Trump is Obviously Incompetent. Who is Actually Running Our Country?

Moreover, who, exactly, has been running our country since Trump was “elected”? Trump hasn’t put in a full day’s work since day one. Now, he can barely make it through a photo op. Someone else or some other group is making the decisions. Whom might that be?

There's no Cheney in this situation. At least not domestically. (You could say Putin has considerable sway from afar, though.)

It's just Trump, who loves the idea of being a Grand Exalted Leader but hates the notion of being a President with those pesky checks and balances and traditional Presidential duties.

on immigration decisions.

Larry Kudlow adds his cocaine and alcohol fueled input on fiscal decisions.

Putin for everything else.

Remember, when they tried to recruit Kasich they told him he'd be the most powerful VP ever. In charge of running domestic and foreign policy while MF45 "makes america great again".

Pence and the other scumbags are looting and trashing our country while MF45 keeps everyone's attention.
