Brilliant analysis. Unfortunately far too many (like, 'all') Thug admin staffers are "trump 1st America 2nd (or last)" so we may never get to find out just WHO is actually writing each of these screeds of used toilet paper he's issuing (yeah, I know, but it cant ALL be Stephen Miller, CAN it?).

Thanks. I think a lot of it is spit out but a little AI machine in Grandma Susie’s (Wiles) basement.

That Trump announcement sounds exactly like something that would be spewed out be a low- to mid-level bureaucrat. Trump didn’t write it. We can only hope that he at least read it before adopting it but that’s asking a lot from a functional illiterate such as the Orange TACO.

Low-lev bureaucrat, lol. That sounds about right!

Socially low, for certain.

💯 hard agree. about all of it, but specifically about the “never trumpers” who did zilch to keep him out of office.

Maybe they should start saying “the office of the President” when the felon is clearly not the author.

They won’t take any of my suggestions. :-)

I agree DJT did not write this memo. Nor did he write any of the EO’s. My guess is Vought. I doubt DJT reads anything also.

Vought is a reasonable guess, especially since a lot of the EOs are lifted right out of Project 2025. So even if he's not directly writing them, he, through Project 2025, is the source.

I can sort of imagine this clunky old AI machine where some low-level bureaucrat inserts Project 2025 and the machine spits out an Executive Order based on a prompt.
