Trump Cabinet Praises Leader Every Six Sentences Analysis Finds
A New York Times analysis of President Trump’s cabinet meetings revealed a notable shift toward flattery and praise, with at least one in every six sentences aimed at either flattering the president or criticizing his opponents. This behavior, described as typical of authoritarian governments, contrasts sharply with the traditional role of cabinets as sources of candid advice. Historians, citing a lack of experience, high turnover, and loyalty-based appointments, have ranked Trump’s cabinets among the worst in U.S. history, further substantiated by consistently low approval ratings for his appointees, which diverge significantly from the president’s own standing.
