It is just so gross, but they know what their dear pedo leader needs.

It isn't normal.

Unctuous villains all. Uriah Heep would be proud. www.britannica.com/topic/Uriah-...

Cultish behavior.

It certainly doesn’t seem like any small thing to me.

What is wrong with those people? It is so stomach turning praising that asshole. 🤬

It’s sickening 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Cabinet of SuckUps.

Hell, Nixon would probably tell them to get a grip.

Not really Lincoln's cabinet of rivals are they?

Doesn't it just make you want to throw up? These people really have no dignity, integrity, moral compass at all do they? When are the trials? That's the most important question!

What do they say in private?

Actually, these days, that's become very Amerikan. What a bunch of ass-lickers Amerikans have become. So pathetic.

It's disgusting!

Recall when it came to Sec Mattis turn to fellate?

And, in the words of Tim Walz, just weird.

They are just trying to keep him happy long enough for them to rape the working class or what little they have left.

Except Washington would have never surrounded himself with idiots and yes-men and treasonous pedophiles. Then again, most of the people he associated with thought owning slaves was perfectly fine, so lets not presume he was flawless either.

The contradictions are astounding. Where is the hyper-masculinity of so many MAGA men (and women)? It is embarrassing to have a President who is so insecure that he requires the adults in his cabinet to bow down before him and grovel. Would you want to be so demeaned by such a person?

It’s pathetic and disgusting. It’s also repugnant due to how he deserves no praise and is in fact, the opposite of everything they said.

When I was a p/t assistant, going to a big out-of-state corp convention w/some third-tier European royalty, I was told I had to curtsey & call him his Excellency. I refused, even though I *really* needed that job ($)! I was just a kid w/a p/t job. And a spine. The US needs more spines.

As unAmerican as federalizing the National Guard as unAmerican as abducting people without warrants, without proper identification and without probable cause as UnAmerican as rule by decree instead of by LAW

Cringe worthy is a massive understatement

From my professional career and observing Trump's boot licking cabinet will stand by my long term belief that like minded people make the worse decisions. This is evident in the Trump dynasty if you disagree with the party line you will be fired..

its not little...

Correct - deeply un-American. And honestly just not the way normal people act.

Don’t tell me it’s not full Hitler.

Dear Leader-ish

Man, I don't understand how they could not be embarrassed by their ass licking of trump's shitty, diapered ass. They have no pride, no upbringing, no ethics. No job is worth this. I've never seen anything like this before in my life.

The nation that lowers its flag to no one, groveling for a senile pedophile. It's humiliating and disgusting.

Which of these courtiers gets the honor of watching him take a morning dump?

They should stop broadcasting it and everyone else should not repost it

I haven't watched a cabinet meeting or most of his shit, because its a waste of time. Its done to be performative. But I suppose they feel they have to show it because its "news".

Do these people have no self respect?!

You got it!

This happened in Trump's 1st term as well, and we still re-elected him in 2024.

Our brains will never stop reeling over it, either.

I believe musk and his little tech bros manipulated the voting machines and rigged the election in trump's favor. Several districts back east that were solid blue K. Harris districts where there were NO votes for Harris' That is statistically impossible.

He came to the hospital for a photo op. It was disgusting. He also did that after El Paso Wal-Mart shooting.Melania posed with the orphaned baby whose mother's lifeless body saved.

that was so disgusting

He gave the thumbs up both photos. Truly despicable creature.

ignorant barbarians

Yes, I think it matters 🧐

It is so cringe If I did not hate them so much I might find the exercise embarrassing for them. However they all deserve the public humiliation

I think we need another national No Kings March that also targets every sitting republican senator and congressperson. They all need to be held to account and have their eyes opened

Remember how everyone in the “boardroom” on his TV show used to fawn on him? “Oh, yes! You made the perfect decision!” “It was the only right choice!” Etc. If he ran his businesses that way, the only wonder is that he didn’t have 47 bankruptcies instead of 6-7. Now he’s gonna bankrupt the US.

It's the blatant lies! They know they're lying, Trump knows they're lying, WH staff know they're lying, EVERYbody knows everybody else is lying ... and still it goes on. It's the worst off-Broadway play ever produced.

It’s DOWNRIGHT SICK!!!!!! It’s so staged, total theater. A “real” cabinet would never talk like that even to the BEST of presidents, it’s like some cheeses cheap TV show.

It's not a small thing. Their sycophancy is empowering him. It is feeding the monster.

