"I wasn't briefed"

Of course, this is also proof of dereliction of duty.

He has the attention span of a gnat. Also, Putin is the one who calls the shots and Trump just does as he's told. That's why Trump speaks with his handler so frequently.

However, I am surprised they don't at least put it on the schedule to make it look like like he's actually in charge.

I'm really thinking he's already decided to "give it up" because ain't no way he's gonna' beat Joe.
So, just kinda' go through the motions, get lots of free rides and rallies to sell his MAGA shit, and then go to Mar-a-Gago for the rest of his days - or until Puttie calls him into the office in Moscow.....

...I wasn't briefed.

One of his aides had have came up with the idea. Its like putting a metal bowl into a microwave....How did I know it would catch on fire and burn the house down? I never read the manual and no one ever told me.
