Trump makes it official "Lemme tell you, the one that matters is me. Im the only one that matters"



“Lemme tell you, the one that matters is me. I’m the only one that matters, because when it comes to it, that’s what the policy is going to be.”


http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/11/trump-on-unfilled-jobs-i-am-the-only-one-who-matters.html

“Your State Department still has some unfilled positions. Are you worried that the State Department doesn’t have enough Donald Trump nominees in there to push your vision through?” Ingraham asked, adding that “there’s a concern that the State Department is currently undermining your agenda.”

Trump responded with his customary eloquence and clarity of mind.

“So we don’t need all the people they want,” Trump said. “I’m a businessman, and I tell my people, ‘When you don’t need to fill slots, don’t fill them.’ But we have some people that I’m not happy with there. Lemme tell you, the one that matters is me. I’m the only one that matters, because when it comes to it, that’s what the policy is going to be.”




Even if you give it the most generous possible interpretation the President is stating that he can run the entire federal system by himself, hiring key people is unimportant, everyone is a clerk except for him and that every decision should be forwarded to him for final disposition.

The excerpted quote however expresses the real sentiment of the ass in chief.

The Nazi Sebastian Gorka and inexplicably still on your payroll Kellyanne Conway both admonished the media not to be so obsessed with what you had to say:

Who are we supposed to believe, here?
