Did you hear about the cabinet official who made the following statement at President Donald Trump’s first cabinet meeting June 12?
“Mr. President, you are a living example of an emperor who is wearing no clothes, and it is my considered duty to point my finger at your hideous nakedness. Never in the history of politics has there been a leader who exhibits your combination of willful ignorance, petulance, lust for approval, and complete incompetence. Your only motivation in every situation is either to improve your personal wealth or your ability to make everyone bow in your direction. You have ceded world leadership to China, Russia and Germany; world leaders are terrified of what rash act your uninformed impulsiveness may lead you to perform; at the same time, you have turned America into an international laughingstock. I refuse any longer to feed your all-consuming narcissism. It is no longer bearable to abase myself by associating with you. I therefore am resigning my position, effective immediately.”
Neither did I.
