Without serious Insider information I am willing to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt on this. And the reason I am is because I think he was surrounded by many traitors and was fed lies of great magnitude.
A president is to some degree at the mercy of all of his assistants, advisors, experts ad nauseam. When the majority of these people are actively sabotaging the man it is one hell of a situation.
You and I actually have a lot more freedom in accessing information and research than the president does because of his responsibilities. There’s just too much for one man to do.
I agree with your sentiment.
I’ll add that the only perfect man to ever live was hung on a cross.
