10. He is not the one making the decisions, it is the people behind him, he is just a "monkey who can use a pen".

Remember Grover Norquist's advise to republicans to get a "monkey who can use a pen"? He said that, and pointed out that the monkey did not have to come up with any ideas, any type of legislation, all he had to do was to know how to hold and use a pen, and there we have it, trump is the monkey.

Focusing so much on trump is dangerous, the people behind him are the "thinkers", its like when Paul Ryan was around, he was the "thinker", not trump, trump just signed whatever Ryan presented to him, and then like a good monkey he showed the signed document for everyone to see, but could he talk anything about it? No, of course not, he didn't know what he had signed.
