The problem is not Trump "telling us what he's doing".
The problem is what he's doing.
Not needing to think about the president, or politics in general for that matter, has nothing to do with how much media coverage there is. The whole point of delegating professionals to handle making all the decisions is exactly so that you don't have to think about them yourself.
- dfxm12 9mo agoThis is naive. You have to hold your elected officials accountable, lest they walk all over you. This requires thinking about them, what they're doing and thinking about politics.
- spicyusername 9mo agoNo disagreement. I fear you're interpreting what I'm saying the wrong way. Imagine you have two children. As with any loving parent, doing what you can to support your children is paramount. One of your children has substance abuse issues and has been struggling to keep a job and the other is running a few successful bookstores in a vacation town and recently got married. Of course you don't have favorites. And of course you will do what you need to do to make each child successful. But one of those children you're going to spend a lot more time thinking and worrying about than the other. But that does not mean you're not taking your job supporting either of them seriously. I'm saying I'm getting real tired of thinking about which rehab center is best and googling the effects of barbiturates, if you know what I mean.
