In a fiery segment that lit up primetime on The Ingraham Angle, Fox News host Laura Ingraham pulled no punches as she unveiled what she called “devastating evidence” from behind the scenes of former President Donald Trump’s recent Cabinet-style meetings — and the implications, she claimed, “obliterate the false image” of President Joe Biden pushed by the liberal media.
According to Ingraham, the closed-door gatherings, which have taken place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and other undisclosed locations, showcased a stark contrast in leadership, decision-making, and energy between Trump and Biden. “What’s happening in those meetings is not just a return to strong conservative policy — it’s a full-blown exposure of Biden’s phoniness, his hollow leadership, and the media’s complicity in propping him up,” Ingraham said.
Trump’s “Shadow Cabinet”?
While Trump no longer holds office, his inner circle — including former Cabinet members, loyal GOP lawmakers, and high-profile MAGA allies — has been quietly assembling. Some have dubbed it a “shadow government in exile.” These meetings, insiders say, are filled with intense strategic discussions, future policy planning, and preparations for what many expect to be Trump’s 2024 (now 2025) return to power.
“These aren’t just casual get-togethers,” said a source close to the former president. “These are structured, deeply focused sessions where Trump leads the room — no cue cards, no teleprompters, just raw command.”
Ingraham seized on this contrast to attack Biden’s leadership, claiming the current president can barely get through public appearances without “fumbling, freezing, or following a script someone else wrote.”
“The Media Knows – And They’re Hiding It”
Ingraham also accused the mainstream press of being fully aware of Biden’s alleged decline and intentionally covering for him. “The same journalists who obsessed over Trump’s every word now won’t even ask basic questions about Biden’s mental sharpness,” she said.
She played a series of video clips showing Biden hesitating during speeches, misreading lines, or walking offstage in confusion. “If this were Trump, every media outlet would be screaming about mental fitness. But for Biden, they roll out excuses — or worse, pretend it never happened.”
According to Ingraham, these deliberate omissions are part of a broader strategy by what she calls the “Democrat-media complex” to manipulate public perception and silence dissent. “The American people aren’t stupid,” she said. “They see the difference between a real leader and a figurehead.”
Critics Call It Political Theater
Not everyone is buying Ingraham’s claims. Critics argue that Trump’s Cabinet-style meetings are nothing more than political theater aimed at maintaining relevance and stirring up controversy.
“This is not a government. It’s a fan club,” said one anonymous Democratic strategist. “Trump is trying to create the illusion of power, but the truth is, he’s not the president. He doesn’t make policy. These meetings are designed for headlines, not solutions.”
Still, Trump’s base appears energized, with many seeing these meetings as a sign that the “America First” agenda is far from over.
More Than Optics?
Political analyst Maria Colton says the optics may matter more than the substance — but that doesn’t mean they’re not effective. “Whether you believe Trump’s meetings are real policy sessions or not, they’re clearly working to contrast his leadership style with Biden’s. And in politics, perception is power.”
Ingraham ended her segment with a warning. “This isn’t just about one election,” she said. “This is about who’s really in charge of America. And right now, too many are pretending not to see the obvious: Joe Biden isn’t leading — and the media isn’t telling the truth.”
As whispers of a Trump political comeback grow louder, and questions swirl around Biden’s 2024 campaign and age-related concerns, one thing is certain: the drama is far from over — and the battle over the narrative has only just begun.
