Trump Is Still Pretending To Be President With His ‘Shadow Cabinet’

Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows admitted late last week that he and several other people are serving in former President Trump's "shadow cabinet," a claim that indicates that Trump still believes he has some sort of power. Meadows also repeatedly referred to Trump as "the President" during the segment, which means nothing coming from the man who wanted the DOJ to investigate whether Italian space lasers were changing votes in the 2020 election.

Late last week, Donald Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows admitted during an interview with Newsmax that he and several others are still meeting with Donald Trump. As recently as the day before the interview, uh, up at Bedminster in New Jersey and Meadows refer to these people as the president's

Cabinet, he said

They, they just had a cabinet meeting. Then after that, they had another cabinet meeting strategizing, trying to figure things out. But, uh, the only thing that we need to know about what's happening here right now is that Donald Trump still clearly

Is pretending at least

That he is president of the United States.

Uh, you don't really have a cabinet

Unless you're president of the United States or, you know, in this case, if you're playing make-believe and you have these little morons around you that think, oh, we're a part of the cabinet. No, you're not. You're a bro. A bunch of grown men

Playing make-believe with a guy that desperately wants to be president again, that's what's happening here. This has pretend time because

You're not strategizing about anything. What are you trying to pick Donald Trump's next to endorsement where the candidates clearly going to lose? Because by the way, in that same interview, Mark Meadows tried to spin the fact that Donald Trump's chosen candidate and a Texas special election last week, Susan Wright, uh, she lost got Trump's endorsement. She lost and Mark Meadows tried to say, Hey, that's actually a win for us. Cause it was, you know, between two great Republicans. So win-win right. No, your guy's a loser. He lost the presidential election. So now he's forced to go to his little golf course and pretend that he actually has some

Kind of power. And you idiots like Mark Meadows playing along with this, you're playing right into his idiotic fantasy. The man is in his mid to late seventies. It's time for make-believe time to go away, but they're enabling him. Here's

The thing. Trump has nothing to strategize about right now, as I mentioned, his power within the Republican party is waning. Uh, he blew up at Republicans just late last week because they totally ignored all of his advice about the infrastructure bill didn't want to listen to him. Didn't pay attention. Didn't do a thing he said. So he's furious about that. His candidates are losing their special elections is actually another one today up in Ohio, the Republican primary part, he's endorsed a candidate, not looking too good for that person will tell by the end of the day, whether or not that, uh, is successful or not,

But he's losing it. And I don't mean losing

It in the sense of just his grip on the Republican party. I mean, if he is up there at Bedminster, pretending to be president with his little pretend cabinet and Mark Meadows, and he didn't say who else was a part of this shadow cabinet, but apparently there are other people that that's not a healthy side, right? That's not the kind of thing you look for in a stable individual. That's a, to me, a red flag, it's a

Warning sign that, Hey, maybe things

Aren't going so well up here for

This guy. But again, if

Trump is strategizing about his 20, 24

Prospects, okay, sure.

You have a meeting with some advisors, you call them advisors. You don't refer to them as a cabinet. You try to come up with ideas. You come up with a platform, you do things like that. But Meadows, if that was

What was happening, you would

Think he would have been more than happy to say, yeah, listen, we're, we're working on policy ideas. We're working on this. We're working on that. No, he was very vague about the work of this shadow cabinet, which once again, leads me to believe that this is just Donald Trump's sucked into his own delusion

And pretending that he

Is still the president of the United States and idiots like Mark Meadows are more than happy to go to his little golf course get special treatment so they can play make-believe.
