Aaron Rupar: I regret to inform you that the president is awake and crazy-posting

4. Still, it sounds manufactured

maybe even if approved by Trump somewhat. Compared to his style or lack thereof. They must be hard pressed to get Trump to(wait they can't do that without bigly trouble) appear to be committed to anything. He's slipping, bored, in pain, put off by any difficulty or wise barriers, just on easy automatic pilot and encouraged by sycophants. The way this is set up no one can exactly "handle" Trump, but they can veer the car around while the cliff approaches and entertain the boss.

Or being set up and kept in position to replace so everyone breathes a sigh of relief for some sort of transition.
