I've always thought that every president, including O'Buckwheat, comes into the office ready ta bull the china shop, in whatever way they're inclined.

But they get a lecture from a person, or persons, who never get mentioned by anybody, that tells em: "Yeah, you can do (whatever), but if ya do, it's really gonna fck up x, y or z."

In Trump's case, let's take the declassification issue.

I really believe he wants to do that. Bad.

But someone inside the CIA, NSA, or somewhere, deep state is as good a term as any, has managed to get him to agree not to, because it's going to fck up something else.

Weird theory, but it's been consistent. Even O'Buckwheat didn;t do half the country destroyin he set out ta do, havin both houses of mindless congressional votes.
