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.

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.

And the place leaks like a sieve.
