I have never seen a President indicate so often that he is not in charge. Every one is off doing their own things, and as long as they get around telling him about it, he is okay with that.
I may be mistaken, but the office of President is the chief administrator for our Republic. When he gets elected he is given the power to make policy decisions, not the Cabinet. His suborndinates are suppose to see that his decisions are carried out. They can make recommendations, but he has to decide (and be responsible for them).
The way I read this, he is not responsible for anything (unless it is good news, then he is the man).
I do not know if I should believe him or not. I know why he is doing it, I just do not know if he knows.
Sometimes I wonder if somebody (or people) in the intelligence community or military is pulling his strings, period. He strikes me as just being a “sock puppet” for somebody else.
