Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's recent tribute to President Donald Trump, during which he described learning from the president as a "masterclass," has drawn sharp reactions and become a subject of online mockery.

During the launch of the "Freedom Haulers" initiative at the White House, Duffy addressed the president, stating, "It has been just an honor to work with you." He then turned to those gathered and added, "To me, he is a masterclass, to see how this president operates, to watch him and learn from him, is amazing, so thank you."

Duffy, a former reality television personality, has a history of publicly praising the president. The remarks were widely shared and commented on across social media platforms, with many users on X, formerly Twitter, criticizing the secretary's effusive language.
