Just read this:
This is what's running the country right now.
Buried in the NYT story that just dropped today: "not fully briefed on the order he signed."

This is what's running the country right now.
Madeleine Albright says she believes he's just a puppet. The more I read about him, the more I agree with that summing up. It would certainly explain what seems like a solid wooden head. Who prepares the executive orders? I suspect his "Chief Strategist" was the one who put that particular EO on the table, giving himself an elevated position over other, more important members of the Council.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that "puppet" is exactly on point. He's certainly sloppy and inattentive to details, which provides an excellent opportunity for those of his staff who have agendas of their own -- which means, effectively, all of them. And I suspect he's easily led, as long as it's a direction he thinks he wants to go.
ReplyDeleteBut, I suppose the end result is the same.