If I was blindfolded and listening to the session, I'd swear I was listening to a dubbed roundtable of legislators in North Korea.

If unamerican means disgusting, then I agree

It's so gross. I can't even believe it is real.

Un-American? ... Every American politician is sold to the big donors.... and you are talking about SERVILITY..... Wake up George... The US is one totally corrupt failed state...

It's actually deeply American. This country is full of sychophants, suck-ups, and kakistocrats. Tens of millions of 'em.

People speculate that the bruises on his hands are from IV injections, but excessive suck-up-ery is his mainline drug. The sycophantic parasites are desperate to keep him rolling. If he's flailing, he's failing.

The Praise Table. Used when he feels no one is grateful to him.

but on brand for Nazis

Since they all have brown noses, they are diverse

It is N. Korea.

dear leader

Don’t have to go that far in history… imagine the Fox News freakout of that were Obama or Biden or if Hillary had won!

I’d like to see people do this to Newsom next.

Objectively, I just don't get why his supporters are okay with it. Is it because he's trolling the left by doing it? Let's assume that is the case, why do we have to have a president that trolls as much as he does, instead of just doing the fucking job.

It's disgusting.

Washington picked "Mr. President" as the title because it was the least pompous thing they could think of.

The only thing the cabinet didn’t do was permanently glue their lips to Trumps ass. I predict next meeting someone will bring the gorilla glue…

MAGA is the party of pussies-all afraid of their favorite child rapist and diaper wearing felon and fascist!

They are trying to normalize fascism. It is PATHETIC BULLCRAP and should make ANY REAL AMERICAN'S skin crawl.

It's disgusting actually.

John Adams would be throwing down so hard on this

I blame the young. Started with them eating ass and now being a kiss ass is no big deal! 🤪😆

Except this isn't entirely true, how do you think the banks and healthcare insurance companies got to the point there are now? Without boot licking? American bootlicking of corporations has been the norm for decades, now that bootlicking in the corporate arena has just extended into the government

🤮🤮🤮

It's sickening and embarrassing...have these people no sense of self-respect, have they no shame, or are they all too afraid to not kiss ass like this... Never mind, I already know the answers...

Americans used their votes, and their voices sound loudly to say 'yes, this chaos is what we want!'

This isn’t a cabinet, it’s an orgy in a conference room, the only one getting off is orange, well maybe most of the guys are dribbling a bit 🤨😏

The servility and obsequiousness of the cabinet is offensive to any true human.

Everything about this administration is unAmerican. Washington would have dismissed, and then, at a minimum, tarred and feathered all of them while the rest of the Founding Fathers stood by applauding.

They would hate Jefferson now, despite conflicts such as having slaves (though most Maggots secretly admire that) - the father of the Deceleration of Independence would be too progressive, and intelligent, for them today. He even edited his own Bible (took out all the hate motivated stuff).

I've had the unpleasant task recently of reading some ancient Roman panegyrics. That is how orators talk about you if they're afraid you'll crucify them for not groveling sufficiently. I don't care to live under the rule of any Roman emperor.

bsky.app/profile/prom...

It's like none of them have ever even been in a staff meeting

"Deeply un-American?" Well then, it must be an ultra-right thing because there was this one guy, funny story, a Jo McCarthy, who even had songs written about him while he wrote the instruction manual these guys are following.

Not only un-american but not worthy of human beings with any self-respect. Trump is a disaster, and his incompetence and stupidity is amplified by these ridiculous yes-men who swallow every idiotic idea Trump pronounces.

Soooo un-American, blows my mind that (after 40 years of bashing communist countries) my former political party does this shit

when the cameras are turned off, trumpf drops his trousers and all his nauseating and servile minions must kiss his ass and then kiss the don's hand ... leaves one with a distinct taste of having just vomited ... 🤨

Submission is un American Let’s roll

For decades the American right has pushed that all solutions are easy. Be tough on crime! Stand up to the Russkies! Just say No! Complexity and nuance are not to be trusted by "real" Americans. They hunger for a simpler world. What is simpler than just having a king who tells you what to do?

It’s gross. How do they come up with new compliments on top of “doing” their actual jobs? 🤡

Correction: Ass licking

Even SHE thinks it’s a bit much 🤷‍♂️

We've fallen below Ben Franklin's expectations.

