it. Some GOP senators want to make changes, which would send it back to the House.
Democrats staunchly oppose the rescissions package, which was crafted without their input. Republicans can pass the $9.4 billion in cuts on party lines, but if that leads Democrats to refuse to sign off on a new government funding deal, it could trigger a shutdown at the end of September.
