Summary

Tonight, we’re breaking down Trump’s marathon cabinet meeting. Yes, more than three hours of chaos, delusion, and dictator cosplay. In between the usual round of butt-kissing from his loyalists, Trump mused (again) about being a dictator, bragged he can “do whatever he wants” as president, and doubled down on one unconstitutional policy after another. What even was this meeting? Governance? Theater? Group therapy for fragile egos? Either way, it was a spectacle, and we’re here to unpack every absurd minute of it.

1:10.8	that often exclude

1:19.3	This isn't hypothetical. It is happening right now, but there is good news. Freedom from religion
