Trump Uses Cabinet Meeting to Vent About Epstein, Putin and Powell
The New York TimesTuesday, July 8, 2025 at 11:18:04 PM
During a lengthy and unusually public cabinet meeting, President Trump veered off-script to air his thoughts on a mix of controversial figures—from Jeffrey Epstein to Vladimir Putin—while also delivering an animated, off-the-cuff history lesson about past White House residents. The 104-minute session felt more like a freewheeling monologue than a formal government discussion.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another routine meeting—it’s a snapshot of Trump’s unfiltered leadership style, where personal grievances and tangents take center stage over policy. For critics, it underscores concerns about his focus; for supporters, it might reinforce his image as a disruptor. Either way, it’s a reminder of how his presidency often blurs the line between official business and personal theatrics.