Again the bully pulpit. They're being servile because they're constantly afraid he'll attack them if they go against him or if they fail to approve & back what he says, even if they know it's wrong. Then if you displease Trump you'll end up quickly fired & being hounded like Bolton etc.

VERY UN-AMERICAN.

Boot licking is not a strong enough description of what we all witnessed.

It’s disgusting. It’s as if they’re playing at running a dictatorship in order to normalize it.

Bootlicking and azz kissing are exactly why each one of them is there.

Donnie’s cabinet meetings and cabinet members are a joke ( but not funny at all)

Yup. Bootlickers Inc.

bsky.app/profile/patr...

A little understandable when you realize they are likely all afraid of him. He did pardon 1600 goons and hire militia nuts to man ICE.

When you've out-NoKo'd NoKo.

They are each degrading and humiliating themselves to this piece of 💩. The payoff cannot be big enough to sell your soul.

Wannabe alpha dogs look like domesticated house pussies begging the master for a bowl of cream. Their true colors.

Trump's cabinet has lower collective self-respect than a meeting of scat eating subs.

Yeah, this isn’t exactly land of the free sand home of the brave.

If these were *real* cabinet secretaries doing *real* jobs, they wouldn't have time for a 3-1/2 hour meeting like this. Instead they were hired to be suckups, and their real job is to make no independent decisions and do what the pedo in chief tells them to.

Sickening 🤮🤮🤮

The thing of it is - Trump doesn't expect this kind of abject sycophancy from just his cabinet. In Trump's mind this is how he should always be treated by everyone - from the press, to foreign dignitaries, to CEO's, to the person on the street.

#FuckTrump #AssKissers #BootLickers #CockSuckers So sickening! So wrong on so many levels!!

It’s literally SNL-level of seeming parody. But incomprehensibly the MAGA world falls for it as authentic. Truly mindboggling.

100% this. The irony of course being the GOP professing to be the “real” patriots and the supposed experts on what it “really” means to be a REAL American while doing the actual least American bullshit in front of everyone’s faces

Why do I feel like the "ring of praise" thing was something they did on the first day of table read on "The Apprentice"?

"You must prostrate yourself before his Eminence" is insane in the brain.

Never experienced this in a corporate environment. Every CEO I reported to wanted to know how the company can improve. If anyone laid the B.S. at the CEO they would be seeking employment elsewhere.

Any normal boss would be abhorred by this behavior. Some bosses may not take criticisms well, but no boss wants undying praise like this.

Gives you insight into his previous bankruptcies. I read that Lutnick has Epstein ties and it’s well known that RFK jr does. Peter Thiel who backed JD Vance does too…who else in his cabinet. Bondi kind of🤷🏼‍♀️

Patel , Hegseth, Oingo Boingo and Miller are probably too young for direct Epstein ties but they’ve been over the files so there’s that.

If everything came out on Epstein, there would be a lot of embarassed men on both sides of the aisle, to say the least.

All bets are off, if you sexually abused women and children!

Just another step in solidifying his dictatorship. Surround yourself with adoring fans with the hope that others will soon believe it as well. And it seems to be working.

No, it doesn't seem to be working. Historically low presidential approval numbers and record turnout at demonstrations all over the country. People aren't believing it.

The only additional adoring fans he is getting are already solidly in his camp.

That's how the real world operates, but not in the White House.

Maybe we need more memes. Spread them around.

The obsequiousness is absolutely disgusting. It’s unprofessional, it’s denigration of the office. He surrounds himself with people who possess zero self-respect. How despicable.

It's utterly sickening and makes me want to vomit. It is the true definition of a sycophant.

Real men don’t feel the need to kiss ass or stick their heads up one.

When you hear the bootlicking you know that the entire cabinet is incompetent., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/law-...

It's like a circle jerk. Who can out-suckup the last suckup.

Anyone notice that Bessent -- who with Gabbard I thought won the sycophant award yesterday -- was reading from and referring to pre-prepared notes? They know that overt, obsequious toadying is an absolute requirement, and each of them fulfills the mission.

It's not a cabinet meeting; it's a gross pander en masse. And Dear Leader loves it.

Lincoln had a Cabinet that mostly didn't like him.

It’s pure, undiluted propaganda that doesn’t belong on the American airwaves.. This is exactly how north korea and the original kremlin operate. Disgusted. Mute the fucking media.

SNL could never match the ridiculous amount of ass kissing 💋 done today. You would think that they are rated and the lowest rated complimentor has to change his diaper. There was some serious fear 😨 in that room.

