President Bannon Punked Drumpf With EO Placing Him On NSC .

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/02/06/1630440/-President-Bannon-Punked-Drumpf-With-EO-Placing-Him-On-NSC

*snip*

“Presi*ent Donald Trump complained that he was not fully briefed before signing an executive order that gave chief political strategist Stephen Bannon a seat on the National Security Council, the New York Times reports. The executive order, which gave Bannon an unprecedented security role for a non-military advisor, was reportedly one of a series of orders crafted by Bannon and policy director Stephen Miller. Trump reportedly signed the order without fully understanding the power it would grant Bannon, and grew angry when he later learned the order's full significance.”

Actually worse than we were afraid of, even as folks predicted/suggested that all Trump wanted was the trappings/image of being Pres. with none of the actual work.

Good, tho, that the story is starting to come out, and people are realizing we have a dim, possibly illiterate, not fully aware or caring President.
Bannon's got to be the target now.

or what is being read to him. Bannon told him to sign it and he did.
IQ in single digits.

Sheeesh, you would think incurring the Don Small Crowd's wrath would have yielded a more immediate and harsh response.

Is he too dependent on him? Afraid to lose face? He's been made a fool of! This is ridiculous. Things must be truly chaotic over there.

And the place leaks like a sieve.

Surely there's some devious person in the mix who thought to be like Aaron Burr and not express their positions or objections.

This lazy irresponsible slob is a reflection of those who voted for him, lazy irresponsible voters.
