With Trump completely insane, who is driving the bus ?

Seeing the disaster speech at the G7 , its obvious Trump can't be in charge of anything. He forgets what he says from one sentence to another and is about to drop dead.

We haven't heard of Steven Miller in a while. He seems to have disappeared.

Rubio is too submissive and craven to be the mastermind.

It's certainly nobody in congress, they are just his lapdog.

Who else ? Oligarchs?

2. I thought Trump's, "California doesn't have electricity." Was kind of crazy.

I imagine some people are thinking more about how they can get off the bus and survive.

But it would be nice to know the names.

It is odd that nobody ever even mentions Vance in these questions. H si disliked by > 50% of the public and gets favorable ratings from only about a quarter of the population. But he i s a nobody. He has never been anything more than an errand boy for Theil. I doubt that anybody in the inner circle takes him seriously.

Say what you like about Pence, but in this situation, it would be assumed that Pence would be a prominent figure.

8. My bet is Vance, Thiel, Vought and other Christian Nationalist "elite" in the administration.

Satan is definitely the puppet-master of the Trump administration, no matter which humans pretend to be in charge!


That's my slightly ironic opinion and I'm sticking to it
