Trump holds cabinet meeting, promises change

"Never has there been a president - with few exceptions, in the case of FDR he had a major Depression to handle - who's passed more legislation, who's done more things than what we've done", Trump told his cabinet members.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his staff on Monday recorded a video mocking President Donald Trump and a weird televised portion of his Monday Cabinet meeting during members took turns thanking Trump for the opportunity to serve in his administration.

It would be the second consecutive week in which the White House will make a push to show Trump is moving ahead on his top domestic priority - jobs - in spite of investigations into whether he had anything to do with possible Russian meddling in the 2016 USA presidential election. "You were right on message".

President Trump's first full Cabinet meeting evolved into a series of rapid-fire plaudits from the nation's top government officials.

And on it went, with each official describing in glowing terms their admiration for Trump's work. "For four months I got bogged down in that swamp that you want to drain". "They see us leading across the board".

Chief of staff Reince Priebus was perhaps the most effusive in his praise. Trump himself blamed Democrats for their resistance to rolling back the Affordable Care Act, the signature legislative achievement of President Barack Obama.

Although he will speak about ways his administration plans to combat the ISIS, Trump noted that his first foreign trip has already proved to be beneficial, saying several world leaders have revved up their efforts to prevent terrorism funding. "That's what they want to do, that's the game, they think that's their best political gain".
