“We’re doing a lot of great things,” the president said at the start of a Cabinet meeting Monday. Further, he said, “we are getting tremendous accolades for what we’re doing.” What’s more, “the Justice Department is doing a fantastic job,” while the economy is growing “phenomenally,” except for the drag from those hurricanes -- the handling of which, Trump would again say Monday, earns him an “A-plus” grade. He also boasted about his yet-to-be-passed (or even proposed) tax cuts -- the “largest tax cuts in the history of our country.”
But the highest praise of all came for his Cabinet -- or, rather, his own acumen in choosing this truly exceptional group of people seated at the table around him.
