Kevin Hassett, during a TV interview, had the spit take of the year.
The subject was whether Hassett ever had to have difficult conversations with Trump:
HOST: Mr. Hassett, you know, it’s often that great leaders need to be ones who surround themselves with people who can deliver them hard truths, and it’s a strange time in this economy. Many things are changing, be it AI or the impact of higher oil prices. I wonder what those conversations are like.
How often are you coming to the president and delivering him advice that’s maybe hard to take, that parts of this economy may need various efforts? How often are you having those difficult conversations?
HASSETT: You know, I obviously can’t talk about specific conversations with the president. I was in the Oval with him last night. We talked about a wide range of issues, and he doesn’t really have much patience for yes men. And so when you go into a meeting in the Oval, one thing I can say is that you cover a wide range of topics and a wide range of opinions.
Excuse me, but WTAF!
One could credibly claim that Hassett is one of the biggest ass-kissers in the country, if not the biggest. I mean, Hassett has his nose so far up Trump’s ass that he could tell you what Trump had for breakfast. Has Hassett never been to a cabinet meeting? There is so much ass-kissing that everyone walks away with specks of shit on their lips.
I don’t even recall when any of these sycophants ever stood up to Trump.
