Report: Bannon, Miller writing Trump’s exec orders…
… and not bothering to consult with agencies affected.
President Donald Trump’s team made little effort to consult with federal agency lawyers or lawmakers as they churned out executive actions this week, stoking fears the White House is creating the appearance of real momentum with flawed orders that might be unworkable, unenforceable or even illegal. …
Inside the West Wing, it is almost impossible for some aides to know what is in the executive orders, staffers say. They have been written by Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior White House adviser for policy, and Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, according to people familiar with the matter. Ideas for some of the Trump executive orders came from transition officials and so-called “landing teams,” sources say, who weren’t working in the White House.
Aides have also said that it was sometimes a game-time decision if Trump was going to sign a certain executive order that day.

Just like Trumps buildings, he doesn’t design or build them, he just puts his name on them…
The exact same thing for his executive orders, he doesn’t write them or dream them up, he just puts his name on them.

He is busy with the great prostitutes supplied by putin, he gets free golden showers for life as long as he provides his signature every once in awhile.

Reagan at least looked like He was thinking. Well Reagan was an Actor Well, Not a Real Good Actor But He got paid for Acting.

When I watch Trump’s I get the distinct impression that he spends part of every day looking into a mirror and trying to make a face that makes him seem like a serious serious thinker.
So serious. Totally thinking.

Like Ronald Reagan but with more greed and malice.

Like Reagan but a far less convincing actor.

Since Rump reads very little it’s likely he’s signing not knowing what he’s signing…

They are not taking a sledgehammer to democracy.They are using an ice pick,chipping away at it piece by piece,as a useless house and senate sit comfortably and allow snakes like Bannon,a self described Linninist pull the strings on their charismatic puppet.

This is not even the lunatics running the asylum, it is the rats in the cellar running it.
