Trump treats Cabinet interviews like reality-TV show: report

President Trump turned his interviews with potential Cabinet members into a reality TV-type show for members of his New Jersey golf club by encouraging them to stop by and view the parade of candidates, a report said.

“We’re dong a lot of interviews tomorrow – generals, dictators, we have everything. You may want to come around. It’ll be fun. We’re really working tomorrow,” Trump told the members of his Bedminster, N.J., golf club during a cocktail party in November, according to a report in Politico on Saturday.

“We have meetings every 15, 20 minutes with different people that will form our government.”

Trump spent days at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster after the election interviewing possible Cabinet candidates.

“We’re going to be interviewing everybody – Treasury, we’re going to be interviewing Secretary of State. We have everybody coming in – if you want to come around, it’s going to be unbelievable … so you might want to come along,” Trump said, according to Politico, citing an audio tape of his remarks on Nov. 18 from a person who was in the room.

Trump, then the president-elect, paraded a number of Cabinet candidates into his New Jersey club – including Mitt Romney, Betsy DeVos, Wilbur Ross, Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani.

The revelations follow reports the president and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe openly discussed their reaction to North Korea launching a missile into the Sea of Japan among diners at Trump’s Florida resort Mar-a-Lago on Feb. 11.

The White House disputed the Politico story, saying the report attempted to “create a narrative that just isn’t true by taking snippets of conversations and events out of context.”
