Do you remember that cabinet meeting on June 12, 2017? That was the one where Donald Trump required everyone at the meeting to take a turn fawning over him and praising him like he was North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong Un.
To jog your memory, here's a Web search that will give you video of it and articles about it.
With one week left in Trump's presidency, let's take a look at the roster of participants in that meeting and see what's happened to all of those shameless ass-kissers.
