Trump's cabinet rant

On Wednesday President Trump's Twitter account included an 18-minute video of the beginning of a cabinet meeting, at which the press was present.

It is worth watching. It is 18 minutes of vulgarity, nastiness, a man talking nonsense.

At one stage he calls the man who has been arrested for the terrorist attack in New York as an 'animal'. He has been found guilty before a court of law hands down a judgement.

How many times in every sentence does President Trump use the word 'very'.

It was simply a harangue. Embarrassing too.

But it was intersting to watch a roomful of people, the majority of whom were men, listening to this rant. Why would no one stand up and say 'stop this nonsense'?

That's how power works. That's so often how the management class behaves.
