The cabinet members expressed mixed feelings about a new policy initiative from the President, acknowledging its potential for positive public response and media coverage. However, they also expressed concerns about the need for careful execution to avoid negative media attention.
From: Marco Rubio (9:00 am ET) Morning team, just saw the new policy initiative POTUS wants us to push. Thoughts?
From: JD Vance (9:15 am ET) It’s ambitious as always. But it might be a good idea if we could get it done right. The public will love it, and Trump will bask in the positive press. But it’s going to be a lot of work.
From: Pete Hegseth (9:22 am ET) I agree with Vance. It’s a bold move, and one that I think we can spin in our favor. Plus, it’s about time we took a stand and showed the world what America’s all about. 💪🇺🇸
From: Stephen Miller (9.27 am ET) Let’s make sure this doesn’t devolve into another liberal media circus like last time.
From: Michael Waltz (9:35 am ET) I concur. A strategic approach is necessary so as to not give the media any extra fodder. This initiative, if executed well, could be a landmark achievement.
From: Tulsi Gabbard (10:01 am ET) Well, if nothing else, it will certainly create some interesting headlines. Maybe it will even overshadow that ridiculous reality TV show I watched last night, “Dancing with the Czars.” Love Russia!
From: Marco Rubio (10:30 am ET) Gabbard, always showing us your unique perspective. Let’s remember though to keep our focus on the policy, not reality TV.
From: John Ratcliffe (10:33 am ET) Rubio, she’s never going to change. 🙄 As for the policy, we need to make this move. I know it’s high stakes, but it’s exactly what Trump wants.
From: Susie Wiles (10:46 am ET) I agree with Ratcliffe. But we need to be smart about it. We can’t let our guard down. How are we going to handle the European problem?
From: JD Vance (10:54 am ET) I’ve been thinking about that, Wiles. We should probably bring in Scott to discuss it.
From: Scott Bessent (11:00 am ET) Hello team, happy to assist. Let’s hammer out a financial plan that we can all agree upon. It’s time we stopped every European freeloader in their tracks.
From: Steve Witkoff (11:15 am ET) Hear, hear Bessent! I’m tired of bailing them out.
From: JD Vance (11:30 am ET) Absolutely with you there, Witkoff. Now, let’s get this policy off the ground. Trump will love us for it.
