by Jon Levine | 1:58 pm, June 12th, 2017
Reince Priebus, the perennially embattled White House Chief of Staff likes his job in fact, he REALLLLY likes his job, and he wants the president and everyone else to know it.
During a cabinet meeting with Trump on Monday, Priebus took a moment to give some remarks about how honored he was to be serving in the administration.
On behalf of the entire senior staff around you Mr. President we thank you for the opportunity and blessing that youve given us to serve your agenda and the American people and were continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals.
Its no secret that Trump basks in the sycophancy of his surrogates. Conservative writer John Podhoretz has even likened those who appear on television on Trumps behalf as similar to Stalins lackeys, but Priebus fawning praise is a new level and sounds less Stalin and more Kim Jong Un or possibly Renfield.
Almost since he began serving in the West Wing, Priebus has reportedly been in the fight of his life. A Mediaite count found at least 14 different instances dating from before the inauguration where anonymous sources in the White House have insisted that his time was nigh.

(15,805 posts)No, listen, this isn't normal behavior. Seriously, who says stuff like that unless they're under duress and fear for their safety! I don't understand the odds that each and everyone of those people spoke in concert like brainless automatons unless this was planned and agreed to in advance.
Did they all get a threatening memo from Dear Leader commanding them to praise him under penalty of death? Are their loved ones being held hostage to force their compliance? Was there an off camera squad of armed, jackbooted goons pointing guns at them?

(5,810 posts)That he needed to be shown a little love and affection to inflate his sagging ego?? He DID have a tough week so maybe they were hoping to get off to a better start? Who even knows.
But how else do you get a room full of adults to bow and scrape like that? I know! They were all told that their chairs were wired and if tRump didn't like what they said, he'd push a button and give 'em an electric shock.

(18,748 posts)I got maybe 3 minutes in & couldn't take it anymore. I heard everyone genuflected & gushed, and it's been really nagging at me. Something is disturbing about that scenario, recorded, for everyone to see. Could you see yourself doing that, and then sleeping at night afterward?
