Cabinet meeting turns into 71 minutes of Trump grievances

I finally got to see some of the cabinet meeting tonight on YouTube
IMO everyone should seek it out to view how bad this is getting
From Ben Carson leading prayers to Trumps many complaints against the nation
Still obsessed with Obama and of course his brag brag brag and lies lies lies

WASHINGTON — President Trump, trying to dig out from political holes of his own making, held forth for 71 minutes Monday during what was ostensibly a Cabinet meeting, but ended up being a familiar torrent of grievance, defensiveness and expansive statements about his view of his own powers.

However familiar Trump’s brash hyperbole has become, his statements to a room filled with Cabinet members aides and reporters were still eye-catching: Trump asserted his selective regard for the Constitution to which he’d sworn an oath and casually dismissed a clause he appeared to violate in trying to award next year’s Group of 7 summit to his own Doral, Fla., golf resort.

“The Democrats went crazy,” Trump said, even though it was Republican concerns about defending his decision that led to its reversal.

“You don’t think I get enough promotion? I get more promotion than every human being that has ever lived. I don’t need promotion. It would have been the greatest G-7 ever.”

1. Trump is an eternal victim.

He is continuously shooting himself in the foot and blaming it on someone else.

And one shot leads to another: His campaign had people meeting with Russians and lying about it which lead to an investigation. Because he was under investigation, he fired Comey, which lead to the Mueller investigation. Because the Mueller investigation was investigating him, he obstructed justice. All of this leads to the situation of him being in danger of losing to Biden, so he extorts Ukraine to investigate Biden. All the while, he is making himself out to be the victim and acknowledging no responsibility for his own actions. What will be next?
