White House cabinet meeting broadcast worldwide, then viewers zoom in on one detail that has everyone talking

During President Trump’s cabinet meeting on Tuesday, December 2, viewers spotted an embarrassing typo on US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s nameplate. The White House broadcast the meeting around the world, so everyone saw the mistake. Officials misspelled Hegseth’s title as “SSECRETARY OF WAR” instead of “SECRETARY OF WAR.”

The typo quickly became the main topic online, taking attention away from the actual meeting discussions. The most likely reason is that a White House official simply made a mistake while making the nameplates. However, some people online claimed the extra “SS” was a deliberate reference to the Nazi party, which is clearly wrong and ridiculous.

The nameplate wasn’t the only thing that went viral from the meeting, as per Unilad. Social media users also noticed President Trump appearing to fall asleep during the 2 hour, 17 minute session. People started calling him “Dozy Don” and “Commander in Sleep” online.

The president has faced similar accusations before

This is reportedly the third time in recent weeks that Trump has been accused of sleeping during meetings. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended him, telling the media that “President Trump was listening attentively and running the entire three-hour marathon Cabinet meeting.”

Before the sleeping moment, Trump had criticized journalists for questioning his physical health. He said journalists “always find something new, like, ‘Is he in good health?'” and sarcastically added, “Biden was great.” Trump sounded frustrated with the press focusing on his health. The administration has previously called out certain news outlets for their coverage.

Trump said he gives “the right answers” and solves their “little problems,” but they still write stories saying “Biden was in wonderful health.” He complained that if he skips one day of press conferences, the media immediately says “There’s something wrong with the President.” He explained that he does “four news conferences a day” and answers questions from “very intelligent lunatics. You people.”

The meeting covered several serious topics, including the administration’s tough approach on drug trafficking, health concerns, and a rant about Somali migrants.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently confirmed that Trump supports Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s suggestion to expand the current travel ban. The ban already stops immigration from 19 countries, including Afghanistan. Trump has also vowed to halt all immigration from certain countries.

The Tuesday cabinet meeting will likely be remembered more for the nameplate typo and Trump’s sleeping moment than for the actual policy discussions.
