He believes the hostile foreign power he admires so bigly. Instead of PUSHING BACK and defending his own people he FIRES them and replaces them with bobbleheaded toady sycophants. See how WISE he is?
Instead of telling the MEDDLING hostile foreign power that he rejects it and will stop it and will put sanctions on that country he defends supports embraces agrees kisses butt rolls over begs and lies down. Heels.
Remember this is a WISE EXTREMELY STABLE GENIUS HEAD. That's his style. His MO. His SOP. His schitck. His brand. His template. His raison d'etre.
Meanwhile the hostile foreign power burrows deeper and meddles more. Why doesn't the wise extremely stable genius head put a stop to it? BECAUSE the hostile foreign power meddles on behalf of and solely for the benefit of the wise extremely stable genius head. Isn't it obvious. Why would you bite the hand that feeds you? Turn your back on the hostile foreign power that is watching yours? You wouldn't and neither does the wise extremely stable genius head. That's why he is a genius you see. He's got a lock on priorities and they all center around him. All benefits accrue to him. Screwing that up by defending his country and slapping down the hostile foreign power? Are you nuts?
