'Dear Leader' Trump's Sycophantic Cabinet Meeting Mercilessly Mocked

People online poked fun at the way President Donald Trump’s cabinet lavished praise on their “dear leader” during its first gathering on Monday.

Many likened the footage of cabinet members eulogizing Trump to an episode from his reality TV show “The Apprentice.” Here’s how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) responded:

GREAT meeting today with the best staff in the history of the world!!! http://pic.twitter.com/ocE1xhEAac

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 12, 2017

Some Twitter users said the meeting bore a striking similarity to a scene from the “Harry Potter” movie franchise, while others questioned whether North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s cabinet members acted the same way.

Check out some of the best responses below:

The approval rating among cabinet members is sky high. https://t.co/ysBCjqSsnD

Trump cabinet meeting is a fascinating depiction of what seems to be a meeting to pat Trump on the head and tell him he's a good boy.

I imagine Kim Jong-un's cabinet meetings go much the same as Trump's sycophantic display today #Cult45

If Trump's cabinet were any more sycophantic, they would have ritualistically sacrificed their own children while chanting Donald's name.

Trump cabinet meeting sycophantic spectacle. Like tacitus' description of the roman senate kissing nero's ass.

With tough love like this, it's shocking that they can't get Trump to act presidential... https://t.co/oH0OS5dYy6

This interminable cabinet spray, where everybody pays tribute to Trump, is one of the most exquisitely awkward public events I've ever seen.

He absolutely would never ask anyone for loyalty though. Completely out of character. https://t.co/hVldvLyOtn
