Priebus thanks Trump for 'opportunity and the blessing' to serve his agenda

[Mr. Sparkle]

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Monday thanked President Trump for the chance to serve in his administration and fight for his agenda.

"On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing that you've give us to serve your agenda and the American people," Priebus said.

"And we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

The comments came during a meeting in which Trump had each Cabinet secretary take turns praising him and his policy agenda.

1. Priebus shouldn't speak with his mouth full.

4. This statement is VERY unsettling

""On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing that you've give us to serve your agenda and the American people," Priebus said."


Shouldn't it be "...for the opportunity and blessing to serve the American people and your administration"

The statement puts trump and his agenda before the American people (hint: we are your boss, not him)

Aren't we supposed to come first?

5. Donald Trump Does Not Want Loyalty

So, we are supposed to believe that Donald Trump would not ask the FBI director for loyalty when something like this happens at a cabinet meeting. The Chief of Staff who supposedly has his job on the line praises his boss in public, but Trump would never ask anyone for loyalty.

6. A classic example of deification

Very very SAD
