Screenshot via Fox News President Donald Trump on Thursday held another Cabinet meeting. As some might have expected, the meeting largely comprised of Trump’s secretaries showering him with praise for over an hour. The meetings have traditionally been used for Cabinet secretaries to fill the president in on the progress being made to enact his various agendas and policy goals. In doing so, however, Trump’s secretaries also included heaps of exorbitant praise for the president. Here are a few of the most egregious examples. Hegseth Claims Venezuela Operation Was One of the Greatest in World History In the time since the last meeting, the Trump administration conducted a secret operation to invade Venezuela and abduct President Nicolas Maduro. The administration received intense scrutiny both at home and abroad, with many pointing to a potentially dangerous precedent set by forcibly apprehending a world leader. The operation was also done without congressional approval, leaving most U.S. lawmakers in the dark. While talking about the mission to take Maduro, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth declared it “the most sophisticated raid” ever. “No other military in the world,” Hegseth said, “could’ve executed the most sophisticated, powerful raid — not just in American history — I would say in world history. move over D-Day — Pete Hegseth says Trump’s Venezuela coup was “the most sophisticated raid in world history” pic.twitter.com/JsxRCGmZFQ — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2026 Lutnick Insists Trump Is “Fixing Everything” When Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was called on, the secretary detailed the various economic gains that have been made during Trump’s second term. Things have apparently been so good, Lutnick claimed, that Trump has fixed “everything.” “You are fixing everything with your policies,” Lutnick told Trump. “You have changed America and created the golden age.” Lutnick: You are fixing everything with your policies.

During the meeting, SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler added another to the tally when she referenced an “under-reported” war occurring on U.S. soil. “Under your leadership, you’ve ended at least eight wars,” Loeffler said, “but probably the most important and under-reported war that this president ended was Joe Biden and the Democrats’ war on Main Street and hard-working families.” Loeffler: Under your leadership, you have ended at least eight wars.

Thanks to the efforts of the new administration, Bessent claimed an economic boom was on the horizon for 2026. “We’ve got gains in wages, low prices,” Bessent said. “And I think 2026 is gonna be the year of the Trump boom.

With much of the country still reeling from winter storms, Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed Trump’s pro-coal agenda actually saved lives. “And this beautiful, clean coal was the MVP of the huge cold snap we’re in right now,” Wright said. “I can say with some confidence, hundreds of American lives have been saved because of your leaning in and stopping the killing of coal revitalizing coal.” Wright: I can say with confidence, hundreds of American lives have been saved because of your leaning in and stopping the killing of coal and revitalizing coal. pic.twitter.com/vGpgOMCHJS — Acyn (@Acyn) January 29, 2026 — The post Top 5 Most Fawning Moments From Trump Cabinet Meeting first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via Fox News President Donald Trump on Thursday held another Cabinet meeting. As some might have expected, the meeting largely comprised of Trump’s secretaries showering him with praise for over an hour. The meetings have traditionally been used for Cabinet secretaries to fill the president in on the progress being made to enact his various agendas and policy goals. In doing so, however, Trump’s secretaries also included heaps of exorbitant praise for the president. Here are a few of the most egregious examples. Hegseth Claims Venezuela Operation Was One of the Greatest in World History In the time since the last meeting, the Trump administration conducted a secret operation to invade Venezuela and abduct President Nicolas Maduro. The administration received intense scrutiny both at home and abroad, with many pointing to a potentially dangerous precedent set by forcibly apprehending a world leader. The operation was also done without congressional approval, leaving most U.S. lawmakers in the dark. While talking about the mission to take Maduro, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth declared it “the most sophisticated raid” ever. “No other military in the world,” Hegseth said, “could’ve executed the most sophisticated, powerful raid — not just in American history — I would say in world history. move over D-Day — Pete Hegseth says Trump’s Venezuela coup was “the most sophisticated raid in world history” pic.twitter.com/JsxRCGmZFQ — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 29, 2026 Lutnick Insists Trump Is “Fixing Everything” When Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was called on, the secretary detailed the various economic gains that have been made during Trump’s second term.
