Trump steps up effort to prevent truth from exposing his administration with new appointee

Jen Psaki points out how much of what we know about what the Trump administration is up to is due to leakers and whistleblowers on the inside exposing the truth about an administration where lying is the norm. Trump has been trying to silence truth tellers since his first day in office, and now he wants to put a loyalist, Paul Ingrassia, in charge of the Office of Special Counsel, the watchdog that deals with whistleblowers.

Jen Psaki calls out Trump for focusing more on White House redecorating than Texas floods

Jen Psaki is calling out Donald Trump over the shocking vanity of comments he made during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday. 'Have you ever heard the expression 'rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic'?' Psaki asked viewers at the top of Tuesday night's show. 'It's supposed to be an unbelievable exaggeration of someone engaging in a trivial task during a crisis. Today, Trump one-upped it.' Psaki spoke about ongoing rescue efforts in Texas following last weekend's devastating and deadly floods that set the backdrop to Tuesday's Cabinet meeting. While Trump did speak briefly about the ongoing federal response, including his plan to visit Texas on Friday, as Psaki noted, 'He also had another pressing matter he felt the need to address in that meeting.' 'He spent almost 15 minutes talking about how he redecorated the Cabinet room of the White House,' Psaki said, before playing several clips of the president boasting about his interior decorating efforts, including his choice to hang a portrait of Andrew Jackson and to fit the room with new drapes and lamps. The president also mused about adding gold leaf to the walls. 'Painting the ceilings gold isn't exactly a pressing issue for Trump's Cabinet right now,' Psaki quipped. 'But it does tell you a little bit about where Trump's head is at.' You can watch Psaki's full take on Trump's comments in the clip below. This article was originally published on
