Apparently, The Worst President Ever doesn’t actually read all of the details of the Executive Orders he signs.
Think about that for a minute (which is longer than Tump would).
This is revealed in the New York Times article Trump and Staff Rethink Tactics After Stumbles. It is filled with amazing quotes.
How does this White House work?
Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room.
Help, let me out!
Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit.
Who needs official reports and intelligence when you have [fake] cable news?
For a sense of what is happening outside, he watches cable, both at night and during the day — too much in the eyes of some aides — often offering a bitter play-by-play of critics like CNN’s Don Lemon.
“Hey, you think we should let Donald in on the creation of Executive Orders?” “It’ll just bore him, but okay.”
[t]he president, for whom chains of command and policy minutiae rarely meant much, was demanding that Mr. Priebus begin to put in effect a much more conventional White House protocol that had been taken for granted in previous administrations: From now on, Mr. Trump would be looped in on the drafting of executive orders much earlier in the process.
What happens if Trump signs an Executive Order offering his own resignation and naming Bannon his successor? It, apparently, could happen!
But for the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the president’s dominant adviser, despite Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban.
Has there ever been such an inept yet vile set of buffoons in The White House? It’s hard to imagine any administration outdoing the incompetence of Trump and his aides. I remind you, too, that we are three weeks into his presidency. THREE WEEKS.
