Trumps Cabinet is the absolute best of all time. Ever.
By Dana Milbank Opinion writer October 16 at 6:46 PM
Its about time somebody gives Donald Trump the credit he deserves. Even if that person is Donald Trump.
Were 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 were doing. Whats more, the Justice Department is doing a fantastic job, while the economy is growing phenomenally, except for the drag on it 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. There are those that are saying its one of the finest group of people ever assembled as a candidate as a Cabinet, he said. (Trumps candidate-Cabinet mix-up followed his Friday mishap when he praised parents who sacrifice for the furniture, rather than future, of their children.) This is a tremendous amount of talent, Trump continued. We have just gotten really, really, great people. Im very proud of them.
And Im very proud of Trump for recognizing the greatness of his Cabinet. But he is being modest. This isnt just one of the finest Cabinets. There has never been a Cabinet like this before and there probably will ever be one like it in the furniture.
Sure, George Washington sat around the Cabinet table with John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox and Edmund Randolph. Abraham Lincoln won the Civil War with William Seward, Salmon Chase and Edwin Stanton. Franklin Roosevelt beat the Depression and the Nazis with Henry Morgenthau, Harold Ickes and Henry Stimson.
