re: #141 Barefoot Grin

Of course, later in the day they will say “that’s not true at all; we called State but no one was answering!”

Trump is acting like a CEO who’s already in charge, not waiting for the current CEO’s contract to expire. So, he assumes he doesn’t need to clear his activities with anyone in the office (so to speak). That works OK for the Trump Org, but government can’t work that way — unless Trump wants to be dictator. That’s certainly his frame of mind, and what his followers want.
