Listen to Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, tell Fox News host John Roberts that Trump's "mathematically impossible" claim he's cutting drug prices by 600% is actually correct.
It was a surprise to me to hear Robert's grilled Lutnick and told him that cutting something by 100% would mean that a customer gets their medication for free.
"Well, if you cut something by 100 percent, the cost goes down to zero," Roberts explained. "If you cut it by four five or 600 percent, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their product. So, it raises the question, how much of Trump's Wednesday night speech was hyperbole and how much was fact?"
What was Lutnik's response? Believe it or not he laughed and said "no." His comeback was as lame as you can get, "It depends on how you look at it" he claimed while smiling stupidly at Roberts and the TV viewers.
This recent exchange is part of an ongoing effort among Trump minions to see who can hold their breath the longest while their head is inserted up his anus. It's like a sport, but there are no winners. Just losers praising a dictator who demands complete loyalty.
Cabinet Meetings are a Spectar Sport.
Before watching one of these suck-up marathons I advise keeping a barf bag nearby as one official after another obsequiously kowtows to Trump. They stroke his paper machete ego and try to prevent their emotionally incontinent strongman from having a meltdown.
The cowardly cabinet members are given the opportunity to competitively slobber over Trump with melodramatic praise. This should come as no surprise to us all as most of the cabinet members came from Fox News.
These empty-headed grifters are the anchors of Trump's carefully curated misinformation universe, many of whom know they are speaking directly to an audience of one, like a hive mind responding to the queen bee.
Trump's campaign of terror against innocent people has made America what he always wanted it to be - a last choice destination for immigrants - a place you would migrate to if you literally had no other choice.
Perhaps Trump's biggest evil achievement is the way he's reduced the Republican party into a collection of clowns who look forward to performing at his cabinet meetings.
As it Stands, I can see future historians scratching their heads while trying to make sense of these humiliating "suck-up" sessions.
