Chuck Schumer just made a parody video of Trump's weird Cabinet meeting

President Trump wasn't the only member of the U.S. government to get lavished with praise Monday. Shortly after Trump's first full Cabinet assembled Monday and spent a good chunk of time talking about Trump's accomplishments — an activity in which Trump heartily participated — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted out a video of his staff meeting.
Following in Trump's footsteps, Schumer "went around the room" to give everyone an opportunity to pay him a compliment. Since White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus wasn't at his meeting, Schumer found someone else to thank him for "the opportunity and blessing to serve [his] agenda." (Yes, Priebus actually said this verbatim to Trump at the Cabinet meeting earlier Monday.)
