Two of Donald Trumps senior advisors neither of whom has any previous government or legal experience have reportedly been writing executive orders without any input from the agencies they would effect.
Aides told Politico that Steve Bannon, the presidents chief strategist, and Stephen Miller, the senior White House advisor for policy, have made almost no effort to consult with federal agency lawyers or lawmakers as they wrote executive orders.
Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart, and Miller, a Republican political operative whos written most of Trumps major speeches, are writing many of the orders based on ideas that came from transition officials or landing teams who werent working in the White House.
The orders have come so quickly, and from seemingly out of nowhere, that aides sometimes arent even sure which actions Trump will sign until they cross his desk. He was determined to show people that hes getting to work from Day One, a source told Politico.

And Bannon is using Trump's mental instability on purpose.
He's hardening Trump supporters. That 30% base to believe anything and to feel outraged.
He wants to use that 30% as civilian shock troops.
