    Good piece on how Trump frequently issues directives via off-the-cuff remarks and tweets that end up just getting ignored by the government officials who'd be charged with actually implementing the policy he purportedly wantshttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/05/trump-aides-ignore-president/589489/ …

        So we are to assume there is no communication happening behind the scenes? We aren't mind readers and don't have access to that information. This is purely an assumption based on barely anything, and yes I read the article.

        I have written about this a few times. Tweets aren't policy. No government official is taking action based on a tweet. Policy guidance comes through official, written channels.https://news.clearancejobs.com/2017/12/21/difference-government-policy-twitter-statements/ …

        As far as POTUS cutting off funds to Central America that sounds more like a threat to those countries to deter their people from fleeing. Other times, with his tweets or public proclamations, it seems he’s testing the waters by the public reaction he gets.

        Which is why Trump like keeping acting ministers and beurocracts, so he can replace them if they don't do their job.

        Them that’s when the government implements the Atlantic Council’s fascist policies. What a relief.

        I love these assumptions that present entrenched government bureaucrats who have never made an executive decision somehow wise. Go to your local dmv, then re read this story.
