President Donald Trump presided over a marathon Cabinet meeting on Tuesday that ran roughly three hours and 17 minutes, eclipsing his previous on-camera records. Reporters were ushered into the Cabinet Room at 12:11 p.m. and remained until 3:27 p.m., giving the session the distinction of being the longest continuous televised event of Trump’s presidency, according to White House and media tallies. Trump opened with a 45-minute monologue on crime, the economy and foreign policy before inviting each of his department heads to speak. Secretaries highlighted agency initiatives and repeatedly praised the president, underscoring the administration’s effort to showcase what it calls unprecedented transparency. The meeting was the seventh of Trump’s second term and followed nearly three hours of televised Oval Office events the previous day. The most striking endorsement came from special envoy Steve Witkoff, who told the president he was “the single finest candidate” for the Nobel Peace Prize and urged the Norwegian committee to recognize him. Witkoff’s appeal drew applause in the Cabinet Room and swift debate outside the White House, adding another layer of spectacle to an already highly choreographed event.
