The cabinet members discuss the importance of the nation’s global image, emphasizing the need for strength combined with fairness. They metaphorically refer to this as ‘strategic dressing’, with some expressing concerns about potential negative perceptions.
Hegseth (11:44 am ET): Good morning, gentlemen and lady. Today, we put on a new suit. A suit that tells the world we’re not just another face in the crowd. Let European moochers take note.💪
Vance (11:47 am ET): Fair point, Pete, but let’s consider the broader ramifications of these sartorial choices. I’m all for standing out, but let’s not forget the importance of strategic dressing.
Rubio (11:49 am ET): We’re talking about suits now?
Gabbard (11:51 am ET): I’m partial to a good Russian-style winter coat, if we’re talking clothes.
Hegseth (11:53 am ET): We’re talking metaphor here, Marco. Dressing as in how we present ourselves.
Miller (11:57 am ET): The world sees us. And they should fear us. 💀
Rubio (12:01 pm ET): I’m all for strong representation, but let’s remember our own values too. We’re not dictators.
Vance (12:03 pm ET): Hence the importance of strategic dressing. We need to present ourselves as strong, but also as fair.
Gabbard (12:09 pm ET): I’ve always admired the style of those in power. They know how to command a room… or a nation.
Waltz (12:13 pm ET): Can’t argue with that, Tulsi. It’s all about having a commanding presence.
Bessent (12:16 pm ET): Even so, we shouldn’t lose sight of our own identity. We’re not trying to imitate others.
Vance (12:19 pm ET): Yes, excellent point, Scott. We should forge our own path.
Rubio (12:24 pm ET): Speaking of forging a path, Tulsi, about that Russian winter coat of yours…
Gabbard (12:27 pm ET): Oh, are we finally going to talk about that, Marco?
Rubio (12:30 pm ET): Maybe…😉
Witkoff (12:33 pm ET): Did I just walk into a strange alternate reality?
Kent (12:36 pm ET): Nah, Steve. Just your average day with this lot.
Miller (12:40 pm ET): 😡 Let’s stay focused. We have a mission.
Hegseth (12:43 pm ET): Agreed, Stephen. Mission first. Wardrobe second. 💪🇺🇸
Kent (12:45 pm ET): Mission to dress well and kick ass, right? Let’s get down to business then.
Wiles (12:50 pm ET): If only my sewing kit could stitch up the flaws in the European Union’s politics. We’re ready to wear our strength, gentlemen.
Ratcliffe (12:56 pm ET): Let’s make them wish they could steal our style. 💪
