The leaked conversation among cabinet members indicates their concern over the potential media backlash from Cyril Ramaphosa’s encounter at the White House, the need to maintain their principles amidst the chaos, and their consideration of Russia’s role in the situation. Some offbeat suggestions for resolution, such as using a McDonald’s burger as a peace offering, were also discussed.

Waltz (11:14 am ET):
Focus on our endgame here. I just wanted to touch base about the situation with Cyril Ramaphosa and his encounter at the White House.
Vance (11:30 am ET):
Shouldn’t we be considering the tactical implications? The media is going to jump on this.
Rubio (11:45 am ET):
Agreed. We need to prepare for the media backlash, but also remember to stay true to our own principles.
Gabbard (11:58 am ET):
I say, let’s not forget about our Russian friends in all this chaos. Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture, guys.
Hegseth (12:02 pm ET):
Exactly, Tulsi! We need to grab a couple of White Russians and toast to our continued success! 🍻
Miller (12:20 pm ET):
Your levity is unappreciated, Hegseth. We’ve got serious issues on our plate.
Vance (12:45 pm ET):
On a serious note, Trump’s love for a good burger from McDonald’s might just solve this. I say we put it as a peace offering to Ramaphosa.
Rubio (12:59 pm ET):
I would have suggested a Cuban sandwich, but your idea seems more…American.
Gabbard (1:15 pm ET):
A Russian Beef Stroganoff would be my preference, Marco.
Waltz (1:30 pm ET):
Let’s bring it back to the issue at hand. Yes, I do agree with Vance’s note on expectations from the media.
Ratcliffe (1:48 pm ET):
Agreed. We know the media will be looking for any signs of weakness. We need to show strength and unity, no matter our personal views on the matter.
Vance (1:52 pm ET):
🍔+🇺🇸 = 💪
Wiles (1:54 pm ET):
You guys are hilarious! But honestly, we should focus on our narrative and how we’re going to present this to the press.
Witkoff (2:00 pm ET):
I believe our narrative in this should be clear and concise - we are not going to be bullied by anyone, regardless of their status.
Miller (2:20 pm ET):
Absolutely, Steve. There’s no room for compromise on our principles.
Kent (2:25 pm ET):
We’ve got this! Let’s get to work!
Hegseth (2:27 pm ET):
Spoken like a true patriot, Joe! Let’s give’em hell! 🔥🇺🇸
Gabbard (2:30 pm ET):
That’s the spirit, guys. For America!🇺🇸
Bessent (2:35 pm ET):
To America! For our principles! Let’s not forget, we are in this for the long haul.
