Donald Trump handpicked friends, yes-men and women, and individuals who would blindly echo his MAGA ethos since returning to office in January 2025.
And one by one, the officials have become part of the showman’s spectacle, from acting aloof during congressional hearings, retweeting his late-night rambling, and crafting messages to position Trump as a leader for all, not just the wealthy.
At a moment’s notice, he can call on any of his political cronies, expecting them to substantiate his administration’s work.
When he does, people often spot the unusual details no one expected them to notice.
Former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler is the latest of Trump’s ring of public servants to fall on the sword.
Trump appointed Loeffler as Small Business Administration (SBA) administrator last year. She is also a former co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream.
She has been a proponent of his economic agenda, but apparently people are keen to know more about her. A Q&A video her office posted on TikTok was her first notable attempt to let people in.
The footage began with Loeffler pretending to talk to a staffer; she then turned to face the camera and walked down a hallway as another employee, not seen on camera, asked her questions. The first is: “Are you in the Cabinet?”
“Well, actually I am. After I had an incredible conversation with the president by phone, [I] became SBA administrator. He texted me and said, ‘Actually, you’re gonna be in the Cabinet. That’s a really big deal,’” said Loeffler.
“And it is because the SBA administrator isn’t guaranteed a spot in the Cabinet,” she continued. “But because President Trump knows small business is big business, this is a Cabinet spot.”
People ignored her words because her wobbly gait and awkward stride caught them off guard.
@sbagov Answering FAQs with Administrator Loeffler

“Why does it look like this is her first time walking? I’m guessing it’s the heels, but why even wear heels when you’re already 8′ tall?” a viewer wondered. Loeffler revealed her height is 5 feet 11 1/2 without heels in the video.
A second person quipped, “Genuinely one of the most unsettling videos I’ve seen in a long time.”
And then people leaned in closer, taking notice of what was in the administrator’s hand. “It’s impossible to unsee the no papers in the binder, after you pointed it out. What a phony,” read a reaction.
Another person asked, “Is the empty binder a metaphor for this whole administration?”
Trump is uncertain if aliens are real, but social media users are saying proof of an extraterrestrial can be found in his Cabinet after watching the video.
“Glad to see she’s still getting work after Star Wars!!” a TikTok user wrote. Several people compared her to sci-fi characters while harping on Loeffler’s unusually long neck.
The more people lingered on the minute-long video, the more they felt that everything about it was bizarre. Critics zoomed in on the portraits on the walls of the SBA office, noticing that almost all of them were of Loeffler.
A hacker jeered, “When you look like that, who else would put your picture up!”
The comments, though, are less critical than banter about Trump’s interior design overhaul at the White House, where gold has become a decor staple.
