Unlike Biden, who was shielded from public scrutiny by hyper-vigilant gatekeepers who scripted his every move, Trump has nothing to hide… bringing the press into his cabinet meetings.
They sat around a table for more than an hour, each cabinet member giving exactly the kind of status report on progress in their respective portfolios that Elon asked for in that 5-bullet-point email that kicked a hornets’ nest in the government.
Trump let his people take their turns and go around the room talking about what they’d been up to.
For example:
Pete Hegseth kicked it off, coming back from a visit to Panama, where we’ve got a deal worked out with local leadership for American warships to go first and free through the passage. (Which was all Trump really wanted in the first place.)
McMahon on Education: grant money withheld in instances of antisemitism, and described cooperation with counterparts in all 50 states to help smooth the transition to state control of education.
Sean Duffy, Transportation: focus on shipbuilding.
Lee Zeldin, EPA: Largest deregulation in US history, reducing cost-of-living impact of government regulations, and taking permit applications for nuclear plants that will power energy-hungry industries like AI.
Pam Bondi, Justice: Alien Enemies Act and no plea deals for Tesla terrorists.
