Critics winced at a wild moment in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump was fielding questions about his newly announced $5 million pathway to U.S. citizenship when he was handed a bundle of red caps emblazoned with the slogan, “Trump Was Right About Everything.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, appeared visibly uncomfortable behind Trump.
But Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seemingly reveled in the spectacle, laughing and fawning over the president. At one point, Lutnick even told those in attendance, “Always say yes to the president.”
The incident prompted a wave of cringe on social media, with commenters expressing their discomfort and suggesting it was an infomercial.
