Trump runs cabinet meetings like he's still on The Apprentice
Reading the NYT account of a cabinet meeting where Trump supposedly "limited" Musk, i was struck by something:
This is just an episode of The Apprentice.
Two contestants sitting in front of The Donald yelling at each other over whose fault it is the team lost the challenge that week, then The Donald coming down on one side of the argument or the other.
Like, I know that the first Trump administration wasn't exactly the model of good governance and that Trump's management style is to get these chaotic rivalries going but... it just hadn't hit me yet that the game show where he pretended to run a company is also how he's actually running the country.
