Marlo, the ones in my world think that either ffpotus and ccf were "strong" or that ffpotus is way, way smarter than he is portraying. SMH.

Then:

• Why is he letting others demolish our agencies that are “watchdogs” so he or others can’t be held accountable for corruption?

• Why is he removing ALREADY drastically cut IRS personnel at TAX season (dumb) - people that brought in $$$$$$$$ BILLIONS from tax fraud. I guess Trump doesn’t want the IRS snooping in his taxes…

• Why doesn’t he have the wealthy & corporations pay their fair share in taxes instead of giving them $4.5 trillion cuts and then scramble to cut needed areas from the poor and perhaps suddenly unemployed?

• Why isn’t Trump FOLLOWING the LAW in doing the cuts? It is ILLEGAL for him to fire Inspector Generals, cut/dismantle agencies Congress created and approved funding for. There is a LAWFUL PROCESS! That is the heart of democracy!

Trump is IGNORING that process. He is IGNORING COURT ORDERS to unfreeze the freeze in spending the allocated funds already approved by Congress. How is THAT “smart.” That is a DICTATORSHIP!

Sigh. Don't they realize trump has never ever "hid his light under a bushel"? That he is simply incapable of such subtlety. He wears his brags and "accomplishments" on his sleeve.

I'll admit it isn't always easy to see where he is being himself and where he is acting on orders and/or talking points from Moscow...but if you look carefully to see where Trump sees immediate advantage for himself--or a chance to avenge a grievance--you can usually figure out where he's going to go. He cannot for the life of him plan for his own long-range benefit--he's too impulsive. But he certainly can follow the orders of someone who does have the ability plan long range. Unfortunately.
