Is someone or a group of someones telling DT exactly what to do?

[raccoon]

Such as tell him to slap the tariffs on steel and aluminum?

Reason I ask is, remember Raygun's second term. DT might be pretty far gone too.

1. Whatever his issues (undetermined but legion)

he agrees with whoever spoke with him last, and who tells him what he wants to hear (that X will make him popular for example). He has no compass or principles of his own.

2. Peter Navarro - "the loopiest member of Trump's retinue"

Peter Navarro doesn't speak Chinese, and has scant in-country experience. Should that matter?

6. Thanks for the links. He sounds like a real dingaling. Nt

3. If something or someone was telling DJT what to do

They'd have to be dumber than Donald appears to be. I'm not sure it would have enough intelligence to speak, so, "No."

4. Yes.

I honestly believe he never really wanted to be president in the first place. He just wanted some publicity for his new media venture. Look at how absolutely shit scared he looked in the weeks before the inauguration and every time he's in a situation where the press or anyone else with more knowledge could conceivably ask him questions (as opposed to giving canned speeches to self-selecting devotees).

He's getting his marching orders directly from the Kremlin.

5. Of course. Carl Icahn was one of his first Business Advisors appointed.

They're all billionares making Trumps decisions for him.
He's just the public stooge they needed to prop up in the media, the distraction, while they emptied the Country's national treasure.
