This is where him surrounding himself with sycophants instead of competent people and watching TV all day instead of learning about the Presidency hurts him.
Even if he wanted, for whatever reason, to take action here, I don’t think he has the structures in place to allow him to do it. He’s at the mercy of the people under him, and I can’t imagine they will allow him to do anything to change the status quo here.
