This actually makes me pretty angry, because it's simply enabling all his worst traits. Trump has an amazing ability to take a combination of praise and criticism, filter out all the criticism, and remember only the praise. Giving him this praise-party will only further make him pig-headedly stubborn in the face of any criticism or even advice they may try to offer in private. Any advice he doesn't like can now be met with "Yeah, but you already said my judgement was amazing. I've got it on tape. Here, watch. Have you got a room full of people saying how amazing your judgement is? No? Then why should I listen to your opinion over my own?"
You can't even pretend that there are adults in the room anymore. Just a bully and a bunch of childish cowards, willing to undermine their own effectiveness just to stay close to the seat of power.
