President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting on Tuesday featured a moment that was over-the-top even by the usual standards of the events.
The meetings are known for having each member of the Cabinet and other high-level officials deliver a report that’s mostly just praise for Trump.
But on Tuesday, Steve Witkoff ― Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East ― laid it on thick.
“Mr. President, working for this government, for you, is the greatest honor of my life,” he said. “I tell it to everybody and I really do feel that way and I thank you.”
He claimed Trump solved “more than seven conflicts” since taking office, and said the president should get the highest level of recognition.
