How embarrassing is Donald Trump’s cabinet? According to former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, they resemble “a clown car Cabinet [that] keeps humiliating him.”
Psaki, on her MS NOW show on November 25, pointed out that while Trump “has been humiliated a lot lately. And while most of the time that’s because of his own behavior, it’s also because of the people he surrounds himself with.”
And it’s not just things like Kash Patel and Kristi Noem getting photographed at an F1 race with a pink Lego race car. There have been worse missteps than that.
“Over the past few months, the FBI director has repeatedly used a government jet for recreational travel, including for a golf trip with friends at a private resort in Scotland and attending a wrestling event in Pennsylvania, as well as a getaway to a Texas hunting resort called the “Boondoggle Ranch,” she said on her show. This has led to reports, denied by the White House so far, that Trump is considering removing Patel as FBI director, less than a year into his ten-year term.

In response to that denial, Psaki drew on her own experience as a White House aide.
“I know from experience that when a White House statement contains any version of ‘The president has confidence in,’ or ‘This Cabinet member is a part of a great team,’ it isn’t typically a good sign,” Psaki said of the White House standing by Patel.
Then Psaki turned her attention to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.
“When she isn’t spending her days playing cowgirl dress-up or riding around in Lego cars, the former South Dakota governor has been facing considerable scrutiny over a report from ProPublica that her agency funneled hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to a firm with ties to Noem herself,” Psaki said on the show. “A group of lawmakers has now called for an investigation into how that firm ended up getting all that taxpayer money.”
And there were shots at Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as well:
“Duffy has an idea that is going to fix this country’s air travel once and for all. This week, the transportation secretary encouraged Thanksgiving travelers to ‘dress a little better,’ which he argued could help people ‘behave a little better.'”
Psaki, in her commentary, also trashed other cabinet departments.
“There is perhaps nothing more important to Trump in his second term than his revenge tour against his rivals. But somehow, those prosecutions have become the biggest example of incompetence from an administration staffed by some of the most inept lackeys this country has ever seen,” she said.
