    It’s a classic “technically true, but not particularly useful” information tidbit. Harris is in office, Trump isn’t.

        And you’ve confirmed that you don’t understand how the President works. He isn’t simply the King of America who can wave a magic wand and do what he wants.

          you don’t understand how the President works

          Tell it to Dick Cheney. He goes into this at great length in his autobiography
