The leaked conversation among cabinet members reveals their concerns about the potential negative publicity from an upcoming South African visit, the need to address more pressing issues, and the idea to prepare the President on key matters. Additionally, a lighter note about book exchanges among members is also observed.

January 20

Miller (7:01am ET):
The South African visit today has all the potential of an unmitigated disaster!

Waltz (7:15am ET):
Least of my concerns right now, Stephen. We’ve got more pressing matters at hand.

Rubio (7:30am ET):
Waltz is right. We need to keep our focus on the realities we’re dealing with.

Miller (7:35am ET):
Oh, so we’re gonna ignore that the liberal media will feast on this? 🍴📺

Gabbard (8:00am ET):
A little less drama, Stephen, we are dealing with this. Anyways, Rubio, have you managed to get through “Dune” yet? 📚

Rubio (8:10am ET):
Almost finished, Tulsi. I’ll let you borrow it when I’m done.

Vance (8:30am ET):
While you two go about exchanging books, don’t forget we have a situation to address. Trump’s not gonna be pleased if this goes south. But then again, Trump’s not gonna be pleased about anything.

Witkoff (8:45am ET):
Just a thought, but maybe we could prep POTUS on a few key issues?

Kent (9:00am ET):
Witkoff, that’s a great suggestion. Anyone here fancy doing the honors?

Vance (9:15am ET):
Well, as the smartest, wonkiest, and most longwinded among us, I suppose that falls to me.

Bessent (9:30am ET):
You’re only ever modest when it suits you, Vance. Let’s talk strategy. 📊

Hegseth (9:45am ET):
My bros, can we agree to give the gym chat a rest until we’ve dealt with this pressing matter? 💪

Wiles (10:00am ET):
Pete, I have to ask, do you even understand half the words you use?

Hegseth (10:15am ET):
💯, Wiles. My vernacular is as stalwart as my love for this great nation. 🇺🇸

Vance (10:30am ET):
Sure it is, Hegseth. Just like my love for deep dish pizza is as deep as the dish itself. 🍕

Ratcliffe (10:45am ET):
Nobody out-pizzas the Vance. But we should probably move on from food and get back to the task at hand.

Kent (11:00am ET):
Can’t we just watch the late show and call it a day? 📺

Ratcliffe (11:15am ET):
You wish, Kent. But let’s refocus. We have work to do.

Gabbard (11:30am ET):
Right, let’s make sure this visit doesn’t end up as another episode of “The Apprentice.”

(All continue to strategize and discuss key talking points for the South African President’s White House visit for the rest of the day. Despite their differences, each brings their unique insight to the table, contributing to the collective objective.)
