During lengthy Cabinet meetings, President Trump has been seen closing his eyes in front of the cameras. When asked about this behavior, Trump explained, āItās boring as hell,ā in a recent interview with New York Magazine.
Describing the meetings as tedious, Trump mentioned, āIām going around a room, and Iāve got 28 guys ā the last one was three and a half hours,ā highlighting the challenging nature of these sessions which often involve excessive flattery towards him.
He further explained, āI have to sit back and listen, and I move my hand so that people will know Iām listening. Iām hearing every word, and I canāt wait to get out.ā
On the other hand, Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a different perspective, suggesting that Trump’s closed eyes might be a ālistening mechanismā in a profile on Trump’s health published in the same magazine.
