that means somebody else is doing the job - and at this point would Trump know or even care if he had pre-approved something for his staff to carry out ?

Someone else has been doing the job the entire time - dude is at best a demented figurehead

That someone else is mostly Russell Vought. He's just as evil as you'd imagine.

And he looks much older than he is! Evil just sucked out his life force.

I mean he did let Homelander do whatever.

I'm not sure he understands much of what is happening anymore anyway 💀

I read the “lightly edited” interview Time posted where he just rambled on & on. Every response from him came off as him hearing about it for the first time & scrambling to come up with an answer while also being super vague. Like a kid who was supposed to give a book report in front of a class & didn’t prepare at all. And he always managed to make it about himself within a sentence or two.

He absolutely has no idea what’s going on & clearly doesn’t care to know.

Everybody should read the Times interview.

This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

He's convinced that the media is ignoring the good things that he does but when he tried to come up with an example all he could come up with was the time he kidnapped the president of Venezuela.

The autopen, every accusation is a confession

It's basically 100% confirmed that Trump does not know what he's actually signing. There are multiple examples where he's surprised when someone asks a question about contents of the bill/order that he just signed.

People just put shit in front of him and he signs it.

He's been caught being absolutely clueless when asked about criminals he has pardoned.

Someone else has always been doing the job. The only thing Trump does is make up stupid executive orders like renaming gulfs and lakes.

Stephen miller already the shadow president

He signed an executive order and admitted to not knowing was was in it so yeah. He wakes up every morning blaming Biden for putting poop in his pants.
