How much of what is really going on do you think drumpf is even aware of?

I've felt for a while now that his handlers are carefully dolling out what information he is allowed to have to ensure that he does what they want.

Combine that with his obvious advanced senility, and I question if he really has any idea what is actually going on.

I offer three examples from recent events:

I missed this from Trump last week. He didnâ€™t know they were American generals and admirals? Holy crap.

So basically all domestic policy decisions coming out of the White House are decided by whatever AI propaganda videos of American cities on fire that Stephen Miller chooses to show Donald Trump on any given day?

I'd also like to know, with so many examples of this happening, why the M$M isn't reporting on it... (Looking at you Jake Tapper.......)

Being fed only what his overseers want him to hear. This does not inspire confidence ….

He is being told tariffs are working very well. He is being told that America has earned the respect of the world. He is being told he is the greatest peacekeeper of our time. He believes it all. He hasn't got a clue what the truth is. He has no desire to read or research anything that might help him learn. He has no idea what is in the spending bill. He has made it clear before that he doesn't know healthcare is affected.

He is surrounded by sociopaths who tell him what they think he wants to hear, instead of telling him the truth, and that includes a lot of flattery. They know they will get fired if they even hint that anything is going badly. Everything he is told is to please him and reaffirm his beliefs. Some lie to manipulate him. Putin lied to him about his admiration (for Trump) and about Ukraine. Trump believed it. I expect Stephen Miller told him the immigrants were eating the cats and dogs. He told him America is hot now and was dead last year. Trump believes it, and he repeats it.

We have an imbecile for a president.
