Is 45 even listening to anyone in his government???

A week ago he talked about Sweden being attacked, based only on a report on Fox News. If he had talked to his intelligence/security teams they would have told him no such attack happened. Now he's tweeting about the national debt going down based again on something he heard on Fox News. (And BTW, does he not know the difference between the budget deficit and the overall national debt? Probably not since his "financial genius" is just smoke and mirrors).

So this buffoon has the entire government at his tiny fingertips and it seems he isn't even getting any information from them, only from Fox News. Terrifying!!!!!!!

And, unlike most people that don't understand something, his ego does allow him to ask someone. So, he just parrots whatever Fox reports.

etc

He has others run the business and whenever he gets involved he bankrupts them

He has the reading and comprehension skills of a 4th grader, and his followers love that he is stupid because they too are stupid.

Country is gone, lets save the planet and get those nukes away from him somehow...Legally of course

Otherwise no, he doesn't listen.
We should call him broken 45. Small media vehicle, playing two songs, over and over. he lets some others be/play 45, but their song is just another version of his rhetoric.

side 1, no one is or has been as great as me;
Side 2, only the RIGHT type of people matter, everyone else shut up and go home.
That just popped into my head as I was thinking about what he listens to.