This may sound bizarre, but the most valued "position under the king" (see what I did there?) was the guy who got to wipe the king's ass after he defecated. That person had access (again) to the most recent and secret information.

Who gets the honor...

Stephen Miller would volunteer.

He probably has a changing table off the oval office. They all take turns changing his diaper. I bet he pees on them before they get the diaper on.

Yup while he craps on the entire country.

Sooo many choices. Karoline Leavitt would be my first pick. What about you?

I threw up a little bit reading that and thinking about the Fu King Orange Abomination. My money is on Stephen Miller.

It’s the equivalence of Chimps putting sticks up their bums

bsky.app/profile/dawn...

People with integrity and a strong sense of self don’t need boot licking

Absolutely true

Kowtowing to their Messiah! These incompetent unqualified acolytes feed to disgrace and ridicule that surrounds the Trump ‘administration’. They offer no ethical standards or guidelines that should constrain and inform the President! He’s flying blind because they are blind zombies!

Hear, hear.

There has not been a presidential cabinet in US history as obsequious and loathsome as the #TrumpAbomination.

No boss should like it and every boss that has 1/3 a brain should understand this to be "blowing smoke up your ass" behavior.

A “Saturday Night Live” skit couldn’t do it any better. It’s unsettling. It’s amazing His underlings feel no shame about it.

What is truly hilarious is that anyone takes them seriously at all. It is a level of buffoonery that is off the charts. Funny, as well, is Joe Scarborough being offended by the display when it is clear that he requires nearly the same level of obeisance from his guests and panelists.

North Korea called and said "Yeesh, dial it back".

These far-right Supreme Court Justices are part of Trump's Oligarchy coup! We should be reporting DonTrump's coup progress. It has been 1694 since Don Trump's Oligarchy coup has been in motion!

Washington would have sent them out to pick cherries. 🍒 from the cherry tree he cut down.

It's what the country voted for. We fucked oursleves with our hubris and antisemitism. It's sick.

It's no small thing. It smacks of mental instability that the object of their sickly praise wouldn't tell them to knock it off. He revels in the obviously manufactured worship.

Damned right. Anyone who expects this of their staff is a nutcase (res ipsa loquitur).

The ass kissing meetings of #DonnyDickTater get worse and worse.

It’s bizarre.

It was a vomitous display of brown-nosery.

Hamilton, Jefferson, and Washington were adults. Trump and his cabinet are not.

The cabinet talks to him like he is a five year old whose parents are trying to keep from melting down into full tantrum mode over not being able to have a cookie. This is a man who is not sane and a cabinet of similarly sick sycophants bent on grifting as long as they can.

Deeply disgusting as well.

I have to wonder if his cabinet truly believed the horse crap that came out of their mouths or was it just as cringey for them saying it as it was for us hearing it

I would be surprised if more than 10% actually believe the crap they are spewing. That isn't to say they don't like him, I'm sure they do. But I'm sure most think its way over the top.

But this groveling lasted 3-1/2 hours. They were all on board with praising the king.

Because they know they have to do it. I mean the head of NATO called Trump daddy. I doubt he really believes that

Probably not that unAmerican in corporate board rooms and that is what rules apply to the orange feces. 

Not so, in my experience. Board meetings behind closed doors can be acrimonious and venomous as people jockey for position. And in larger companies, board members tend to have more personal power than the company executives and aren't afraid to use it. They aren't there to kiss ass.

Thank you for the insights. I guess I was just grasping for some model that Trump bases his demands on. I guess it’s his TV show model.

No, board rooms have actual discussion and its not filled with 100% praise of the president of the company.

So deeply condescending! Americans are known for expressing themselves and being contributors, not ass kissers. Of course this administration is devoid of class and decorum. Watching a clip on a Cabinet meeting is just nauseating, watching alleged grownups kowtow to the Orange Slimeball 🤢

It's comically disgusting.

it doesn’t seem small at all

they fail to make a distinction between the Oval Office and its occupant, where reverence for the office causes the blur. Some ppl believe that the president can't be all that bad. But he's worse.

Seriously, we need a Team of Rivals!!

I could not agree more.

Truly embarrassing this ass kissing

It's not a small thing; it's the essence of autocracy. They know their king has no clothes.

The bootlicking or the kissing of the boot that hits them, displayed by Trump's lackey, is deeply Russian. Americans who love their freedom won't do that.

