You can inject as many assumptions as you wish.

Right now the evidence is as I’ve stated it.

"It appears to be the only idea" is a bit strong.

'It's the only information about the plan presented in the last 15 hours' would be better.

  • Nah, it's really not "a bit strong."

    The President of the United States has stated over and over now that there is no transition plan. There is no successor. There is no plan for elections.

    This isn't "he hasn't been asked" or "he has declined to comment." He has said affirmatively there is no plan.

    So either he's lying or there's no plan.

    In either case, my presentation is correct, and your assumptions are completely unfounded.

    • Trump's Reaganesque in Reagan's weaknesses, without any of his strengths. Except maybe charisma to some people.

      At this point in his second administration, I'm firmly convinced that the bulk of the details aren't communicated to him and/or he forgets them.

      Big decisions? Sure, he makes yes/no. But "Let me hear the plan for day x+1?" In what universe would the Trump we've seen ask that question? We're talking about the McDonald's guy.
