Sean Duffy’s fawning praise of President Donald Trump turned the transportation secretary into the butt of jokes on X on Thursday.

During the launch of the “Freedom Haulers“ initiative at the White House, Duffy turned to the president and told him: “It has been just an honor to work with you.”

Then, to those gathered the Cabinet member and former reality TV star said: “To me, he is a masterclass, to see how this president operates, to watch him and learn from him, is amazing, so thank you.”

It’s not the first time Duffy has heaped praise on the president in a public setting.

And the mockery came thick and fast:
