During the meeting to discuss America hosting the World Cup in 2026 alongside Canada and Mexico, Kristi Noem showed her deep gratitude for Donald Trump."Well, thank you, Mr. President," she said. "Thank you so much for dreaming big dreams and doing unprecedented things. Your entire life, you have stood for doing things that other people thought they couldn't do and accomplishing unprecedented events and achievements. This is one of those events that I think is going to be remarkable and will stand the test of time as the world's greatest sporting event ever held and conducted. You are honoring us by agreeing to be the chairman of this event."
The former governor of South Dakota emphasized how Trump's efforts to get the games to the United States will help the world. "There's a bonding that happens among people," she explained. "I believe that's what you are doing, is creating an opportunity for the world to become a friendlier place. It's going to be incredibly special. So, thank you for leading at an unprecedented time and doing so with big visions for the future. Thank you for doing this."
"Thank you very much," the Republican leader told his staff member. "Appreciate it."

The loving monologue from Kristi Noem comes after Republican pundit Ann Coulter called out how Donald Trump's administration members were gushing over him during a televised cabinet meeting, calling the compliments "Kim Jong il-style tributes."During the gathering, Marco Rubio applauded Trump for returning 47 wrongfully detained Americans back to the United States since January. "Forty-seven for the 47th president in the first 100 days," he said. "And that's all credit to you, Mr. President."
"I think this could be the greatest administration since the founding of the country," Elon Musk told the right-winger.

While Donald Trump's staffers may be loving everything he's doing, an Axios poll recently found 52 percent of Americans think the businessman is a "dangerous dictator."Another survey by ABC News claimed Trump's approval rating was only 39 percent, to which he quickly fired back at. "Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS," he penned in a Truth Social update. "The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are."

Even some of Donald Trump's fellow Republicans have spoken out against his efforts in his first 100 days back in office."When it gets to the economy, he is in very bad shape," former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove said during a Monday, April 28, Fox News appearance. "It's not only that he's in the short term in bad shape, there's also evidence in the poll that no matter, even if he gets his way on certain things like tariffs, that he's not good in the long run."
