How do you manipulate someone who NEVER has an original idea? Always relies on others?

Rump watches fox in the morning, whatever that show is called, because he himself does not now nor EVER has an original idea, about anything.

Ever.

Daddy said "call these mobsters and they will make it easy for you to buy this building with this money I am giving you."

He then hired people (this is according to his biographer who was in the meetings) who would suggest things to him but pretend they were his ideas, because if you didnt do that he would get mad and fire you.

Who was it last night on Lawrence who said Rump has spent his life bullying, lying, stealing?...yeah

Anyway, how do you manipulate someone who will grab on to anything? Wouldn't it be grand if we could put an impostor on that fox set so he or she could feed him ideas like "better NOT to kill children crossing the border"

Any other ideas?

to keep him focused and feeling in charge. pathetic.

generally, though, the last one how has his ear is the one who manipulates him the best.


foreign officials openly talk about manipulating him, and do so obviously.


how ridiculous. i can't recall any presidential manipulation being this openly talked about.
usually it's only in the memoirs of a retired white house adviser that comes out late in the second term at the earliest.
