"Ask Trump for insight into why his administration made a choice or to explain a particular decision, and he'll be at a loss for words. Ask him to comment on a scandal? He'll plead ignorance."
"He is by most accounts isolated from the outside world," Bouie said. "He does not travel the country and rarely meets with ordinary Americans outside the White House. He is shuttled from one Trump resort to another to play golf and hold court with donors, supporters, and hangers-on."
"Trump, Bouie said, "is uninterested in anyone except his most devoted fans, and would rather collect gifts from foreign businessmen than take the reins of his administration."
Donald Trump routinely defers to deputies, struggles to explain decisions, and often pleads ignorance when asked about controversies. He remains isolated from the wider public, rarely traveling or meeting ordinary Americans outside the White House. He spends significant time at Trump resorts playing golf and entertaining donors, supporters, and hangers-on. He maintains a strong cultural presence while showing little outward sign of active participation in day-to-day governance. He was largely absent during a recent shutdown and during deliberations over major legislation. Senior aides and agency leaders now perform many core domestic leadership functions.
