In Cabinet meeting, Pence praises Trump once every 12 seconds for three minutes straight Back in June, President Trump allowed almost his entire Cabinet to speak, one by one, in praise of him. And praise him they did, with each being more effusive than the last. They called it an “incredible honor” and a “blessing” to serve him. They said they were “humbled” and “privileged” to be part of his team. They talked about how much Americans loved Trump. At Wednesday's Cabinet meeting, Vice President Pence decided he'd just handle praising Trump for the entire team. Over nearly three minutes, Pence offered plaudit after plaudit after plaudit, praising Trump's vision, his words, his strategy and his results in light of the passage of tax cuts. By the end, Pence offered 14 separate commendations for Trump in less than three minutes -- math that works out to one every 12.5 seconds. And each bit of praise was addressed directly to Trump, who was seated directly across the table. ............ The Hoarse Whisperer Retweeted Jamelle Bouie Ya know what’s great about this video? As someone who knows narcissists inside and out, this is the body language they throw off when even THEY know the praise is bull**. twitter.com This is how people suck up to tin pot dictators. It's how the North Koreans treat their Dear Leader. No US president in the television age has ever been shown on the receiving end of blatantly sycophantic flattery from his own cabinet like we have seen in repeated videos with Trump. It is bizarre and sickening. Katherine*? @kmckee7 Like POW confessions* Pamela Henstell? @PamelaHenstell They all look as if someone is holding a gun to their loved ones' heads just off camera. Jenna Brinkman? @JennaBrinkman1 Based on Trump's body language he's in protective whiny baby mode. Mary Cummins ??? @MaryCummins1
