Jen Psaki is calling out Donald Trump over the shocking vanity of comments he made during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday.....

While Trump did speak briefly about the ongoing federal response, including his plan to visit Texas on Friday, as Psaki noted, “He also had another pressing matter he felt the need to address in that meeting.”

“He spent almost 15 minutes talking about how he redecorated the Cabinet room of the White House,” Psaki said, before playing several clips of the president boasting about his interior decorating efforts, including his choice to hang a portrait of Andrew Jackson and to fit the room with new drapes and lamps. The president also mused about adding gold leaf to the walls.

“Painting the ceilings gold isn’t exactly a pressing issue for Trump’s Cabinet right now,” Psaki quipped. “But it does tell you a little bit about where Trump’s head is at.”

I know that seems sexist but that’s how it’s always been done for the most part. A couple months ago there were several articles about how Yrump is basically doing what a First Lady does because Melania is nowhere to be seen.