Name 2 animals with no spine? Worms and Trump cabinet member. #BillionaireWorms

Deeply, profoundly un-American.

Slathering, petulant little lickspittles.

Their ass-kissing of TACO is gross and creepy. Weird AF!

Yeah what else has changed in 300 years???

Anyone who knows anything about leadership understands that the quickest road to defeat is not allowing your best and smartest to advise you without fear of reprisals. Real leaders like Lincoln, Washington, and Eisenhower can handle not only adversity, but also criticism.

To be fair, this could all be performative, and these people actually give him advice behind the cameras. That is what I've heard from some of his supporters, for what its worth. One can only hope that is true. But his actions suggest that he doesn't have much tolerance for hearing something bad.

I can’t speak to the quality of the advice, but the bootlicking is real

I do think he is getting some useful advice behind the scenes. It probably has contributed to a lot of his TACO moments. But yeah, the bootlicking is real.

Anyone with an iota of self-respect would not behave like this.

Except its just not the cabinet. You have world leaders showering him with irrational praise. Then just some of them praise him in a way that is manipulative, like Putin.

Spot on! Trump enjoys humiliating his underlings by making them grovel...

It’s like they’re trying to get in his will 🤣🤣🤣

I think the members of the second continental congress would have negotiated a settlement with Britain if they had foreseen 21st century America. All of their time, treasure, brilliance, bravery, and honor flushed into the sewer in just seven months!

north korea couldn’t have done it better

There’s a reason “sacred honor” are the last two words of the Declaration of Independence. I wouldn’t expect anyone in this administration to be familiar with that document, notwithstanding that it hangs in the Oval Office.

In the early days of the nation when there still weren't parties, the Vice-President was the presidential candidate who received second most votes, thus opponent of the new president. Those were different times.

It's sick.

Where is the NRA now that actual tyranny of govt is here? Where is the TEA Party now that tariffs are here? Where are the Christ (an immigrant) followers now that the govt is disappearing migrants? Last where are protectors of children now that the GOP is protecting pedophiles? They’re so quiet.

It’s disgusting. Why does the press show it? Let FOX do their due diligence, the other networks need to ignore this sickness.

Can you imagine if Biden televised these circle jerks with his cabinet? Or Obama? MAGA would have lost their minds and screamed for impeachment.

It tells you where their heads are.

Frightening

Looks like a Russian cabinet meeting.

It’s freaking pathetic is what it is…

I can see the history books in the future: "Team of Fluffers: The Political Failure of Donald Trump"

It’s embarrassing. They have to do it in order to keep his spirits up and to try to keep him calm. That’s the only logic. They need a Trump pep rally, daily.

Trump is an emotionally needy person who craves the adulation of others. A normal cabinet would not disgrace themselves the way this cabinet does. A normal president would not tolerate it. But then we don't have a normal president or a normal cabinet.

trump needs a rectalcephalectomy to get their heads out of his ass.

It’s almost like we’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship.

It's amazing they can actually speak with their lips glued to Dear Leader's ass!

We are.

Yup

They are hand picked by the Heritage Foundation to be his cronies and to normalize dictatorship. Several of them are felons - all of them are extremely rich. You think you're looking at foolish sycophants, but they know exactly what they are doing - systematically changing the system of government.

Was un-American.

I'm simple terms, it sickens me to see them bestowing gratitude at the feet of their convicted felon.

Someone needs to list out all the ways trump goes against the very foundation of our country.

I would argue that it is the 'boot' they are licking

They are all trying to get their lips on that little mushroom of the orange Mussolini, and it is disgusting to see them all grovel over each other to get to him.

This is definitely NOT a small thing. This is insanity. This is what dictatorship looks like. The fact that his entire cabinet, along with the entire GOP, continues to fawn over him, and yes him to death? That makes this is a very large thing.

And incredibly disgusting.

Nauseating

They know he will fire them if they don’t lick. True narcissistic behavior

I’m sure the children he molested can verify this 👆

And the people kissing his as know it’s in-American. That’s why most look and sound so uncomfortable doing it. They know they’re massaging the ego of a child.

There is a term for people like that: “Nazis”.

These are the people feeding him “facts.” They and Fox News are his only reality.

It’s just terribly abnormal. I’ve never been in a meeting where this would be considered normal. Indeed, it would be regarded as highly unprofessional.

Now Gavin’s gotta waste 4 whole hours trolling this mutt 😩
