Wow. If I'm reading this correctly, Trump was not kept in the loop as his accomplices cut nearly $200 million in law enf

I hope they continue to blame each other or get into these spats, as no matter how I look at the Trump regime, it can only get worse as time goes on!!.

Wow. If I'm reading this correctly, Trump was not kept in the loop as his accomplices cut nearly $200 million in law enforcement funding, the largest defunding-the-police action in NY in decades. Kristi Noem should resign or be fired over this.

Cut the funds because “F**k New York”, then after the Democratic governor calls to ask nicely (one presumes), plus complaints from Republican reps and bad press claims “I didn’t know anything about it”.

Pathological liar. 😒

Miller and Nutlick keep him on a need-to-know basis to avoid his temper and his general insanity. Best to just let grandpa golf.

This is at least the third time he’s admitted to not knowing what his administration is doing. The Portland rioting admission is one. And there was a clip of him saying someone else signed an immigration order, even though it’s his signature, indicating use of an auto pen possibly behind his back, or more likely, because he gave his minions carte blanche authority to shred the Constitution.

Because they are making a big deal with their lies that actions were taken under Biden without his knowledge.

about giving them the largest pay raise ever. It was Biden who gave them the pay raise - it just didn't kick in until later. Then he's slapping his name on infrastructure projects that were the result of Biden's bill. Pisses me off to no end.
